Integration of UltraDNS Automates and Streamlines Security Operations
DigiCert has announced the integration of UltraDNS into its flagship DigiCert ONE™ platform. This integration automates essential management processes between Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Domain Name Systems (DNS), two foundational components of digital trust, to reduce outage risks and streamline operations.
Traditionally, DNS teams manually update records with every PKI change. However, with the advent of shortened certificate lifespans and quantum computing, manual processes can no longer keep pace. Frost and Sullivan recommend automating these processes to maintain secure and efficient digital interactions. DigiCert ONE addresses these challenges by enhancing cryptographic agility and automating key processes to keep digital trust infrastructure aligned.
“By integrating UltraDNS into DigiCert ONE, we are eliminating complexity and enabling enterprises to automate certificate and DNS management at scale, allowing businesses to focus on innovation and growth rather than managing fragmented security infrastructures.”
— James Cook, Group Vice President Sales, APJ, DigiCert
Advantages of Combining PKI and DNS:
- Unified Digital Trust Management: Centralized management, visibility, and control over certificates and DNS, reducing security complexity and enabling faster threat response.
- Improved Uptime and Business Continuity: Eliminate PKI-related outages and ensure the availability of critical services.
- Automation for Security & Compliance: Automate renewals and DNS configurations to reduce human error and compliance risks.
- Enhanced Performance & Security: Integrated PKI and DNS with DDoS protection, advanced traffic routing, and application security for cyber resilience.
Industry Insights: “Managing separate DNS and PKI solutions adds complexity, increases costs, and introduces potential points of failure,” said Joern Lubadel, Global Head of Product Security at B. Braun. “The move to a converged digital trust platform to mitigate security threats like DNS hijacking and DDoS attacks and streamline operations by automating the management of certificates is the sort of innovation that large enterprises need.”
Grace Young, Chief Innovation Officer at Wattwatchers, added, “DigiCert’s digital trust platform enabled us to automate certificate management, allowing our small team to deliver an efficient, resilient, and secure digital infrastructure for our enterprise customers.”
Ozgun Pelit, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan, noted, “This unified approach enhances automation, resilience, and crypto agility, ensuring organizations can securely scale their operations while preparing for the post-quantum future.”
