History[edit]

CyberTrust was founded as a subsidiary of GTE Corporation's Government Systems Information Security Directorate. It focused on security services for electronic commerce. These included authentication, privacy, integrity and non-repudiation using Public Key Encryption technology. In 2000, GTE sold CyberTrust to Ireland-based security company Baltimore Technologies for $150 million.[1] In 2003, Baltimore Technologies divested its operating companies, including all digital certificate operations to BeTrusted Holdings, Inc. A year later in September 2004, BeTrusted announced its intention to merge with former competitor TruSecure Corporation and in November the resulting company was incorporated in Virginia as CyberTrust. Verizon Business then acquired Cybertrust in 2007,[2] reuniting it with its former parent (Verizon was created by the merger of GTE and Bell Atlantic). Financial terms were not disclosed.[citation needed] In 2015, the CyberTrust root certificates were acquired by DigiCert, Inc., a leading global Certificate Authority (CA) and provider of trusted identity and authentication services. The financial terms were not disclosed.[3]

Cybertrust used its majority shareholding to dilute the remaining Ubizen shares, forcing it to acquire the remaining shares and delist Ubizen in 2005.

Betrusted was originally created by PWC and sold to One Equity Partners, a division of Bank 1. One Equity Partners also purchased 90 East and SecureNet (who bought the PKI component of Baltimore and the gateway operations of iSecure).

Present[edit]

The acquisition of the CyberTrust root certificates makes DigiCert the second-largest Certificate Authority (CA) for high-assurance SSL Certificates. As part of the deal, DigiCert will assume management of the CyberTrust/Verizon trusted roots and intermediate certificates. Verizon will continue to offer SSL Certificates as a reseller of DigiCert.[4]

Pursuant to DigiCert's acquiring Verizon Enterprise SSL business, DigiCert announce its partnership with Cybertrust Japan to expand its market presence in Asia.[5] Under this new partnership, DigiCert and Cybertrust Japan also announce Cyber Secure Asia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cybertrust Japan, which will market DigiCert's certificate technology to Southeast Asia from a regional headquarters in Singapore.

DigiCert, Inc. is a US-based technology company focused on digital security and headquartered in Lehi, Utah with international offices in Australia, Ireland, Japan, India, South Africa, Switzerland and United Kingdom. As a certificate authority (CA) and trusted third party, DigiCert provides the public key infrastructure (PKI) and validation required for issuing digital certificates or TLS/SSL certificates. These certificates are used to verify and authenticate the identities of organizations and domains and to protect the privacy and data integrity of users’ digital interactions with web browsers, email clients, documents, software programs, apps, networks and connected IoT devices.

The company’s products and services also include private and managed PKI deployments, the DigiCert CertCentral certificate management platform, the DigiCert PKI Platform and full customer support.

In 2019, the company announced a new R&D division called DigiCert Labs, “... an initiative dedicated to researching and developing innovative approaches to security challenges.”[1] DigiCert Labs will collaborate with other enterprise labs — including Microsoft Research, Utimaco, ISARA and Gemalto — and make grants to universities for the study of topics related to authentication, data integrity, encryption and identity. Initial research projects will focus on post-quantum cryptography and machine learning.[2]

DigiCert is a member of the CA/Browser Forum, an industry consortium that creates guidelines and standards for participating certificate authorities and web browsers.[3] Dean Coclin, Sr. Director of Business Development at DigiCert, will serve as Vice-Chairperson of the CA/Browser Forum from Nov. 1, 2018 until Oct. 31, 2020.[4]

On August 28, 2015, in one of the largest investments in a Utah-based company to date, private equity firm Thoma Bravo acquired a majority stake in DigiCert, with TA Associates a leading global growth private equity firm, holding a minority share. Thoma Bravo was quoted as saying, “DigiCert represents an outstanding investment opportunity to back a market leader… known for its consistent innovation and first-rate customer service.” [5]

In 2019, Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., a leading private investment firm, and TA Associates, an existing investor, reached an agreement to make a strategic growth investment in DigiCert. As part of the transaction, Clearlake and TA Associates become equal partners in the company.[6][7]

History[edit]

DigiCert was founded by Ken Bretschneider in 2003. Bretschneider served as CEO and Chairman of the Board until 2012 when he was appointed Executive Chairman and Nicholas Hales became CEO.[11] In 2016, the company named John Merrill CEO.[12]

In 2015, DigiCert acquired the CyberTrust Enterprise SSL business from Verizon Enterprise Solutions, becoming the world’s second-largest certificate authority for high-assurance or extended validation (EV) TLS/SSL certificates.[13]

In 2017, DigiCert acquired the TLS/SSL and PKI businesses from the world’s largest certificate authority, Symantec (including brands GeoTrust, RapidSSL, Thawte and VeriSign), for $950 million.[14] The acquisition resulted from questions first raised in 2015 by web browsers Google and Mozilla about the authenticity of certificates issued by Symantec, which represented one-third of all TLS/SSL certificates on the web.[15][16] In Sep. 2017, Google and Mozilla announced they would “... reduce, and ultimately remove, trust in Symantec’s infrastructure in order to uphold users’ security and privacy when browsing the web.” The final distrust deadline for certificates chaining to Symantec roots was set for Oct. 2018.[17] Symantec agreed to transfer its certificate business to its top TLS/SSL competitor, DigiCert, whose roots were trusted by browsers.[18] In Dec. 2017, DigiCert began issuing free replacements for all distrusted certificates from Symantec, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, Thawte and VeriSign. By Oct. 2018, the company had revalidated more than 550,000 organizational identities and issued more than 5 million replacement certificates for affected customers.[19]

In 2018, DigiCert acquired QuoVadis, a trust service provider (TSP) headquartered in Switzerland offering qualified digital certificates, PKI services and PrimoSign electronic signature software. Qualified digital certificates from QuoVadis (now backed by DigiCert) comply with eIDAS, a set of EU standards for electronic transactions requiring legal proof of authentication. The EU Payment Services Directive mandates that banks and other financial institutions operating in Europe begin using qualified digital certificates by Jun. 2019. According to DigiCert, “... the QuoVadis acquisition aligns with the company’s vision of providing globally dispersed and robust PKI-based solutions with local support.”[20]
