Why Legacy PKI Is Broken, And How to Fix It

January 19, 2026

PKI was built for long-lived certificates and static infrastructure—but modern environments demand speed, automation, and elastic scale. This whitepaper explains why legacy PKI is breaking under today’s operating conditions and what it takes to modernize without increasing complexity. 

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize the most common failure patterns in legacy PKI (and why manual PKI fails predictably)
  • Quantify the real cost drivers behind “low-cost” PKI—from infrastructure to staffing and audit response
  • Explore a modern, policy-driven approach to issuance and automation designed for resilience and change
  • Review a reference architecture and end-to-end certificate flow built for hybrid environments

Download the whitepaper to evaluate your current PKI operating model and map a practical path toward scalable, automated certificate issuance. 

Who should read this

  • CISOs and security leaders accountable for outage risk, audit exposure, and machine identity governance
  • IAM and PKI owners managing certificate sprawl, CA growth, and operational fragility
  • Security architects designing modern identity, Zero Trust, and crypto-agile strategies
  • DevOps and platform teams supporting cloud-native workloads, automation, and short-lived certificates
  • Risk, compliance, and audit stakeholders who need stronger PKI visibility, controls, and proof of readiness
