DigiCert was established in 2003 by Ken Bretschneider, CEO, and is currently the 5th largest public certificate authority in the world with customers such as Facebook and AOL.

DigiCert provides SSL certificates to over 40,000 customers in more than 115 countries. DigiCert SSL Certificates are issued under one of the oldest and most widely supported roots in the industry, which is trusted by virtually every browser in use today, as well as dozens of smart phones and handheld computing devices.

As one of the largest certificate providers in the world, certificates issued by DigiCert are trusted by all common browsers, mail clients, operating systems, and browsers.

DigiCert Inc is a privately held, US based X.509 SSL certificate provider. As a trusted third party, DigiCert verifies the authenticity of secure websites on behalf of a web browser for the purpose of preventing online phishing scams.

As a founding member of the CA/Browser Forum, DigiCert assisted in the development of the Extended Validation Certificate. DigiCert also worked in conjunction with Microsoft to develop and promote the use of subject alternate names in SSL certificates, for use with Microsoft Exchange Server.

DigiCert is the largest public CA that does not issue "domain validated," "low assurance," or "instant" SSL certificates either directly or through a subsidiary brand.

Why Is SSL Encryption So Important?

Many consumers are still wary about shopping online, and not without good reason: faulty security has led to hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers being shared publicly. Your customers know what it means when a site says it has a secure server. It means TRUST, and without it, they're not buying.

Have you ever purchased something online or entered personal data from a site that didn't assure you it was secure? Without the consumer confidence that comes from a verified seal and a secure server, a potential sale will be stopped dead in its tracks.
