Modern Management Summit 2026

Secure Boot is a foundational platform security feature within UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) that ensures only trusted and verified code is allowed to be executed during the system boot process.The chain of trust during boot is established through Secure Boot certificates stored in the firmware trust database (DB), which are pre-installed by OEMs during device manufacturing.The current Secure Boot trust certificates used to validate Windows and third-party boot loaders are approaching expiration and must be updated to the new set of certificates released by Microsoft in 2023 to maintain platform integrity and ensure continued device security and update compliance.In this session —“Secure Boot Chain Update: What, How, You Are Already Late!” — we will cover:

• Why updating Secure Boot certificates is critical for maintaining device trust and servicing continuity
• How to monitor certificate update status and deployment status across your enterprise fleet
• Recommended approaches to safely update your devices
• Troubleshooting Secure Boot update issues
