Sectigo Announces Greater Than 30% Growth in the First Half of 2021

ROSELAND, N.J., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sectigo, a leading provider of digital certificates and automated certificate management solutions, today announced achievements and highlights for the first half of 2021, including YoY growth over 30 percent. Sectigo saw record demand for automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) capabilities and integrations to secure the development of new and emerging use cases for certificates in the enterprise.

"As businesses evolve to the new norms resulting from the pandemic, we've seen an equal evolvement in the types, amount, and sophistication of cyber threats.  In the first half of this year, we had record demand for our CLM platform to manage the number of certificates and keys being used to secure every device, user, and application across the enterprise," said Sectigo CEO Bill Holtz.  "Equally as important is a single solution for complete website security and ongoing protection, which we now have with SiteLock. Both platforms provide Sectigo a foundation for continued innovation and growth."

Acquisitions, Innovations, and Programs

• SiteLock: In May, Sectigo announced the acquisition of Sitelock, a leading provider of website security protection and monitoring. The transaction also included Patchman, a Netherlands-based provider of automated Content Management System (CMS) vulnerability scanning, and patching solutions. By acquiring SiteLock, Sectigo expanded its product capabilities, partner network, and reach to more than 16 million websites currently protected by Sitelock. The combined organization established a commanding market leadership position in web security. Global demand for advanced web security is at an all-time high, and this acquisition underscores the need for comprehensive solutions.
