*Separate ticket required*

Are you a broken record when it comes to certificate lifecycle automation? You’ve set goals, key results, and even offered bonuses tied to “fully automate all lifecycle management for certificates.” You are not alone. It’s time to toss out that dusty old record and embrace modernization! We’re going to break down the most common challenges to achieving full automation and show you exactly how to conquer them. If you’ve ever been told “The PKI team has no access,” “We can’t automate that because it’s too important,” or “We can’t do anything without a change ticket,” then this is the workshop you don’t want to miss! We’ll be jamming to a playlist of specific strategies, practical tips and technology you’ll be able to use to build your own roadmap to automation. Once you’re back at your desk, you’ll be ready to dance to the beat of full lifecycle automation with a plan of action you can start using immediately.

The Future of Machine Identity Security

Wednesday October 2, 2024 9:00am - 9:30am EDT

Great Room

As machine identities continue to exponentially outnumber human identities, relying on manual or siloed tools to manage and secure them is a losing proposition, increasing inefficiencies and security risks. We will explain why we must rethink our security models to defend against identity-based cyberattacks, especially when it comes to machine-to-machine connections and communications. A new paradigm is required – one that leverages automation and is inherently scalable to help organizations protect against misuse and compromise of machine identities and secrets, vastly improve security, and stop costly outages.

Software supply chain attacks continue to be front page news. The software supply chain comprises everything that touches an application or plays a role in its assembly, development or deployment. Weaknesses anywhere can introduce risk everywhere, and the only way to mitigate this risk is to understand everything that's in the supply chain. This is where identity-based software and workloads are crucial to reduce risks in software supply chains. Focus will be around the latest industry approaches to signing and verifying artifacts, with a specific focus around Kubernetes workloads by taking advantage of container signing tools such as notation and providing real-time policy enforcement via Kyverno.

Comprehensively Securing the Certificate Management Process, End-to-End

Thursday October 3, 2024 1:30pm - 2:00pm EDT

Great Room

As a TLS Protect or Zero Touch PKI customer, you have powerful capabilities for automating the entire certificate lifecycle. But how are you ensuring that your certificate and PKI administrators securely access the systems that actually manage the certificates and that their admin credentials aren’t compromised? How do you ensure that these systems are able to get the credentials needed to securely access the organization’s hybrid-cloud application and IT infrastructure — so they can renew and validate certificates simply, securely and efficiently?

In this session, we’ll cover how CyberArk PAM, Secrets Management and the CyberArk Identity Security Platform enable organizations to holistically simplify automating and securing their entire certificate management process, end to end. You’ll learn how to leverage your existing investments to take advantage of the capabilities that are available today from CyberArk, some at no additional cost. These include protecting and rotating credentials in a single vault, best practices for securing admin access, and leveraging out-of-the-box certified integrations from CyberArk and Venafi, a CyberArk company.
