DigiCert, Inc., a global provider of digital trust, announced the accelerated adoption of its Digital Trust solutions as the company closed a total record of new bookings in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, as well as a record number of patents filed. Product innovation and key partnerships, along with the increasing demand for digital trust, were behind the strong customer demand.
As the need for digital trust continues to rise (from quantum computing and connected devices to content provenance), DigiCert has accelerated its position in the market, driven record bookings, strengthened its executive bench, expanded innovation, introduced new products to market, and gained respected industry recognition.
“While we experienced great momentum in fiscal year 2024, we are very excited about the opportunities for Digital Trust over the next 24 months as more and more organizations strive to be prepared for quantum technology, along with the growing need for reliable devices and content authenticity,” said Amit Sinha, CEO of DigiCert. “There is a crescendo of trust issues caused by the unintended consequences of innovation, and as a long-time provider of the foundation on which trust is built, DigiCert is well positioned to address these issues.”
