On Demand: SSL Disaster Recovery :: Responding to DigiNotar and Other CA Breaches

Have you heard the news? The Dutch government had to halt electronic access to critical government services because their certificate authority, DigiNotar, was compromised. What will you do if your CA is next? How long can you afford to be down?

With DigiNotar joining the ranks of Comodo, StartSSL and RSA as the latest, hacked trusted third-parties, enterprises and government agencies need to realize that SSL must be properly managed and begin formulating PKI disaster recovery and business continuity plans.

Organizations must have an actionable and comprehensive plan in place to recover from a CA compromise, where the time to restore critical services should be measured in hours. Due to lack of preparation and largely manual processes, recovery for most organizations will take days or weeks while the thousands or tens of thousands of compromised SSL certificates are manually located, accounted for and replaced.

There are very specific steps organizations must take to deal with a compromised CA. Join Venafi CEO Jeff Hudson and Paul Turner, VP product and customer solutions on Thursday, September 15 at 4:00 pm GMT / 11:00 am EDT / 8:00 am PDT to better understand the risks and learn best-practices to prepare for and recover from a CA compromise.
