The recognition highlights Digicert’s leadership in helping organisations modernise 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 centralised 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.

“The forces reshaping digital trust are amplifying an already complex challenge for organisations, with certificate outages continually making news headlines,” said Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer at Digicert. “As industry headwinds grow, certificate lifecycle management is critical to digital reliability, making the IDC Marketscape’s focus on this market in the first-of-its-kind report especially timely.”

“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 organisations begin operationalising 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.”
