Identity-First Security, the Foundation for Zero Trust

Machine identities greatly outnumber human identities but they continue to be a blind spot for most identity and access management programs. In this webinar, Marc Airo-Farulla, Regional Sales Director at AppViewX, will discuss the challenges of identity-first security and why machine identity management is critical to achieving Zero Trust. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is an essential component to providing trusted identities for machines which include, PCs, mobile, networking and IoT devices as well as servers, applications, cloud services and containers. These trusted identities are verified using digital certificates that enable secure access and authorization and encrypted communication and transactions. With the increasing complexity of hybrid multi-cloud environments and frequency of cyberattacks, effective certificate lifecycle management has become more important than ever before. However, the challenge is that many enterprise organizations are still using inefficient manual processes and cannot manage certificates at scale. Marc shares his insights and expertise on the key components of a successful certificate lifecycle management program, including automation for continuous discovery, inventory, monitoring, and renewal. He also discusses the potential risks and challenges of certificate management, and offers practical tips for ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. Whether you're a business owner, IT professional, or cybersecurity expert, you won't want to miss this informative and engaging episode. Join us as we explore the challenges of managing machine identities, the role of certificate lifecycle management and how achieving identity-first security will put you on the path to Zero Trust.
