The modern internet operates on the implicit assumption that every secure connection can be trusted, but that entire foundation is only as strong as the Certificate Authorities signing the keys.
In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast ahead of Security Field Day 16, host Tom Hollingsworth joins delegates Kate Scarcella, Chris Hayner, and Jody Lemoine to break down the catastrophic fallout of insecure signing keys and the systemic flaws in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
The panel discusses the risks of weak entropy, the reality of certificate lifecycles in the era of ephemeral AI agents and IoT devices, and whether modern enterprise security must shift toward decentralized trust models.
