    Just two months ago, a security team member dinged one of our services for using Lets Encrypt, as “it’s not as secure as a traditional CA”.

      I’d love for them to explain how, if anything the short cert validity and constant re-checking of the domain seems more secure than traditional CAs

      It’s sad that these arguments are still being shared. It was the same arguments years ago from people that would just assume that a free cert was inherently unsafe.
