Sectigo establishes CoE in Chennai

Certificate lifecycle management and digital certificate provider Sectigo opened a new office in Chennai. This office will serve as the firm’s center of excellence (CoE) with localised validation and tech support, enhanced service capabilities, and customer service delivery support. 

The CoE is expected to strengthen US-based Sectigo’s presence in the world’s fastest-growing hubs, which also sees a high demand for digital trust solutions.

Spread across a 14,000-square-foot-facility, the Chennai office is located in the city center, and can accommodate up to 300 employees. It will help Sectigo better serve the rapidly growing customer base and partners across the globe. The large-scale multidisciplinary team will support global business operations with site leadership and functions in all areas including people operations, IT, engineering, compliance, sales, and development.

“The launch of our Center of Excellence in Chennai represents a key milestone in Sectigo’s mission to deliver world-class digital trust, enterprise security, and automated certificate management solutions on a global scale,” said Kevin Weiss, CEO at Sectigo. 

“We are strategically expanding our geographic footprint into the fastest growing marketplaces across the globe. Scaling in this region allows us to offer more local expertise and resources, ensuring that we meet and exceed the expectations of our customers and partners.”

This strategic expansion amid Google's upcoming mandate to limit encryption certificates to a 90-day lifespan. The reduced lifecycle makes manual certificate management impractical, increasing the risk of errors in renewal processes, which could result in SSL/TLS outages and potential data breaches. This will prompt organisations to transition to automated certificate lifecycle management for ensuring end-to-end digital trust.
