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, marking the culmination of the company's strategic acquisition of Entrust's public certificate business. This milestone represents the full transition of customers and partners from Entrust Certificate Services to Sectigo Certificate Manager, with more than half a million certificates spanning a double-digit product portfolio seamlessly transitioned to the new platform. The migration establishes a new benchmark for digital trust transitions and provides customers with a future-ready certificate lifecycle management platform designed for shrinking certificate lifespans and post-quantum cryptography readiness.

According to Sectigo's State of Crypto Agility Report, 96% of enterprises express concern about the impact of shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans on their business operations, with only 19% feeling very prepared to support monthly certificate renewals. The successful migration not only delivered a frictionless transition but also equipped every customer with a certificate lifecycle management system that mitigates outage risks, simplifies compliance requirements, and ensures organizational agility in facing emerging cryptographic challenges. Kevin Weiss, chief executive officer at Sectigo, emphasized that the company fulfilled its promise to Entrust customers by delivering a seamless migration that sets new industry standards for digital trust transitions.

The migration framework developed by Sectigo represented the largest customer and partner migration in certificate authority history, redefining industry standards for scale, speed, and precision. The comprehensive framework included in-app guided migration workflows for every customer and partner, extensive pre-validation automation that eliminated validation backlogs and enabled immediate certificate issuance, and real-time user provisioning with inventory synchronization across SSL, S/MIME, and code signing certificates. Additional features included custom field parity work, granular admin roles, licensing visibility enhancements, and parallel platform innovations such as Sectigo PQC Labs.

Mark Bilger, chief product and engineering officer at Sectigo, described the achievement as both a transformation exercise and a migration, noting that the company engineered a fully automated experience at unprecedented scale while delivering new capabilities that provide former Entrust customers with greater control, visibility, and agility than previously available. The Sectigo Certificate Manager platform operates as a cloud-native, certificate authority-agnostic certificate lifecycle management system that manages and automates every aspect of the certificate lifecycle from discovery and provisioning to revocation, replacement, and renewal across all certificate types. This enables organizations to scale seamlessly without compromising security or performance requirements.

Customer feedback confirmed the success of the migration initiative, with Brian Fisher, infrastructure team lead at Major Drilling Group International Inc., noting that immediate access to all certificates, workflows, and users was achieved post-migration, with full validation eliminating issuance wait times. Miguel Vaquera, cloud administrator at SCOR's Velogica, reported gaining full and immediate visibility and control over all certificates following the remarkably smooth migration process. Partner organizations also reported positive experiences, with Bruce Bulmer, manager of sales and marketing at DLS Technology Corporation, highlighting the invaluable support received during partner migration that now empowers them to meet client certificate lifecycle management and cybersecurity needs with confidence.
