Digital identities are at the heart of modern security architectures – and they no longer only affect people, but also machines, IoT devices, and applications. The challenge: traditional processes for onboarding, certificate management, and identity verification are error-prone, expensive, and no longer scalable.

Zero trust is considered the central security paradigm of the coming years. It requires continuous verification of every entity – regardless of whether it is a user, a device, or an application. However, for zero trust to work in practice, it needs a robust foundation: public key infrastructures (PKI).

The session shows how zero-touch onboarding turns this foundation into reality: devices and applications automatically receive their cryptographic identities without ...
