Do you need to update Secure Boot certificates across your organization before they start expiring in June 2026? Two events next week can help you with best practices and answers to your questions in real time.
When will this happen
On March 9 at 7:30 AM PT (2:30 PM UTC) is Secure Boot certificate updates explained. This will be a fast-paced walkthrough of essential guidance – including how to test firmware, monitor device readiness, deploy updated certificates, and diagnose issues. Then, on March 12 at 8:00 AM PT (3:00 PM UTC), you can ask any questions you might have at the Secure Boot AMA. Members of the engineering team will be on camera and in the comments working to help with answers.
What you need to do to prepare
Both events will take place on the Tech Community. Registration is not required, but you will need to sign in to the Tech Community with a Microsoft account in order to participate in the Q&A. Questions can be posted in advance or during the live streams. Visit the session pages for the option to “Add to calendar” and click “Attend” to receive event reminders.
