PKI Under Pressure: What Ponemon’s New Global Research Reveals for 2026

February 4, 2026

Public Key Infrastructure is becoming one of the most expensive hidden drains on security teams. The Ponemon Institute’s new global research reveals that 34% of organizations cite legacy PKI cost and risk as their top barrier, while 53% still rely on manual or ad-hoc tools to assess PKI security—driving outages, inconsistencies, and rising operational effort. This webinar breaks down what these trends mean and how leaders can turn the findings into a modernization plan that reduces cost and risk. 

CyberArk’s Florin Lazurca and Ponemon Senior Fellow Michael Fitzpatrick will unpack the research and outline practical steps for eliminating manual burden, improving governance, and preparing for accelerating certificate growth and cryptographic change. You’ll gain a clear roadmap for prioritizing PKI modernization in 2026. 

Key Takeaways:

  • The hidden cost drivers behind legacy PKI—from staffing shortages to manual assessment gaps. 
  • How to identify and quantify operational waste inside your PKI program. 
  • What high-performing organizations do differently to achieve consistent policy enforcement and scaled visibility. 
  • The essential first moves for modernizing PKI architecture, governance, and certificate lifecycle automation. 

Join us to learn how to turn new industry data into a cost-efficient, resilient PKI strategy that strengthens security while reducing operational burden.
