DigiCert grew 568 percent from fiscal years 2007 to 2011, a notable feat as the company prepares to enter its 10th year of operations. This is the second consecutive year that DigiCert has made this prestigious national list.
"DigiCert continues its rapid growth in large part due to its focus on flexible, value-driven products and tools that help simplify our customers' workload," said DigiCert CEO Nicholas Hales. "As a company, we follow the highest industry standards, both in terms of our security practices and in the way we approach our products and customer support."
DigiCert is a leading global Certification Authority that helps authenticate online identities and encrypt information transmitted across the Web through the issuance of SSL certificates. The company also authenticates the identity of software publishers through its offering of standard and EV code signing certificates. Web users can recognize a website secured by DigiCert either by clicking on the padlock icon in their web browser's address bar or by looking for a "DigiCert Secure" trust seal, which is often placed in a prominent location on a website's Home or shopping cart page.
"We are proud to honor the 2012 Technology Fast 500™ companies, and commend them for their outstanding growth," said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) leader. "These ground-breaking companies have outpaced their competition and are reinventing the way we do business today."
Since its founding in 2003, DigiCert has continually grown its marketshare through a focus on flexible, value-added products and tools that enable customer success.

Within the past year, the company was named "Best in Class" for "Customer Value Enhancement" in the SSL market by global analyst group Frost & Sullivan.
"The companies on the Fast 500 list are among those that have demonstrated remarkable innovation, creativity and business savvy," said Bill Ribaudo, partner Deloitte & Touche LLP and national TMT leader for audit and enterprise risk services (AERS).
