Richard Hicks on 47-Day Certificates, ACME, and Post-Quantum PKI

Public TLS certificates are getting dramatically shorter lifetimes, with the industry moving toward 47-day certificates. For organizations still managing certificates manually, that change could have major implications.In this episode, Richard Hicks joins us to discuss why short-lived certificates are becoming the norm, the challenges of certificate revocation, and why automation is quickly becoming a requirement rather than a best practice.We also explore the future of PKI, including post-quantum cryptography, crypto agility, ACME, Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS), Intune certificate deployment, TPM-protected credentials, smart cards, and enterprise certificate lifecycle management.Topics include:• Why 47-day certificates are coming• The real reason certificate revocation struggles• ACME and certificate automation• Public vs. private PKI• Enterprise certificate management best practices• TPM-protected certificates and credential security• Intune certificate deployment• The future of ADCS• Post-quantum cryptography and crypto agility• Building a modern PKI strategyWhether you're an IT administrator, security architect, PKI engineer, or Microsoft professional, this conversation provides practical insight into where certificate management is headed and how to prepare for the changes ahead.Guest: Richard Hicks
