Workshop #3: Don't Be a Broken Record: How to Conquer Automation Once and For All

Tuesday October 1, 2024 10:00am - 2:00pm EDT

*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.

Will 90-day certificates break your business? Automation is the only way forward. Staying on top of shorter, 90-day certificate lifespans just isn’t possible with manual management. Join this session to learn about the machine identity security challenges that are driving the need for automation today and how those efforts will smooth your transition to impending shorter certificate standards. You’ll hear real-life examples of what can go wrong without the right levels of automation and get advice on how to sidestep the consequences of manual certificate management now and into the future.
