Root Causes 568: Upping Your Certificate Game for Better Security
16/1/2026 | 12 mins.
Senior cyber security advisor Chris McGrath joins us to discuss redefining digital certificates and their role in your organizational security profile, increasing regulation of certificates, and how enterprises can up their certificate game.
Digital certificate industry veterans Tim Callan and Jason Soroko explore the issues surrounding digital identity, PKI, and cryptographic connections in today's dynamic and evolving computing world. Best practices in digital certificates are continually under pressure from technology trends, new laws and regulations, cryptographic advances, and the evolution of our computing architectures to be more virtual, agile, ubiquitous, and cloud-based. Jason and Tim (and the occasional guest subject matter expert) will help you stay current on developments in this essential technology platform and to understand the whys and wherefores of popular Public Key Infrastructures.
