Digital transformation accelerates at a fast pace, and organizations struggle to secure their digital identities. PKI as a Service (PKIaaS) is a game changer for security. It isn’t just about keys; it’s a blend of agility, scalability, and trust. PKIaaS will provide:

• Quick Deployment: PKIaaS deploys and expands in minutes to secure your business use cases.
• Cloud-Native Scalability: Growth at nearly limitless capabilities
• Security First: Entrust manages the PKI infrastructure for you

We will also review our integration and the ease in which PKIaaS plays with MDM vendors, Microsoft Active Directory and certificate automation and how to seamlessly leverage PKI with your existing enterprise IT platform.

• Microsoft Intune: Securely enroll devices, manages their lifecycle, and handle certificates.
• Other MDM vendors: PKIaaS collaborates seamlessly with various MDM partners, enhancing your Zero Trust strategy.
• Microsoft Active Directory support
• ACMEv2 and SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol)

As we continue to navigate security within organizations, PKIaaS will provide the assurance that you need.

Specialized threats targeting OT environments have been around since at least 2010, with the reports of Stuxnet. Recognizing the criticality of these devices, Threat Actors have continued evolving, continuing to target OT devices, many of which are inherently insecure-by-design. Research, such as Vedere Labs’ OT:ICEFALL research project and Project Basecamp by Digital Bond from 10 years ago showed how significant the scope of vulnerable devices are that are pervasive in critical infrastructure systems. Today’s SOC needs to not only see those devices and the risks they pose while also ensuring accurate detection of the threats uniquely targeting those OT environments they’re deployed in. This session will explore this unique threat landscape and the capabilities required to combat the threats and automatically mitigate the risks specially targeting Operational Technology environments.

  Presented by Marty McDonald, Sr Domain Security Advisor • Optiv

In this session, we will discuss trends Optiv is seeing in the SIEM market and how they may relate to your environment. We will focus on the move towards a single collection of logs and routing of those logs to multiple platforms to meet the use cases and requirements of the business and security. Once the collection of the logs is separate from the search, correlation, and analytic layers what does it mean to you?

  Presented by Tanner Harrison, Systems Engineer • Fortinet

Today’s ever-changing threat landscape challenges traditional security models. The emergence of the Zero Trust model represents a transformative approach, reshaping how organizations protect their assets. This presentation aims to demystify Zero Trust, offering a comprehensive understanding that goes beyond buzzwords. We will explore the foundational concepts of Zero Trust, emphasizing the “never trust, always verify” philosophy. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge to begin their Zero Trust journey, enhancing their security posture, and protecting critical data and systems from modern threats. Whether you are a security professional, IT manager, or organizational leader, this discussion will empower you to take decisive action toward a more secure future.
