Simplify PKI 2021, a first-of-its-kind Industry online event features insightful sessions from Gartner, other industry experts and pioneers in the CCoE movement on next-gen certificate and key lifecycle automation and machine identity management kicks off March 10-11, 2021. The two-day virtual event will feature sessions from influential experts on certificate lifecycle management (CLM), automation, public key infrastructure (PKI), machine identity and critical industry trends. Simplify PKI 2021 is sponsored by AppViewX, a leader in certificate and key lifecycle automation,IoT and DevOps security solutions as well as machine identity management.

Organizers cite the explosive growth of hardware, hybrid cloud, apps and IoT environments require a fundamentally different, next-gen approach to the management of certificates and crypto keys via automation and workflows. Today’s enterprises are increasingly choosing full lifecycle machine identity management platforms which drive intelligent automation especially when dealing with large, complex, multivendor certificate environments and diverse use cases like on-prem, IoT, DevOps, and hybrid cloud. Consistent and repeatable processes ensure visibility, reporting, governance, and compliance across the board for IT management.

“If there is one thing last year taught us, it’s that security operations teams and CISOs should always be ready to expect the unexpected – and rapidly scale to adapt,” said Gregory Webb, CEO, AppViewX. “Unprecedented attacks have unfortunately become the norm, prompting enterprises to ramp up security to manage risk and operational uncertainty while enforcing trust and cybersecurity. This has become top priority for enterprises who want to be frontrunners. However, they absolutely cannot achieve this with outdated tools, processes or without the right maturity model to true, next-gen crypto agility. Join our inaugural Simplify PKI 2021 summit to learn how.”

Speakers and sessions at Simplify PKI 2021 will examine trends around machine identity, CLM and PKI, and provide interaction for attendees to share, discuss and find ways to manage multiple certificates and keys in hybrid environments.

Speakers include:

  • David Anthony Mahdi, Senior Director Analyst, Gartner
  • Sean Ryan, Senior Analyst Serving Security & Risk Professionals, Forrester
  • Anoosh Saboori, Product Manager, Cloud Security Platform, Google
  • Ivan Skowronski, Lead of Cybersecurity Architecture Team, Telecom Argentina
