PKI Meets PAM: Automation Strategies for the New TLS Certificate Lifespan

As TLS certificate lifespans shrink to 47 days by 2029, identity teams face mounting pressure to automate. This session explores the intersection of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Privileged Access Management (PAM)/Identity Access Management (IAM)—and how automation can deliver uninterrupted operations, compliance, and improved efficiency in mature environments.

What you’ll learn:

• Why 47 days? Understanding the new TLS certificate standard and its rationale.
• Scope of impact: What is and isn’t affected by the change.
• Implications for identity teams: How shortened lifespans reshape certificate management.
• Automation strategies: Building resilience through automated certificate lifecycle management.
• Integration approaches: Connecting PKI with PAM/IAM systems for seamless operations.
• Operational & compliance benefits: Why automation matters for security and governance.
• CAB Forum influence: How upcoming changes will affect your organization.
