If you want to add additional security to your customers, you can now do so on a per-order basis. We added a corresponding account-level setting, which allows you to change the default value for all ensuing orders in your account (i.e. to default to not reuse DCV, but only turn it ON for specific orders). Not all these changes are on our legacy Symantec partner platform but we are working on getting our CertCentral platform to where we want it to be – and we’re seeing great progress in that!

That is incorrect. DigiCert wants to make it clear that the certificates needed to be revoked because Trustico sent us the private keys; this has nothing to do with future potential distrust dates. The upcoming Chrome distrust situation is entirely separate.

There seems to be no end to the variety of products we can bring online. Accordingly, manufacturers often skip adding necessary security.

NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has embarked on a study to improve the security of these devices and strengthen the resiliency of businesses. The NCCoE aims to “improve the resilience of IoT devices against distributed attacks and expand the service availability characteristics of the Internet by mitigating the propagation of attacks across the network.” https://www.digicert.com/blog/nists-mitigating-iot-based-distributed-denial-of-service-studyFri, 26 Sep 2025 20:03:09 UTCAfter over a year of effort, Ballot SC3 was just unanimously passed by the CA/Browser Forum.

The regulations they are considering include mandating that all devices have identity, that devices prevent unauthorized access, and possibly in the field updates (or over the air (OTA)) remediation of issues. For manufacturers and device creators the risks have never been higher. The Mirai botnet attacks, in which millions of devices globally were breached and used in multiple Dedicated Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, demonstrated clearly that devices require security measures to prevent unauthorized access, only run the correct code, and when necessary be able to securely communicate and receive updates for critical issues. In addition, this must be done at scale globally, so that we give device consumers the confidence their data won’t be hacked or leaked, and devices commandeered for ill intent.https://www.digicert.com/blog/planning-for-japan-iot-security-regulation-changes-in-2020Mon, 22 Sep 2025 18:03:51 UTCPlesk, a DigiCert partner, makes SSL even easier with their extension--a one-click solution for enabling HTTPS. Watch the video.https://www.digicert.com/blog/plesk-extension-makes-ssl-easier-hosting-webThu, 25 Sep 2025 17:50:58 UTCThe standards for EV certificates were developed in 2007, and although there have been several updates, there haven’t been any major changes until recently. It’s rare for a security standard to remain relatively unchanged for such a long time, especially as threats continue to evolve. Recently, DigiCert came up with a set of improvements to enhance EV certificates. DigiCert and several other Certificate Authorities reviewed that list of enhancements and settled on four standards which all agreed would have not only a positive impact on EV but also a fair chance of passing a CA/B Forum ballot. The four ideas agreed to discuss in the forum are: Require that the CA check the certificate type in the CAA record and respect a CAA policy regarding certificate type prior to issuing. This would mandate that the CA check the CAA record prior to issuance and, for example, if the requestor’s CAA record said they only want EV, the CA could not issue any other type of certificate for that domain. Include Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) in certificates. LEIs are globally unique registration numbers created under a scheme supervised by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF). Added to EV certificates, they provide a very strong form of identity for global organizations, which can be validated on the GLEIF website. Develop a white list of approved data sources to validate EV certificates. Currently, CAs are free to choose whatever authentication source meets the CA/B Forum guidelines. Not all data sources are created equal.
