Sectigo Overhauls Brand to Simplify Certificate Lifecycle Management
Event summary

The company is positioning itself as a standard-setter in CLM automation, aiming to reduce hidden risks in distributed environments. With over 700,000 customers, including 65% of the Fortune 500, Sectigo's strategic shift could reshape how enterprises manage digital certificates at scale.
