CyberArk Software Ltd. has released a new global study conducted by the Ponemon Institute analyzing trends, challenges, and business impacts in public key infrastructure (PKI) security. The research, based on responses from nearly 2,000 IT and security professionals, highlights that outdated PKI systems are a significant barrier to secure certificate management, with 60% of organizations experiencing security exploits and 56% reporting service disruptions due to legacy PKI. The report also reveals that 58% of organizations suffered third-party certificate authority compromises, and 43% experienced server private key theft. The findings underscore the urgent need for organizations to modernize and automate their PKI systems, as unified visibility and automation are linked to reduced operational burdens, fewer outages, and improved compliance. Confidence in current PKI effectiveness and compliance remains low, with less than half of respondents certain in their systems' ability to thwart cyberattacks or meet regulatory requirements. The study suggests that adopting AI and unified certificate management can help organizations address these challenges and strengthen their security posture.
