## Summary

Ellen Boehm, SVP of IoT at Keyfactor, discusses the critical role of digital certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI) in securing IoT devices, particularly in high-stakes industries like medical and automotive. She explains how Keyfactor helps OEMs manage certificate lifecycles at scale to prevent field failures and prepare for post-quantum cryptography threats. The conversation also covers the challenges of integrating enterprise security solutions with open-source foundations and the emerging need for OT security in industrial automation.
