Sectigo Completes Largest Public Certificate Migration in Industry History

Sectigo announced the successful completion of the largest and most technically sophisticated migration of public certificate infrastructure in industry history. This milestone marks the culmination of Sectigo's strategic acquisition of Entrust's public certificate business and the full transition of customers and partners from Entrust Certificate Services to Sectigo Certificate Manager. More than half a million certificates spanning a double-digit product portfolio were seamlessly transitioned to SCM, an unprecedented engineering achievement that equips customers with a future-ready Certificate Lifecycle Management platform built for shrinking certificate lifespans and post-quantum cryptography readiness.

According to Sectigo's State of Crypto Agility Report, 96% of enterprises are concerned about the impact of shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans on their business, and only 19% feel very prepared to support monthly certificate renewals. Sectigo has not only delivered a frictionless transition but also empowered every customer with a CLM that mitigates outage risks, simplifies compliance, and ensures agility in the face of emerging cryptographic challenges.

Kevin Weiss, chief executive officer at Sectigo, stated that the company made a promise to Entrust customers that Sectigo would deliver a seamless migration and has delivered on that promise. This migration sets a new benchmark for digital trust transitions and was made possible by the extraordinary work of engineering, sales, and support teams who ensured customers felt confident every step of the way. The positive feedback received confirms that Sectigo has exceeded expectations.

Sectigo's automated migration framework powered the largest customer and partner migration in certificate authority history, redefining the industry standard for scale, speed and precision. The migration framework included in-app, guided migration workflows for every customer and partner, extensive pre-validation automation eliminating validation backlogs and enabling immediate certificate issuance, real-time user provisioning and inventory synchronization of SSL, S/MIME and code signing certificates, custom feature parity work including custom fields, granular admin roles and licensing visibility, parallel platform innovations including Sectigo PQC Labs, and seamless partner migration into a single pane of glass solution with the launch of Sectigo Partner Platform.

Mark Bilger, chief product and engineering officer at Sectigo, described the milestone as both a transformation exercise and a migration. The company engineered a fully automated experience at unprecedented scale while delivering new capabilities that give former Entrust customers greater control, visibility and agility than ever before. Built as a cloud-native, CA-agnostic CLM platform, SCM manages and automates every aspect of the certificate lifecycle, from discovery and provisioning to revocation, replacement, and renewal, across all types of certificates. The platform enables organizations to scale seamlessly without compromising security or performance.

Customer testimonials highlight the immediate benefits of the migration. Brian Fisher, infrastructure team lead at Major Drilling Group International Inc., noted that after migrating to Sectigo Certificate Manager, they had complete and immediate access to all certificates, workflows, and users with full validation that removed any wait time for issuance. Miguel Vaquera, cloud administrator at SCOR's Velogica, reported gaining full and immediate visibility and control over all certificates with a remarkably smooth migration. Bruce Bulmer, manager of sales and marketing at DLS Technology Corporation, emphasized the invaluable support received during partner migration, noting that their partnership with Sectigo now empowers them to meet clients' certificate lifecycle management and cybersecurity needs with confidence.
