Distrust (2017)
A helicopter crash left a group of explorers stranded near an Arctic base. As they try to find a way back, all they are doing is sinking deeper into a nightmare scenario. When they sleep, they attract a terrifying force that sucks the life out of their bodies, but the longer they battle exhaustion and stay awake, the less likely they are to survive.

Symantec Corporation has been failing to properly validate certificates. After continuously observing and investigating Symantec’s seemingly ineffective certificate issuance policies and practices over the past several years, Google Chrome has announced that it intends to distrust all currently-trusted Symantec-issued certificates. This drastically severe implication would now affect all websites with Symantec SSL certificates.
This is not the first time that Symantec has issued certificates without adhering to the necessary policies and practices. In 2015, Symantec’s Thawte-branded CA had issued an Extended Validation (EV) pre-certificate for “google.com” and “www.google.com” without any request or authorization from Google.
Sep 14, 2016 Gallup began asking this question in 1972, and on a yearly basis since 1997. Over the history of the entire trend, Americans' trust and confidence hit its highest point in 1976, at 72%, in the wake of widely lauded examples of investigative journalism regarding Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. After staying in the low to mid-50s through the. Sep 11, 2017 December 1, 2017 does not mandate any certificate changes, but represents an opportunity for site operators to obtain TLS server certificates that will not be affected by Chrome 70’s distrust of the old infrastructure.

Later, Symantec disclosed that it had misissued 23 certificates. A further audit revealed that they had misissued 164 additional certificates over 76 domains, and had also misissued 2,458 certificates for unregistered domains. Considering these misissued vulnerabilities, Google had decided to insist that all Symantec certificates should support Certificate Transparency.
Symantec’s lackadaisical certificate issuance policies and practices along with “continually increasing scope of misissuance” had led to Google’s announcement to distrust ALL existing Symantec-issued Certificates.
Google Chrome’s proposal:
- A reduction in the accepted validity period of newly issued Symantec-issued certificates to nine months or less, in order to minimize any impact to Google Chrome users from any further misissuances that may arise.
- An incremental distrust, spanning a series of Google Chrome releases, of all currently-trusted Symantec-issued certificates, requiring they be revalidated and replaced.
- Removal of recognition of the Extended Validation status of Symantec issued certificates, until such a time as the community can be assured in the policies and practices of Symantec, but no sooner than one year.
Details provided by Symantec reveal that they did not perform the critical functions of a root certificate authority and also did not take adequate measures to prevent the issuance of fraudulent certificates.
Symantec had allowed access to its infrastructure that allowed other parties to issue certificates, who however did not follow the necessary secure policies and practices to issue certificates only to non-fraudulent entities. However, even after knowing about the misissued certificates Symantec did not proactively disclose and warn website operators or users about these fraudulent certificates. This poses a significant risk to all website visitors who had trusted Symantec so long. Symantec had also proposed remedial measures that were inadequate to restore trust and confidence in their SSL certificates.
While it is true that Symantec has been losing its market share to other CAs such as Comodo, this careless attitude in misissuing certs will affect all existing users and site operators using Symantec SSL certificates. Further, this would also affect certificates issued by their acquired CAs, such as Thawte, Verisign, and Equifax.
Mitigation Measures for Site Operators
Site operators will have to restore user trust in their website. They must switch over to a CA that atleast follows the Baseline Requirements of the CA/Browser Forum in issuing SSL certificates. Acquiring an SSL certificate is just not enough. Getting it from a CA who takes more than adequate security measures is what matters. Protect your website and your users with robust certificates.
Trust vanishes. In an unexpected way, distrust prepares the comeback of trust. Distrust sets the correction required, and business leaders can be the example.
Gain Trust: A Place to Begin
A Trust Depression exists. A saving element is the view of business. In the 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer, 3 out of 4 respondents “agree a company can take actions to both increase profits and improve economic and social conditions in the community where it operates.” For those who do not believe “the system” is working for them, 58 percent say they trust business the most.
For business leaders, an opportunity exists to be a big player in restoring trust. Will we take the opportunity? Will we embrace the responsibility?

What business leaders need to do is to distrust. By distrusting, better plans develop. It sounds unnatural, but give it a moment to think through.
TweetBusinesses: The Brink of Distrust
“Yet business finds itself on the brink of distrust, and perhaps most concerning for business is the perceived role the public sees it playing in stoking their fears.” Businesses have their feet at the trust ledge. In the 2017 Trust Barometer, the concerns:
- 60 percent worries about losing their jobs due to the impacts of globalization
- 60 percent worry about the lack of training or skills
- 58 percent fear immigrants who work for less
- 55 percent fear jobs moving to cheaper markets and 54 percent fear automation
The challenge. While people have faith in business as a positive force, the concerns about the business impact are deep. Navigating between trust and fear and change and status quo is challenging and stifling. Changes are inevitable yet wrong moves crater trust.
Distrust to Trust: A Path Forward
What business leaders need to do is to distrust. By distrusting, better plans develop. It sounds unnatural, but give it a moment to think through.
Begin to distrust your convictions
Most business leaders have strong convictions. Strong convictions built strong careers. Strong convictions also make old solutions seem applicable to new problems and challenges.
To distrust our convictions means we must question our assumptions. We must engage new information and think through what it means for our products, services, and offerings. Intertwined is what it will do for our team members, partners, and stakeholders.
With better information and analysis, we need to craft new plans that include how to help employees, customers, and partners make the change with us. Nothing will be easy for all involved, but it will be better when we think through our plans for all involved. Woven in these actions, trust recovers because our efforts show it.
Begin to distrust you are the best leader you can be
As leaders age, they believe they have the skills, knowledge, and talent to push them to the finish line. However, just as the environment in which the business has changed, how we lead has changed, too.
Leaders need to distrust that they are the best they can be and begin to learn new leadership skills and enhance existing ones. No leader is too young or too old to learn a new skill or capability. Our leadership demands it, and our teams require it.
When people see business leaders change, their trust strengthens. Not only are the workers supposed to change but the leaders need to as well.
No matter how successful our leadership has been, we need to break certain habits and create new ones.
Begin to distrust that the status quo will protect others
Mistrust 2017 Movie
Business leaders work in a realm that is comfortable. Change can happen “out there” but not “in here.” The status quo rarely protects anyone.
Distrusting status quo is healthy as cracks are uncovered. Distrusting status quo is not change for change sake. It is change for better outcomes.
We cannot afford to stand still or turn back to another time and place. Moving forward is the better option. When moving forward becomes the better option, it is by:
- Solving problems in thoughtful and collaborative ways
- Communicating why the change is needed and how we will help
- Focusing on the long term while supporting the short-term transitions

Distrust your urge for inaction. Act upon what is right and necessary to educate more fully and collaborate more diversely.

Begin to distrust that economic and social change will be positive for others (eventually)
Economic and social changes happen often. Some may embrace it all the time and at all costs. An essential point is that there are costs to economic and social change. Some will be left behind, and others will work to thwart change.
We cannot view economic and social changes as all positive. Reality says otherwise. Instead, we need to understand what the pains will be, as best we can, and develop a care plan to assist in the transitions.
What lacks in many social and economic changes is clear communication. We want to lay low until it all blows over, and it never blows over quickly. We need to step up and communicate what to expect through the changes and how certain plans are working to help others through the changes.
We need to work together through the change. In doing so, trust holds us accountable.
Distrust Enables Trust
A healthy distrust of what we always have known enables a new trust to arise. As leaders, we get stuck in our own little worlds. We need to disrupt ourselves, just as others are disrupted in any change. Outdated ways rarely inspire trust. We can learn from history, but we must apply history to lead in more transparent and inclusive ways.
Distrust is to leadership what disrupt is to innovation. Distrust our obsolete thoughts and solutions to restore trust in change and betterment.
Achieving the mission of growth in trust will empower more people in more places toward a more positive future.
