PRESENTATION TITLE:
Why Is Certificate Lifecycle Management Now More Important than Ever?
ABSTRACT:
Gartner recognized Identity Systems Defense as its #2 Top Cybersecurity Trend for 2022. This is a result of accelerating digital transformation, increasing software supply chain attacks such as SolarWinds and the growth of machine identities now far surpassing human identities. Everything needs a digital certificate today to establish a strong identity and provide authentication and encryption services. However, many enterprises are challenged to manage certificates across their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This panel will discuss the importance of certificate management, challenges they face, and why automation is critical.
