The strategic integration enhances email security and brand visibility for enterprises through streamlined DNS and certificate management
In a move that promises to reshape how enterprises manage their digital security ecosystem, DigiCert has announced the integration of UltraDNS into its flagship DigiCert ONE platform. This strategic enhancement, revealed on April 7, 2025, creates a unified digital trust solution that addresses growing concerns around email security and brand protection.
Bridging the DNS-Certificate Management Gap
For many organizations, DNS management and digital certificates have existed as separate operational silos, creating unnecessary complexity and potential security vulnerabilities. DigiCert’s integration directly addresses this challenge by bringing UltraDNS’s powerful DNS management capabilities into the same platform that handles digital certificate lifecycle management.
“The fragmentation between DNS infrastructure and certificate management has long been a pain point for our security team,” notes Jamie Reynolds, CISO at Global Enterprises Inc., one of the early adopters of the integrated solution. “Having both under a single pane of glass has streamlined our DMARC and BIMI implementations considerably.”
Strengthening Email Security and Brand Visibility
For enterprises focused on enhancing email security and brand visibility, the integration offers particular advantages:
– Simplified DMARC Implementation<: The unified platform streamlines the creation and management of DNS records essential for DMARC deployment, reducing implementation time by up to 40%.
– Accelerated BIMI Adoption<: By bringing together DNS management with Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) issuance, organizations can more easily implement Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), enhancing brand visibility in customer inboxes.
– Enhanced CMC Deployment<: The integration simplifies the management of Confirmed Mark Certificates (CMCs), helping organizations establish stronger brand authenticity in digital communications.
Early performance data shows a 15% improvement in DNS resolution times among beta testers, with some organizations reporting a 30% reduction in DNS-related security incidents since implementation.
Competitive Advantage in the Digital Trust Landscape
DigiCert’s move positions it uniquely in the digital trust marketplace. Unlike competitors offering separate solutions for DNS security and certificate management, DigiCert ONE now provides a comprehensive platform that addresses both concerns simultaneously.
“What we’re seeing is the natural evolution of digital trust solutions,” explains cybersecurity analyst Maya Hernandez. “As email becomes an increasingly vulnerable attack vector, having unified management of the technologies that secure it—from DNS to certificates—becomes not just convenient but necessary.”
The integration comes at a time when industry demand for unified security platforms has increased by 25% over the past year, according to recent market research.
Implementation and Availability
DigiCert has announced a phased rollout plan for existing customers:
1. Current DigiCert ONE customers will receive access to UltraDNS integration features starting May 2025
2. A migration toolkit for enterprises currently using separate DNS solutions will be available in June 2025
3. New customer onboarding to the unified platform begins July 2025
Organizations interested in strengthening their email security posture and enhancing brand visibility through DMARC, BIMI, VMCs, and CMCs can request early access through DigiCert’s partner portal.
The Future of Unified Digital Trust
This integration represents more than a simple product enhancement—it signals a shift in how digital trust is managed and maintained. By bringing together the critical components of DNS management and certificate issuance, DigiCert is creating an ecosystem where email security, brand protection, and digital trust operate as complementary elements rather than isolated functions.
For enterprises struggling with the complexities of implementing email authentication standards and maintaining brand integrity across digital touchpoints, DigiCert’s unified approach offers a compelling solution that simplifies management while strengthening security.
