DigiCert joins OTA and fellow industry leaders in advocating for a
safer internet with EV SSL certificates and consumer privacy measures;
company leads by example

LINDON, Utah, June 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DigiCert, Inc., an
online security provider for many of the most recognized brands and web
sites in the world and board member for the Online Trust Alliance
(OTA), today was named to the 2012 OTA Online Trust Honor Roll; the
company also congratulated several of its customers that made the list.

The honor roll recipients were named based on a comprehensive analysis
of adoption of key security and privacy initiatives, including
deployment of high-assurance SSL certificates to authenticate and
encrypt online exchanges, e-mail authentication and consumer data
protection. As part of the analysis, OTA benchmarked leading online
retailers (IR 500) and the FDIC Top 100 Banks, as well as social
networking sites. Of the companies evaluated by the non-profit,
member-based OTA, less than 30 percent made the grade.

"Today's businesses are stewards of ever-increasing amounts of users'
personal and sensitive data that necessitate the implementation of
privacy and security best practices," said Craig Spiezle, executive
director and president, Online Trust Alliance. "Being a member of the
2012 OTA Online Trust Honor Roll means that DigiCert has demonstrated
exceptional leadership and commitment towards online safety, to
enhancing the vitality of the Internet and, most importantly, to
consumer trust."

DigiCert is a premier provider of online trust and is currently the
world's third-largest provider of enterprise authentication services
and high-assurance digital certificates, trusted by thousands of
government, education and Fortune 500(R) organizations around the
world. These certificates form the backbone of e-commerce, online
banking and social networking today, enabling secure online connections
for the world's populations. DigiCert secures web connections for some
of the world's most well-known and trafficked sites and powers
ClickID(R), the new trust seal program that authenticates organizations
and verifies their identities to build trust with customers.

"As a company focused on securing online trust between our clients and
their consumers, we are working diligently with the OTA and other
organizations to advance best practices," said DigiCert CEO Nicholas
Hales. "When people purchase their favorite products online or use
mobile banking, they need to be able to trust that the data they
exchange is safe. DigiCert's SSL certificates use leading
authentication and data encryption technologies to provide this peace
of mind."
