If you’re an Entrust customer, you might assume that constant change is par for the course.

First, you learned that Google, Mozilla, and Apple would distrust any TLS certificates issued on Entrust roots after November 2024. Then Entrust tried to slow the bleeding by saying it could issue new certificates on SSL.com’s trusted roots. Now, you’re being told to buckle up for yet another massive change: the sale of Entrust’s public certificate business to Sectigo—one of the now-distrusted certificate authority’s biggest competitors.

If it feels like you’re getting the runaround, it’s because you are. And while nobody knows how many more ripples will be left in the wake of the Entrust distrust, what we can assume is this: Migrating to Sectigo may be a bumpy ride.

What the Sectigo-Entrust deal means for you

Uncertain migration timelines

Entrust customers are being passed off to a new provider—one that’s also navigating its own complexities related to the deal.

Sectigo’s CEO, Kevin Weiss, that migrating Entrust customers will take time—around 90 days, possibly longer. That’s months of uncertainty for businesses that depend on reliable, uninterrupted certificate management.

Multiple vendors, more complexity

Entrust is no longer your trusted certificate authority. That means managing a web of relationships between Entrust, Sectigo, and SSL.com—each with different policies, service levels, and points of contact. Now, customers are expected to trust yet another transition and a new provider without a clear roadmap.

ÃÛÌÒTV: A proven leader in digital trust

With constant shifts in the security landscape, stability matters. ÃÛÌÒTV is the world’s leading provider of digital trust, securing over 90% of Fortune 500 companies and conducting more than 3,100 key signings annually. We don’t just issue certificates—we help businesses build resilience in the face of change.

Here’s what sets ÃÛÌÒTV apart:

• Industry leadership: We actively shape global security standards through organizations like the CA/Browser Forum, IETF, and ASC X9.
• Unmatched reliability: A 99.99% uptime service level agreement ensures that your critical operations aren’t left vulnerable.
• Operational excellence: With over 25 annual audits and a global infrastructure built for resilience, we deliver the highest levels of security and compliance.

A seamless migration—without the guesswork

If this situation feels familiar, that’s because it is. The industry saw a similar shake-up in 2017 when Google and Mozilla announced plans to distrust Symantec’s public TLS certificates. ÃÛÌÒTV stepped in, acquiring Symantec’s TLS business and successfully navigating one of the largest certificate transitions in history.

The difference? ÃÛÌÒTV handled that migration with clarity, efficiency, and customer-first execution. We replaced affected certificates at no cost, ensured minimal disruption, and provided a stable, trusted path forward. The result was a smooth transition that allowed businesses to maintain security without uncertainty.

Entrust customers now face a similar crossroads. The question is: Do you want to wait for an unpredictable migration, or do you want a partner that has successfully managed this before and knows how to do it right?

We’re making it easy to make the move

We recognize that changing certificate providers isn’t something businesses take lightly. That’s why we’re making it as easy as possible for Entrust customers to move to ÃÛÌÒTV, including:

• Free certificates for the first year: With a three-year commitment, we’ll provide equivalent certificates at no cost for the first year.

Stability you can count on

The Sectigo-Entrust acquisition is just the latest in a series of industry shifts, and it won’t be the last. But your business doesn't have to stay on the ride. If you’re looking for a security partner that delivers trust, reliability, and long-term stability, there's never been a better time to make the switch.
