Rulename	CYFIRMA - Attack Surface - Weak Certificate Exposure - High Rule
Description	“This alert indicates that a weak or insecure SSL/TLS certificate has been detected on a public-facing asset monitored by Cyfirma. Such certificates do not meet modern encryption standards and are considered insecure, especially for handling sensitive transactions. This exposure increases the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks and loss of data integrity or confidentiality. Immediate remediation is advised by replacing weak certificates with strong, industry-compliant ones.”
