The Four Pillars of Certificate Automation Apr 22 2021 3:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Tim Callan, Chief Compliance Officer at Sectigo & Jason Soroko, CTO of PKI at SectigoThe more automated your approach to Digital Identity across the enterprise, the better off you are. Think about the risk of an outage if a certificate expires or if certificates are unknowingly deployed in your environment. How quickly can you swap out all of your certificates due to an unplanned or strategic event? Those are just a few examples, but you get the point! We cannot underestimate the impact of not using automation in identity management, especially as certificate lifespans are now becoming shorter and shorter, and quantum computing is looming on the horizon -

Root Causes Episode 41: What is Blockchain's Killer App? Recorded: Mar 26 2021 15 mins
Tim Callan, Senior Fellow at Sectigo & Jason Soroko, CTO of PKI at SectigoOur hosts frequently run into the assumption that blockchain and PKI are extremely similar technologies and are possibly even competitive to each other. While the two approaches accomplish some related goals, they are very different in how they work and ultimately accomplish different ends. Join us as we explain what blockchain actually does and how it compares to PKI, including some examples of use cases that are appropriate for each of these technologies. -
Root Causes Episode 37: Quantum Apocalypse-Will Quantum Annealing Break Crypto Recorded: Mar 24 2021 21 mins
Tim Callan, Senior Fellow at Sectigo & Jason Soroko, CTO of PKI at SectigoQuantum annealing is a special case of quantum computing for which the engineering challenges are lessened - and therefore we expect computers of this sort to achieve stability sooner.

Join us to learn about this project to discover and vet going-forward crypto candidates, where we stand in the process, and where we go from here. -
Root Causes Episode 35: Quantum Apocalypse-Mosca's Inequality, Mad Max, Mohawks Recorded: Mar 19 2021 20 mins
Tim Callan, Senior Fellow at Sectigo & Jason Soroko, CTO of PKI at SectigoQuantum computers have the potential to defeat the RSA and ECC encryption underlying our digital world. We must swap out these algorithms before quantum computers reach that stage of maturity. But how long to we have? Join our hosts Tim Callan and Jason Soroko as they explain how to calculate the ominously named "Z date," the possible consequences of missing that deadline, and potential hairstyles for a post-apocalyptic world. -
Root Causes Episode 34: Shadow IT and PKI Recorded: Mar 17 2021 23 mins
Tim Callan, Senior Fellow at Sectigo & Jason Soroko, CTO of PKI at SectigoShadow IT has become a fact of the modern enterprise. SaaS, BYOD, outsourced development, embedded IT, DevOps, and public cloud have all chipped away at the CIO's ability to oversee and control the enterprise's technology systems. This fragmentation leads to identity and access challenges that can affect security, governance, auditability, and compliance. Join our hosts as they discuss these challenges and what IT departments can do to address them. -
