Your PKI is probably broken right now, and you don’t know it. The three most common enterprise PKI failures—expired CA certificates, stale CRLs, and unreachable distribution points—are all silent until something critical stops working. VPN drops. Smart card logon fails. A web portal throws certificate errors. The help desk gets flooded. And the team that finally diagnoses the root cause discovers a CA certificate that expired six hours ago, or a CRL that hasn’t been published in two weeks.

This 20-minute session gives you a five-step PKI health check you can run in under five minutes using tools already on your CA server. No third-party software. No complex scripting. Just five commands and one MMC snap-in that tell you whether your PKI is healthy or about to ruin your Monday morning. You’ll leave with a repeatable checklist, the specific certutil commands to run, and a clear understanding of what each result means and what to do when it’s red instead of green.

You will learn:

• A five-step, five-minute PKI health assessment using built-in Windows tools that attendees can run the Monday after the conference
• Understanding why PKI failures are uniquely dangerous
• A practical monitoring strategy for CRL expiration and CA certificate lifecycle that converts reactive incident response into proactive scheduled maintenance
