Sectigo Doubles Enterprise Operations with Entrust Acquisition

Sectigo, a leader in digital certificates and certificate lifecycle management, has acquired the public certificate business of Entrust. This strategic acquisition doubles Sectigo's enterprise operations and positions it as a leader in digital security solutions. The acquisition allows Sectigo to expand its reach in the enterprise market and enhance its capabilities in certificate lifecycle management.

The acquisition significantly enlarges Sectigo’s addressable market and strengthens its vision of becoming a trustworthy partner for digital infrastructure protection. Additionally, GI Partners, the major shareholder of Sectigo, sees this acquisition as a crucial growth opportunity, positioning Sectigo for future expansion in a market projected to exceed $8 billion by 2029. The financial terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed.
