Certificate automation in the 47-day era
A closed-door conversation on shrinking certificate lifespans, PQC readiness, and machine identity sprawl, translated into the PKI realities of state, local, and higher-ed IT. This interactive discussion gives you access to Sectigo's CLM, PKI, and compliance experts. A conversation designed by CISOs and CIOs, specifically for CISOs and CIOs.

The 47-day certificate mandate lands differently in the public sector: longer procurement cycles, older PKI, and budgets set a year in advance. We capped this session at 15 attendees to maintain real conversation between peers so you can compare notes with direct access to the people tracking this shift full-time.
Your hosts for the session
Tim Callan
Chief of Compliance
Tracks the certificate validity mandate and what it means for compliance teams inside regulated, budget-constrained organizations.
Jason Soroko
Senior Fellow
Focuses on machine identity sprawl across distributed environments like the multi-campus, multi-agency reality SLED teams manage daily.
Nick France
Chief Technology Officer
Brings the technical view on automation architecture and what a vendor-agnostic path to shorter validity actually looks like.
90 minutes, four parts
00–20 min: State of play
The 47-day validity and PQC timeline, translated into SLED-specific budget cycles, procurement lead times, and legacy PKI constraints.
20–45 min: Technical deep-dive & what good looks like
Machine identity sprawl across distributed, multi-campus and multi-agency environments, and a vendor-agnostic walkthrough of what automation actually looks like in practice.
45–60 min: Live self-assessment
A short, live poll including "do you know your total certificate count today, without estimating?", so you can benchmark against peers in the room in real time.
60–90 min: Open Q&A + peer-to-peer discussion
The floor is yours. Bring a question if you have one — plus a soft, no-pressure offer to follow up 1:1 on anything specific to your environment.
