Security matchmaker: How PKI-based credentials and IAM can save the digital world

The digital world is built on trust, but that trust is fragmented. On one side, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) governs human authentication and authorization. On the other, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) quietly underpins machine identities, secure communications, and cryptographic trust. These two forces have operated in silos for too long—but in an era of evolving cyber threats and the looming impact of quantum computing, they need each other more than ever. 

This session brings IAM and PKI together, demonstrating how their integration is essential to fortifying security, automating risky manual processes, and ensuring long-term resilience. As non-human identities explode across IoT, AI, and software, and as quantum advancements threaten traditional cryptography, organizations must bridge the divide to build a unified, adaptable security foundation. 

Join us to discover: 

  • How the acceleration of quantum threats and shrinking certificate lifespans demand a shift toward crypto agility. 
  • How PKI-based credentials serve as a critical yet underutilized component of IAM strategies, enabling identity verification, multi-factor and passwordless authentication, and even decentralized identity. 
  • Why the future of digital trust is so dependent on unifying PKI and IAM, and how doing so can streamline security operations, reduce risk, and eliminate trust gaps that leave enterprises vulnerable. 

PKI and IAM must work together—and only by uniting them can we build the trusted digital future our world demands.
