Frost & Sullivan has recognized DigiCert with the 2020 Global Company of the Year Award, based on its recent analysis of the SSL/TLS certificate market. DigiCert has become the market leader through its remarkable growth, supporting the adoption of new standards and continuously innovating with the industry's best and most modern public key infrastructure (PKI) technology. In addition to strength in the TLS/SSL market, the company has also focused on emerging security technologies, such as protecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices and developing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) implementations. By developing these technologies and helping to define standards to address new security use cases, the company is strengthening its leadership position within Internet security.
"By leveraging its superior technology, customizing it for regional markets, and building a world-class customer support system, DigiCert has captured the business of 89% of Fortune 500 companies and the world's most recognized brands," said Swetha Krishnamoorthi, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Additionally, DigiCert has successfully integrated the technological strengths of Symantec's former TLS and PKI business to provide an unparalleled product portfolio and scalability for partners and customers. DigiCert's certificates and management tools cover a wide range of business needs and use cases, ranging from standard TLS to specific compliance use cases, such as Google AMP and qualified certificates within the European Union, for both natural persons, legal entities, or web authentication (QWAC). The company also provides cloud-based code signing services, remote document signing, a wide range of encryption scenarios and IoT device authentication, secure remote access for enterprises, secure email, and much more."
DigiCert has updated its technological infrastructure as seen in this industry, with the goal of supporting large installations, region-focused implementations, and high-volume rapid solutions for the world's most important web platform companies. The company's agile product development process has enabled it to implement product changes and updates more quickly than competitors. This strategy has helped the company create the industry's first PQC (post-quantum computing) toolkit, which enables companies to create hybrid certificates for testing in their systems. DigiCert has actively committed to the development of industry standards, participating with regulatory bodies for the purpose of driving the creation and support of new standards and ensuring a secure Internet and IoT for consumers, including CA/Browser Forum, IETF, W3C, ASCX9, PCI Council, SAE, CableLabs, CI+, AeroMACS, WinnForum, Industrial Internet Consortium, APWG, and NIST NCCoE.
"With its multiple innovation approach, DigiCert has developed a hyperconverged agile infrastructure that delivers reliability, scalability, resilience, and faster response time for its customers," noted Swetha. "Its emphasis on user experience and a customer-oriented approach to product development will ensure its continued dominance in the digital certificate market for the long term."
