The Updates Keep Coming:
Kerberos, Certificate Mapping and What’s Next
Webinar Recap:
The discussion highlighted how these updates are affecting real-world PKI environments — from authentication failures tied to smart card logons and YubiKeys, to new methods for mapping certificates in Active Directory. We also examined why Microsoft’s patch behavior is shifting toward newer OS versions and what that means for organizations still running older systems.
Beyond the technical deep dive, the session featured insights into emerging PKI challenges, field discoveries involving nCipher HSMs, and even a candid take on how AI tools are (and aren’t) ready to assist with PKI troubleshooting.
Curious about what these updates mean for your environment — and how to prepare for what’s next?
Watch the full recording to see what’s changing, what to watch for, and how to stay ahead of Microsoft’s evolving authentication landscape.
