Is your organization using weak keys? Organizations using weak keys or vulnerable web servers are easy targets for hackers. However strange it might sound, there are currently more at-risk websites than attackers who can take advantage of such vulnerabilities. However, does that mean that you are not at risk? The first step to ward off such vulnerability is to have an updated public key infrastructure (PKI). You need to keep your PKI up to date to evade such attacks because mitigation is always cheaper than remediation. That is why successful PKI updates are more important than ever.
Manually managing certificate lifecycles is slow, error-prone, and highly inefficient. With hundreds of thousands of certificates in circulation, administrators cannot rely on manual management techniques to ensure that PKI is constantly secure and up-to-date.
Enterprises need to update cryptographic assets, ciphers, and protocols to new standards as and when required to keep their systems and communications secure. Using older protocol versions and algorithms renders networks vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data breaches. Automation helps enable cryptographic agility - digital identities can stay on top of protocol and algorithm upgrades to offer the best possible protection under all circumstances.
If you are exploring options to modernize your PKI, do not miss tuning into the webinar on “Simplify and Modernize your PKI.” Join Murali Palanisamy, Chief Solutions Officer of AppViewX and learn about some best practices for a next-gen PKI solution that should be:
- scalable
- crypto-agile
- compatible with cybersecurity tools
- flexible enough to adapt to infrastructure changes
