At its annual Security Summit, DigiCert, Inc., the provider of digital trust, along with top security industry pundits, addressed the role of digital trust in enabling individuals and businesses to successfully operate in a connected world challenged by growing cybersecurity threats.

The company outlined its vision for cybersecurity and how it will evolve as digital transformation continues to expand the surface area of where and how the world engages online.

Securing digital footprint

DigiCert is delivering comprehensive digital trust for its customers with leadership in industry standards, operations, and compliance, as well as a platform for trust management that enables customers to secure their digital footprint,” said DigiCert Executive Vice President Deepika Chauhan.

Digital trust is the foundation for securing the connected world,” said Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for IDC.

Identity, integrity, and encryption

DigiCert Security Summit included commentary from company leaders as well as some of the minds in cybersecurity

Identity, integrity, and encryption are essential building blocks for organizations looking to instill confidence among their customers, employees, and partners that online business processes and interactions are secure.”

The DigiCert Security Summit included commentary from company leaders as well as some of the independent minds in cybersecurity, such as Graham Cluley, Adam Savage, Wolfgang Goerlich, Brian Honan, and Pablos Holman, addressing global trends including:

  • Acceleration of remote work and digital transformation: Deloitte reported that 77% of CEOs say the pandemic has accelerated their plans for digital transformation. Yet Gartner reports that 53% of organizations surveyed remain untested and uncertain in their digital transformation readiness. Companies are adopting zero-trust networks for secure remote access.
  • Heightened cyberattacks on critical infrastructure: Attacks on critical infrastructures, such as Colonial Pipeline and SolarWinds, have led to heightened focus from industry and governments on the need for digital trust for connected ecosystems.
  • Rapidly expanding attack surfaces: In 2021, the FBI reported an unprecedented increase in cyberattacks and malicious cyber activity in America, with ransomware and business email compromise as two of the top threats. Public and private trust management is essential.
