Description
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificates are foundational to securing healthcare environments, but their failures often go unnoticed until it’s too late. In this session, we’ll explore how overlooked or mismanaged PKI systems can quietly undermine critical operations — from electronic health records (EHR) to pharmacy automation and diagnostic labs — with real-world examples pulled from the healthcare space.
Through the lens of healthcare, we’ll demonstrate the costly and operationally disruptive impacts of expired certificates, poor visibility, and weak governance. However, these insights are not limited to healthcare alone. Any organization that relies on uptime, secure authentication, and trust in digital systems will benefit from understanding how silent PKI failures can escalate into major incidents.
Join us to learn how modern PKI management practices can help you move from reactive firefighting to proactive resilience. We’ll share practical guidance on building visibility, improving posture management, and reducing operational risks tied to digital certificates — no matter your industry.
Whether you’re maintaining an on-prem PKI or planning for modernization, this session offers timely insights to help you adapt your environment and maintain trust in your digital infrastructure.
Webinar Recap
This month we brought together real-world insight, practical examples, and industry context to highlight a growing challenge: most organizations are managing PKI reactively — if at all — and that approach is no longer sustainable.
Using scenarios from healthcare as a starting point, the conversation explored how certificate-related failures disrupt critical services, not just in hospitals and labs, but across every sector where authentication, uptime, and secure communications are non-negotiable. We shared firsthand how the complexity of PKI has grown, how often it lacks clear ownership, and why traditional methods of monitoring and renewal are no longer enough.
Rather than diving into deep technical configurations, we focused on business and operational outcomes: the risks of limited visibility, the hidden cost of manual processes, and the steps organizations can take to strengthen their digital trust fabric.
Whether you’re already experiencing PKI-related pain points or simply want to stay ahead of potential disruption, the session provides a strategic look at why PKI posture management is emerging as a critical discipline — and what you can do next.
