We are the world's largest commercial SSL Certificate Authority. Our webinars are specially designed to help you protect your online business, connected devices, applications, and digital identities.

With today’s encryption algorithms steadily marching toward the so-called Quantum Apocalypse, it has never been more important to prepare for Post Quantum Cryptography.
 
Join Jason Soroko and Tim Callan for the latest in Post Quantum Cryptography, what’s in the cards for 2023, and how you can prepare your business for quantum computing’s advances.

2023 – the Year to Be Quantum Ready

Join us to discover and avoid the most common PKI errors businesses make. We’ll shine a spotlight on typical certificate and deployment problems, systemic security problems, governance problems and visibility problems.

Sounds familiar? While these mistakes are easily made, we’re giving you handy hints and tips of how you can set up your business for PKI success. (Hint: Crypto-agility is one of the strategies!)

Don't Make These 21 PKI Mistakes

Passwordless is a hot topic, and rightly so, as shared-secret credentials represent not only a terrible user experience but also a major vulnerability in today’s modern infrastructure.  Unfortunately, many so-called “passwordless” solutions are anything but. 

In this presentation, Tim Callan and Jason Soroko will:
- Define what a true passwordless solution is, what isn’t and why the difference matters 
- Show you how to tell if an approach is truly passwordless or merely “less password” 
- Explain why Multi-Factor Authentication is merely a partial mitigator for the vulnerabilities inherent in shared-secret credentials 
- Spell out strategies for dealing with situations where true passwordless is difficult or impossible to implement in order to minimize your exposure

Is Your Passwordless Really Passwordless?

We need Trust, not "Zero Trust"! From Cybersecurity, Digital Identity, to the Metaverse; Digital Trust underpins it all. Zero Trust is a great concept, but it is only the first step in the journey to secure digital identities. 

In this session David Mahdi focuses on:
- The strategic notion of Zero Trust, and what it means in a world that needs Digital Trust. 
- The definition of Identity-First and Perimeter-Less Security, a Gartner Top Security trend, with Zero Trust network architecture in mind. 
- The importance of Identity-First Security and establishing Digital Trust for human and machine identities.

We’re So Done With Zero Trust! Why You Need to Focus on Digital Trust

The recent announcement of NIST’s third round selections for post-quantum encryption algorithms is a major milestone in the journey to quantum-safe computing systems. But while this announcement marks the end of one chapter, another is only beginning. Now standards bodies, hardware and software manufacturers, and ultimately businesses across the globe will have to implement new cryptography across all aspects of their computing systems. Until we have upgraded cryptography everywhere, our digital operations remain insecure. 

Join Sectigo's Chief Compliance Officer Tim Callan and CTO Jason Soroko to learn:
- Who the 4 NIST winners are and what their respective algorithms are for
- Why cryptoagility matters now more than ever before
- What practical steps your organization needs to take to prepare for quantum-resistant encryption

Preparing for Post-Quantum Security

Increasing cybersecurity concerns require enhanced control over administration, and certificate-based SSH delivers substantial improvements to the SSH community. In this webinar, Tim and Jason discuss how certificate lifecycle management for SSH offers organizations significant cost-savings along with increased fine-grained controls over IT server administration.

Certificate Lifecycle Management for SSH

Talking about cybersecurity tends to be all doom and gloom, but it shouldn't be. There is a lot to be positive about. In this webinar, Tim Callan and Jason Soroko discuss five positive security trends that we'd like to see continue into 2022, and more specifically how security technologies are moving from endpoints to core enterprise security.

5 Positive Security Trends for 2022

A VPN is not a security tool! It's in the name. This is just one of the many security misconceptions that people still continue to believe in 2022. There is a lot of misinformation surrounding information security and it only makes our jobs harder when protecting sensitive data. In this webinar, Sectigo’s Jason Soroko and Greg Mooney discuss the top security fallacies and some tips on ways to avoid them.

15 Security Fallacies We Still Commit in 2022

The volume of certificates used to secure human and machine identities is growing exponentially. Businesses face new management challenges that can't be solved with legacy CA models or outdated on-premises solutions. Sectigo solves this challenge by introducing a new universal platform to automate the lifecycle management for all certificates issued by Sectigo and other public and private CAs used across the enterprise. It's modern PKI for the modern enterprise. Join Tim Callan and Jason Soroko as they unveil the new CA agnostic capabilities in Certificate Manager, Sectigo's flagship certificate management platform.

CA Agnostic Certificate Lifecycle Management for the Modern Enterprise

Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms can deal with certificates from a number of sources. A CLM that can provision certificates of all types from all CAs, private and public, would be described as "CA agnostic." In this episode we explain this idea and its significance along with the key criteria for choosing a CA agnostic CLM platform.

Malware and other web site attacks are a frequent problem for small businesses and can result in reputational damage and site access being blocked or hindered by end user software and services. We are joined by web site protection expert JP Armenta, who explains how these attacks occur, their effects, and how site operators can protect themselves.

The root certificates of the EU's Covid Passport program have suffered a private key compromise and counterfeit passports are now for sale on the black market. We explain the implications of this shocking revelation.

Root Causes Episode 185: EU Covid Passport Root Key Stolen

Recent cyber threats like the PetitPotam relay attack on Microsoft, the SolarWinds supply chain compromise, and countless others have put a bright spotlight on the age-old debate: Is the cloud as secure as an on-premise infrastructure? As enterprises are targeted with increasingly sophisticated on-premise breaches – despite firewalls and other roadblocks – it is clear data center proximity does not equal impenetrable protection. Tim Callan and Jason Soroko explain the benefits of a cloud-based approach to security and why certificate-based authentication between all systems is critical to securing enterprises today and tomorrow.

Cloud or On-Premise: Updating Assumptions on Secure Certificate Management

Recent research reveals that certificate misconfiguration in a commonly used college WiFi platform that can lead to exposure and theft of users' login credentials. Our hosts discuss WiFi authentication and the EAP protocol and explain how this vulnerability occurs.

At this year's BlackHat, a talk and white paper detailed the threat of MSCA root key attacks, which can be used to create unauthorized certificates. This release includes a pair of offensive toolkits and a defensive toolkit. We explain the importance of this release and provide a clear action list for IT professionals in charge of Microsoft CA.

Let's Encrypt's recent root expiration caused widespread service outages and other hassles for online services and sites. Our hosts discuss this expiration, why so many problems resulted, and the recipe for avoiding these problems in the future.

Root Causes Episode 182: Let's Encrypt Root Expiration

SMS-based one time password (OTP) is a very commonly used form of multi-factor authentication (MFA). That's because it's fast and inexpensive to roll out to users. Unfortunately it is deeply vulnerable to a set of well-defined attacks. In this episode our hosts explain why SMS MFA became so popular and how this outdated MFA scheme fails to provide the security expected by those who use it.
