The recognition highlights DigiCert’s leadership in helping organizations modernize PKI and automate certificate lifecycle operations as certificate validity periods continue to shorten and machine identities proliferate across complex hybrid and cloud environments. DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager provides centralized discovery, policy-based governance, and end-to-end automation for certificates and cryptographic assets across public and private CAs, helping customers reduce outages, address compliance risk, and lower operational overhead.
According to the report, DigiCert was recognized for the following strengths:
DigiCert TLM can be delivered via managed service, extending reach to customers of different sizes and geographies that want CLM automation and support from trusted partners.
DigiCert TLM offers automation to support smaller teams managing high certificate volumes. One customer reported that large portions of its device and user certificate operations are able to run automatically and require minimal effort to operate.
Another customer replaced its in-house PKI for DigiCert TLM SaaS to manage S/MIME, private TLS, and public TLS across a complex hybrid environment. This customer noted significant cost benefits of relying on the platform for CLM activities
“The certificate lifecycle management market is at a clear inflection point,” said IDC Analyst, Jennifer Glenn. “Certificate-related outages already have far-reaching impacts across applications, supply chains, and digital services – and that risk will only intensify as certificate lifespans continue to shorten and organizations begin operationalizing post-quantum cryptography. In response, IDC published its first Certificate Lifecycle Management IDC MarketScape to reflect the growing criticality of this market and to give organizations a clear, structured view of how vendors are addressing automation, scale, and cryptographic change in what has become a global digital trust challenge.”
DigiCert’s recent integrations with Citrix NetScaler and F5 reflect growing demand for automated certificate management as organizations prepare for shortened certificate lifespan mandates, increasing compliance requirements, and the transition to post-quantum cryptography.
