DigiCert has acquired Valimail, a zero trust SaaS email authentication offering. With more than 92,000 clients worldwide, up 70% this past year, Valimail is a leader in protecting organisations from phishing, spoofing, and domain-based threats.
The acquisition advances DigiCert’s strategy of delivering end-to-end digital trust. Valimail will be added to the DigiCert ONE platform that already brings together public CA, private PKI, certificate lifecycle management, and DNS, to give customers a unified view of digital trust.
Valimail is a pioneer in Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC). The company protects global brands, enterprises, and government agencies, and holds a robust portfolio of DMARC-related patents. Valimail says it is also the only DMARC provider with FedRAMP authorisation, underscoring its leadership in highly regulated environments.
DigiCert is a leading global provider of Mark Certificates (MCs) and Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs), which enable organisations to display verified brand logos in customer inboxes. When combined with DMARC, VMCs power BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification), allowing users to instantly recognise trusted emails.
This not only helps prevent phishing but also reinforces brand identity with visual trust indicators such as the blue check mark alongside the sender’s name. By bringing together DMARC enforcement, VMCs, and DigiCert’s digital trust market presence, “organisations can deliver a safer and more trustworthy email experience for their customers”, said DigiCert.
Amit Sinha, DigiCert CEO, said: "Our strategy has always been to expand our platform's capabilities with technologies that solve emerging threats for customers, and we believe that email authentication is the next logical step for DigiCert ONE.”
