Security News > 2024 > February > Enterprises’ progress in digital trust implementation is far from great

While digital trust overwhelmingly remains a critical focus for all enterprises, the latest report from DigiCert shines a light on the growing divide between the 'leaders', and the 'laggards'.

The top 33% digital 'trust leaders' enjoyed higher revenue, better digital innovation and higher employee productivity.

The leaders were more likely to centrally manage their certificates, more likely to employ email authentication and encryption technology, and generally employed more mature practices in digital trust management.

As digital transformation efforts progress, more and more digital assets have become mission critical.

Whether in public or private trust, digital certificates remain fundamental to establishing trust efforts.

"For organizations to be champions of digital trust, they must understand and actively implement the structure, processes, and activities that make it possible," said Jennifer Glenn, Research Director, Security and Trust Group, IDC. "This includes keeping up with changes to industry standards, maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements in each geography, managing the life cycle of digital trust technologies, and extending trust into digital ecosystems. Companies that focus their efforts on digital trust - and make it a strategic imperative for the business - the benefits are notable, including reliable uptime, reduced risk of data compromise, and improved user trust," concluded Glenn.
