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.

Modernizing PKI to Prepare for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Thursday October 3, 2024 9:00am - 9:30am EDT

Cityside

To prepare for the era of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), Air France-KLM has faced the challenge of modernizing a legacy-laden and intricate Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) environment. This was not an easy task for two companies each with over 90 years of history with legacy systems. Join this presentation to learn the comprehensive efforts the airlines undertook to rationalize and update the PKI ecosystem. Explore where we focused enhancements in security, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness perspectives to prepare for PQC. And see how Air France-KLM has strategically improved its cryptographic infrastructure to meet future demands.

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.
