PKI Isn't Legacy, but the Way You're Running It Might Be.

PKI quietly secures nearly everything—TLS, Wi-Fi, VPNs, APIs, devices, workloads, and the systems they connect to.

But for a lot of teams, PKI still means manual certificate requests, painful renewals, aging CAs, and the constant fear that an expired certificate will take something important offline.

PKI isn't the problem. Running it like it's still 2010 is.

The number of devices, workloads, services, and AI agents that need identities is growing, while certificate lifetimes are getting shorter. Managing that infrastructure manually doesn't scale.

In this webinar, we'll explore what modern PKI looks like when certificate lifecycle management is built around automation from the start.

We'll cover:

• Why traditional PKI became so difficult to operate
• How ACME automates certificate issuance and renewal
• How shorter-lived certificates change the way teams need to think about lifecycle management
• Where hardware-bound keys add stronger identity guarantees
• How to manage certificates across devices, workloads, services, and other non-human identities

We'll also walk through a live demo showing how Smallstep automates certificate issuance, renewal, and lifecycle management—so PKI becomes infrastructure your systems can depend on without your team constantly thinking about it.

Join us Tuesday, November 17th at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET for a practical look at leaving legacy PKI operations behind without leaving PKI behind.
