Market Share and Certificates Growth
There are nearly 91 million SSL certificates on the web today, said Dean Coclin, DigiCert’s senior director of business development. That’s up 1.8 million from February.
“DigiCert’s own share increased over 278,000 certificates last month,” he said. “Right now, we have 21 million certificates out there that are active and our own.”
Let’s Encrypt has the lion’s share of certificates, with more than half the market, Coclini said.
“That’s no surprise,” he said. “But DigiCert is actually in second place with the total number of certificates being issued out there with almost 23% of the market. Sectigo comes next and then everybody together.”
