As machine identities continue to radically outnumber human identities, machine identity management has become even more mission-critical—and Venafi has led the charge in solving that problem for countless customers. But now it’s time to rethink our security models to go beyond just managing machine identities: we need to secure them. Join this keynote address to share our vision of new paradigms in identity security that bring together developers and security teams in the common goal of protecting your organization’s most valuable digital assets: identities.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) threatens conventional cryptographic methods. And your post-quantum success is dependent on your pre-quantum readiness. Join a lively discussion on how businesses can prepare to mitigate emerging quantum computing threats of the near future and thrive in a world transformed by quantum computing. Our industry-leading panel will explore trends influencing the post-quantum readiness of today’s enterprises and how adopting automated, crypto-agile machine identity security plays a pivotal role in achieving a seamless transition to the post-quantum era – before quantum computers are mature enough to threaten your organization’s cryptography.

If you’re just looking at key strength, algorithms, and lifetimes, you’re only seeing part of the picture. Beyond weak cryptography, insecure key stores and certificate mismanagement, certificate can create a lucrative attack surface through their identity and the trust of that identity. This session will introduce the elements of a certificate's attack surface and how to gauge risk to better prioritize management and alerting around high value certificate targets.
