Use and Risks of Self-Signed certificates

On-Demand Webinar

While most organizations need digital certificates, many administrators are reluctant to pay trusted 3rd-party organizations to generate them. Instead they deploy their own internal Certificate Authorities (CA), as a replacement for certificates from a trusted 3rd-party CA. Using your own self-signed certificates carries with it, its own risks as well as hidden costs. Join us on June 18th at 12pm EST to learn why organizations are turning to 3rd-parties to provide digital certificates for applications and servers.

In this session you will learn:

  • The risks of using self-signed certificates from other organizations

  • Scenarios where internally generated certificates are risky

  • Why organizations with internal Certificate Authorities need robust policies and procedures
