Sectigo named G2 Winter 2026 grid leader in Certificate Lifecycle Management
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – December 10, 2025 – Sectigo, a global leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and digital certificates, today announced it has once again secured top honors in the G2 Winter 2026 Grid Reports. For the eleventh consecutive quarter – nearly three straight years – customer reviews and ratings have driven Sectigo to earn Leader status in both the CLM and SSL/TLS Certificate Tools categories
SSL/TLS certificate lifespans are set to drop from 398 days to 200 days on March 15, 2026, and to 47 days by 2029, creating major challenges for unprepared IT teams. With 96% of organizations reporting they are concerned about the impact of shorter certificate lifespans, those that delay automating certificate management will face twice the certificate renewal workload and twice the risk of outages and compliance failures. Customer trust in Sectigo reflects its leadership and proven ability to help businesses automate at scale, reduce risk, and stay ahead of these critical industry changes.
Sectigo earned the following six recognitions in G2’s Winter 2026 Grid Reports:
Certificate Lifecycle Management:
- Leader, Certificate Lifecycle Management
- Leader, Momentum
- Best Usability
SSL/TLS Certificate Tools:
- Leader, SSL/TLS
- Leader, Momentum
- Leader, Mid-Market SSL & TLS Certificates
“Recognition from G2 is especially meaningful because it’s driven by real customer feedback,” said Dena Bauckman, senior vice president of product at Sectigo. “In about 100 days, we are going to see certificate lifespans cut in half and as complexity grows, organizations need certificate management automation they can trust. These badges validate that Sectigo and our flagship CLM solution, Sectigo Certificate Manager, delivers the usability, scalability, and innovation our customers rely on to stay secure and ahead of industry change.”
As the internet evolves toward shorter certificate lifespans, enhanced automation, and quantum readiness, the voice of the customer speaks loudly: Sectigo is the leader they are looking for to help future-proof their operations.
