Short-lived certificates 🤝 Short-lived sticker wall Just like our certificates, our sticker wall at Black Hat was meant to be short-lived. We kicked things off with a fully loaded wall of stickers and an open invite to sign it—knowing it would be short lived. Two days later, the wall was nearly bare and covered in signatures. Mission accomplished. ✅ Short-lived isn’t a flaw—it’s the point. In PKI, it means less risk and tighter security. Certificates that renew often are harder to steal, harder to misuse, and easier to rotate. In other words: more secure by design. The same idea works for conferences—make swag temporary, make it valuable, and make sure you’re there before it’s gone. 📸 Before ➡ After #BlackHat2025 #Smallstep #DeviceIdentity #ZeroTrust #ShortLivedCertificates #StickerWall #ConferenceLife

🍎 Some companies juggle priorities. We juggle apple (devices). Literally. How do you juggle managing all of your cross-platform devices—Macs, Windows, Linux—all needing secure, trusted access? At Smallstep, we make it simple with hardware-backed device identity that works across your entire fleet. From Secure Enclave on macOS to TPMs on Windows and Linux, we help you prove a device belongs before it gets access to anything that matters. 🔐 Real trust, built into the machine ⚡ Fast, automatic enrollment 🧰 Jamf + ACME Device Attestation = Mac identity that can’t be spoofed And yes, we’re also running theatre sessions, giving out swag, and juggling Apple squishballs at booth #5627. Why? Because an apple a day, keeps the hackers away! 😉 📍Come find us at Black Hat USA, booth #5627 #BlackHat2025 #Smallstep #DeviceIdentity #MacSecurity #CrossPlatformSecurity #ZeroTrust #CraigTheOpossum #SecureEnclave #AppleReady #Booth5627 #NotYourFathersPKI

🥂 A beautiful night with great people!🥂 Last night, we teamed up with our friends at Jamf to host a dinner at Del Frisco’s—and it couldn’t have gone better. Delicious food, great conversation, and a room full of folks who care deeply about securing devices the right way. We talked shop, swapped stories, and shared a few laughs over steak and french wines. The food was incredible—but let’s be honest, the real treat was the company. 💖 Thanks to everyone who came—it was truly a night to remember! 🌟 #Smallstep #Jamf #DeviceIdentity #CyberSecurity #ZeroTrust #DinnerWithAView #SecurityCommunity #PeopleOverPasswords

It’s time for Black Hat 2025! Visit the team at Booth 5627 in the Business Hall to learn about our new partnership with Jamf and all things device identity 🙌🏻

In exactly one week, join Smallstep at DEF CON💀! DEF CON is one of the most iconic, chaotic, and creative spaces in security—and we’re proud to be an official sponsor this year. We're here to dig into real device identity: hardware-bound, cryptographically provable, built on open standards, and ready to replace duct-taped PKI setups that should’ve retired a decade ago. And no, we’re not just here to talk about certificates, but... we’re also here to color. 🖍️ Join us for Color with Friends & Smallstep at the AppSec Village PODS! Take a break from the badge hacking and chaos and come chill with us. We’ll have crayons, stickers, possibly too many opossum-themed pages, and folks who love talking about device trust (or not talking at all—we respect a good quiet zone). 🗓️ Friday 1–3pm 🗓️ Saturday 11am–1pm 🗓️ Saturday 3–5pm No scanners. No pressure. Just a space to slow down, doodle something ridiculous, color a Craig inspired coloring page, and maybe ask us how we’re fixing device identity—without passwords, without guesswork, and without trusting whatever just showed up on your VPN. See you there! #DEFCON32 #Smallstep #ColorWithFriends #DeviceIdentity #CyberSecurity #ZeroTrust #CraigTheOpossum #ACMEDA #NotYourFathersPKI #ChillCon

🎩 Catch us next week at Black Hat USA — Booth #5627 This year, Smallstep is proud to sponsor Black Hat USA. But we’re not just here to show off our extravagant booth—we’re here to challenge assumptions, bury outdated protocols, and prove that device identity doesn’t have to be the weakest link in your stack. At our booth, we’ll be showcasing how hardware-backed, cryptographically provable identity is changing the way teams secure access to everything from SSH and Wi-Fi to SaaS apps and CI/CD pipelines. We’ll walk you through how it works—and how it fits into your stack today. But that’s not all. We’re bringing a few surprises. 😉 Throughout the conference, we’ll be hosting short, sharp, and slightly unhinged theatre sessions right at our booth. Titles include: 🔥 Ashes to Access: A Dumpster Fire Farewell to SCEP and AD CS 🌌 The Identity Menace: A Device Security Origin Story ❓ Mike's Way, special founder "Ask Me Anything" session 🔒 Hardware Backed Device Identity for corporate systems, a joint panel discussion with Jamf and the authors of Securing Cloud Native Apps …and more we’ll reveal onsite. So if you’re curious about how device trust actually gets enforced—without relying on MDM checkboxes, self-signed certs, or password-based provisioning—we’d love to chat more! #BlackHat2025 #Smallstep #DeviceIdentity #ZeroTrust #CyberSecurity #ACMEDA #NotYourFathersPKI #Booth5627 #TrustButVerifyLess
