The State of PKI Security
See the top PKI security trends for 2026: certificate sprawl, outages, compliance confidence, and what high-performing teams do differently.
“PKI security is under pressure from complexity, manual processes, and resource constraints—transforming PKI from a foundation of trust into a growing source of operational and security risk.” — Ponemon Institute, Trends in PKI Security: A Global Study, 2026
Public key infrastructure (PKI) underpins secure access, encryption, and machine-to-machine trust. But as certificate volume grows and environments become more distributed, many organizations are struggling to keep PKI reliable, compliant, and resilient.
This infographic highlights key findings from a global study of 1,800+ IT and security professionals, including why confidence is low, where outages are coming from, and how leading teams are modernizing to reduce operational risk.
