General User Education
Now that you hvae created three levels of domain certificates you need to provide a simple way for the general public to tell the which is in use at a site they go to and its relative level of security. Only then can the puboic begin to force web sites to use the safest certificate format, which is probabl the most effective say to get sites to improve their choicese in whcih certifcate to use. 

With different costs of use, even if only in the time to apply for a certifictate, expect web sites to favor the simplest and lowest cost certificate they can use, which will be the weakest. Therefore to be truly effective and have the greatest impact on security, you need to educate hte general public about them and how to tell them apart. When will such a program begin? Do you have good marketers prparing it?

Incorporating a Prevention Mindset into Threat Detection and Response
Threat detection and response systems, by definition, are reactive because they have to wait for damage to be done before finding the attack. With a prevention-mindset, security teams can proactively anticipate the attacker's next move, rather than reacting to specific threats or trying to detect the latest techniques in real-time. The report covers areas enterprises should focus on: What positive response looks like. Improving security hygiene. Combining preventive actions with red team efforts.
