We are pleased to announce that Richard Hall, Assistant Vice President of Technical Sales at DigiCert, will be joining us at Nordic Domain Days 2026.

Rich brings over 25 years of experience in the PKI and digital security industry. His career has taken him through senior positions at Baltimore Technologies, CyberTrust, TC TrustCenter, and Symantec, spanning sales engineering, product management, and customer success. That breadth of experience gives him a rare ability to bridge the gap between deep technical expertise and real-world business needs.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, Rich holds a master's degree in Information Systems Engineering from Northeastern University in Boston and is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

At NDD, Rich will co-present with Excedo Networks' Philip Batic in our Tech! segment on Tuesday. Their session, "From Certificate Chaos to Crypto-Agility: Are You Ready for What's Next in PKI (2026-2029)?", tackles one of the biggest hidden risks in IT today: fragmented certificate management in a world of shrinking lifecycles and approaching post-quantum cryptography.

Expect practical insights on gaining full visibility over your certificate landscape, why manual processes will not scale, what crypto-agility really looks like, and how to prepare your PKI for what comes next. The session is a joint effort between DigiCert and Excedo Networks, both long-standing partners of Nordic Domain Days.

Rich and Philip will also deliver a Masterclass in Crypto Agility later on Tuesday, giving attendees a hands-on deep dive into designing systems that can transition between cryptographic standards without disruption.

If certificates, trust lifecycles, or post-quantum preparedness are on your radar, these are two sessions you will not want to miss.
