Beyond the Firewall:
Webinar Recap:
In this edition of PKI Insights, we explored one of the most pervasive blind spots in cybersecurity: the overreliance on firewalls as the first line of defense.
Firewalls remain one of the most well-funded and widely adopted security tools. But behind that confidence lies an often-ignored dependency: digital certificates. As this session reveals, many critical firewall capabilities depend heavily on the resilience and integrity of PKI — yet most organizations have little to no visibility into this foundational layer.
From real-world disruptions to overlooked misconfigurations, this webinar challenges conventional thinking and raises key questions: What happens when the certificate behind your firewall fails? Is your team prepared for those scenarios? And just how deep does the trust layer go?
If you’re focused on network protection, this session will have you rethinking where your true vulnerabilities lie.
Watch the full recording above to uncover the hidden connections—and risks—that could be impacting your security.
Description:
Firewalls are often seen as the cornerstone of network security — but without secure, validated certificates and a healthy PKI, they can become a false sense of protection. In this webinar, we’ll explore how firewalls depend on certificates for critical functions like VPNs, SSL inspection, and Zero Trust access — and how operational gaps in PKI, such as expiring certificates, stale CRLs, or insecure templates, can silently compromise those defenses. We’ll also explain how PKI Spotlight® brings real-time visibility into your PKI’s health and security posture, helping teams detect issues before they disrupt the firewall layer. If your network relies on firewalls, this is the visibility you didn’t know you were missing.
