AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/HIDGlobal?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#HIDGloballt;/agt;–HID Global^®, a worldwide leader in trusted identity
solutions, today announced that its IdenTrust^® business was
named the number one certification authority in the world for
the second year in a row, according to the latest independent
research results from W3Techs, a technology survey company that
consistently tracks the SSL certificate market.

As the market leader for digital certificates, IdenTrust is now used by
31.1% of all websites, more than doubling its user base since 2018.
IdenTrust digital certificates support real-time validation of Internet
traffic on a scalable, software-as-a-service platform. IdenTrust helps
create a trusted environment that secures business-critical and
life-critical data.

HID’s IdenTrust digital certificates are widely recognized by government
agencies, global financial institutions and enterprise corporations
around the world. IdenTrust products enable organizations to effectively
manage the risks associated with identity authentication and ensure
trust in the identity of a person or a thing.

“HID’s IdenTrust digital certificates once again prove to be the most
trusted in the world,” said Brad Jarvis, Vice President and Managing
Director, IAM Solutions with HID Global. “Continuing the solid
growth of our IdenTrust user base, HID Global provides digital
certificate services from a secure and scalable platform, as part of the
widest range of authentication solutions in the industry.”

When IdenTrust digital certificates are combined with HID’s identity &
access management platform, the company is able to scale to the
requirements of the industry’s most challenging environments, such as
certificate-based authentication for complex enterprise data protection
and for the protection of billions of connections.

In addition, IdenTrust digital certificates are particularly useful for
surveillance (cameras, video management), transportation infrastructure
(air, cars and trains), healthcare (medical devices) and financial
services (ATMs) end-points. The rapid expansion of the Internet of
Things (IoT) as well as mobile applications is also driving the
increased adoption of digital certificates.
