Workshop #1: From Certificate Chaos to Control: Istio, Kubernetes and Venafi Unite

Tuesday October 1, 2024 10:00am - 4:00pm EDT

*Separate ticket required*

Dive into the dynamic world of Kubernetes service mesh with this interactive workshop. Designed for InfoSec aficionados, we're steering the PKI ship into uncharted waters with Istio. Does your service mesh feel like a cryptic puzzle? Is the complexity of certificate management in your Kubernetes service mesh slowing you down? No longer! Prepare to set sail across the Kubernetes service mesh, steering through the currents of TLS certificate management with Venafi’s trident of tools: cert-manager, istio-csr and Venafi Firefly. Navigate hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios for unparalleled control and security in your service mesh. Join us and become the captain of your Kubernetes expedition – because certificates shouldn’t be a headache. #KubernetesCaptains #VenafiVoyage

PKI Makeover: How Firefly Helps You Leave Behind 30+ Years of Technical Debt

Thursday October 3, 2024 9:45am - 10:15am EDT

Great Room

Built on application architectures of the 1990s, traditional PKI struggles to scale and meet the demands of the modern enterprise—despite creative efforts to adapt to containerization, multi-cloud and microservices. However, approaches such as turning secrets managers into PKIs or wrapping 20+ year old CAs in containers still face challenges with scaling, costs and maintenance. Join this session to explore modern PKI architectures that sidestep the pains of legacy PKI to keep pace with both accelerated engineering and securing demands. You’ll see the art and science of what is possible now using Venafi Firefly with your existing PKI! Get ready to build in PKI that’s significantly easier, faster and more scalable than anything you’ve used before.
