DigiCert posts record Q4 growth driven by digital trust demand

DigiCert has reported record financial growth for the fourth quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, citing increased demand for integrated digital trust and quantum-ready security solutions.

The company said it closed Q4 at 104% of its target for net new annual contract value (NNACV), a result 25% higher than any previous quarter in its history. DigiCert indicated that it surpassed expectations for the entire second half of the fiscal year, achieving 102% of its total annual contract value plan.

Chief Executive Officer Amit Sinha said, "Our record results highlight the increasing need for digital trust in a rapidly evolving security landscape. Organisations worldwide are embracing our DigiCert ONE platform to centralise and simplify digital trust management. By securing the entire digital footprint—from authentication and encryption to DNS—our solutions help enterprises reduce risk, eliminate outages, and improve operational efficiency."

Between January 2024 and February 2025, DigiCert reported a 67% rise in customers purchasing both a certificate and at least one DigiCert ONE solution, which the company said demonstrates growing demand for integrated, end-to-end platforms.

DigiCert's business expansion during the fiscal year included the acquisition of Vercara, a move aimed at bolstering its digital trust capabilities and adding UltraDNS to its offerings. According to the company, this strengthens its position in providing security solutions to enterprises globally.

The company also expanded its leadership team, appointing Lakshmi Hanspal as Chief Trust Officer and Atri Chatterjee as Chief Marketing Officer. In addition, Dr. Taher Elgamal, known as the "father of SSL", joined DigiCert as a strategic advisor.

Sinha added, "Our record results highlight the increasing need for digital trust in a rapidly evolving security landscape. Organisations worldwide are embracing our DigiCert ONE platform to centralise and simplify digital trust management. By securing the entire digital footprint—from authentication and encryption to DNS—our solutions help enterprises reduce risk, eliminate outages, and improve operational efficiency."

DigiCert supported the advancement of post-quantum security through its inaugural World Quantum Readiness Day, an event focused on driving awareness and action for quantum-safe preparedness. The event drew nearly 4,000 registrants, including experts such as Dr. Peter Shor, Dr. Taher Elgamal, Dr. Bob Sutor, and representatives from Google, Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Cisco, and NIST.

In terms of product development, DigiCert said it prioritised innovation through its new DigiCert ONE platform. Throughout FY2025, the company filed 81 patent applications, including nine specific to artificial intelligence and machine learning, 10 related to post-quantum cryptography, and four in the area of content authentication.

During the year, the company also introduced DigiCert Device Trust Manager, a platform that provides IoT manufacturers with security management throughout the lifecycle of connected devices. DigiCert cited industry reports projecting the number of connected devices to reach 56 billion, highlighting the need for secure provisioning, compliance management, and risk mitigation. The Device Trust Manager is designed to deliver automated provisioning, end-to-end visibility, and real-time monitoring for connected devices.

Additionally, DigiCert announced the availability of Common Mark Certificates (CMCs) to help organisations display verifiable indicators of digital trust. The company stated that it is currently the only provider offering both Common Mark Certificates and Verified Mark Certificates, addressing compliance requirements and reputation protection for enterprises operating online.
