Visibility first: Why discovery is the foundation of your certificate infrastructure

You can't manage what you can't see. As machine identities multiply across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments, many organizations are still relying on an incomplete picture of their own certificate landscape made up of a mix of spreadsheets, team knowledge, and gaps nobody's found yet.

Join Sectigo for a practical look at what real certificate visibility looks like: how automated discovery works across mixed environments and issuing CAs, why it's the prerequisite for crypto agility and PQC readiness, and how teams are replacing manual tracking with continuous, centralized inventory. We'll walk through what to look for in a discovery solution, common blind spots that lead to outages, and how visibility sets the foundation for everything else in certificate lifecycle management.

Agenda:

1. The visibility gap: Why certificate sprawl and shortening lifespans are outpacing manual management, and what most inventories are missing.

2. What automated discovery actually finds: Comprehensive scanning across environments and issuing Cas, and how it builds a single source of truth.

3. From inventory to action: Real-time alerting on expirations and misconfigurations, and how centralized dashboards replace spreadsheets and manual checks.

4. Visibility as the first step to crypto agility: Why knowing what you have is the prerequisite for PQC migration, algorithm changes, and fast certificate replacement.

5. What to look for in a discovery solution: Scalability, search/filtering, team and org-level assignment, and how to evaluate fit for your environment.
