"Once you look at the long term benefit of an effective automation system and how it improves your compliance as far as security is concerned, it outweighs the initial investment that a customer has to factor when having to make a decision on moving to automation."
In this episode of Trust.ID Talk: The Digital Certificate and Identity Security Podcast, host Michelle Davidson is joined by Kevin Naidoo, Founder and Engineering Lead at Quantum PKI, to explore the challenges of managing shorter certificate lifespans and the importance of automation when it comes to certificate lifecycle management (CLM).
What You’ll Learn:
- Why manual certificate management creates security vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies
- How shortening certificate lifespans make automation essential
- The true cost-benefit analysis of implementing automated CLM solutions
- How to choose the right CLM vendor based on specific use cases and integration requirements
- Why quantum computing threats require a comprehensive approach beyond just quantum-safe algorithms
With vast experience in digital security infrastructure, Kevin has guided numerous organizations through the complexities of certificate management automation and PKI implementation. His work in helping organizations navigate complex PKI environments and implement effective automation solutions has made him a trusted voice in the digital security space. Kevin's practical experience with high-stakes implementations, including his work with leading pharmaceutical companies and his understanding of emerging threats like post-quantum cryptography, makes this conversation especially valuable for IT security professionals seeking to future-proof their certificate management strategies.
