Join us for a practical session on what's breaking, why it's breaking, and how to get ahead of the next stepdown before it hits. We’re exposing gaps in certificate inventories, ownership and DCV workflows, and we’ll cover the real cost of manual renewal cycles, how automation takes away the burden, and how to turn this renewal surge into a dry run for 100-day certificates.
