DigiCert and Panasonic Industry Europe Join Forces to Simplify and Accelerate Adoption of Matter Smart Home Device Certification
Lehi, Utah, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DigiCert, a leading global provider of digital trust, today announced it has partnered with Panasonic Industry Europe to integrate DigiCert® Device Trust Manager with Panasonic's PAN-MaX intelligent manufacturing service for seamless Matter certification of interoperable smart home devices. The integration provides manufacturers with a faster, more efficient process for delivering secure, standards-compliant devices to market. The partnership comes at a critical time as smart home device manufacturers face rising pressure to meet security, compliance, and interoperability demands amid rapid market growth. With the global smart home market projected to grow from $147.52 billion in 2025 to $633.20 billion by 2032 (CAGR of 23.1%, per Fortune Business Insights), the integration of DigiCert Device Trust Manager with Panasonic's PAN-MaX service streamlines Matter certification and accelerates delivery of secure, standards-compliant devices. 'DigiCert is a key contributor to Matter and one of the few trusted authorities that can issue Matter device attestation certificates,' said Kevin Hilscher, Senior Director, Product Management at DigiCert. 'Through our partnership with Panasonic Industry Europe, customers can now request certificates instantly through a fully automated system, eliminating extra steps and streamlining security. The process helps manufacturers focus on innovation, ensuring that security and Matter certification accelerate business rather than slow it down.' 'The smart home revolution requires a foundation of trust to thrive,' said Chetan Joshi, Lead Product Manager at Panasonic Industry Europe. 'Panasonic Industry Europe and DigiCert are setting a new standard for trust, where smart home devices aren't just connected, but secure and certified from the moment they're built. By combining Panasonic's innovative PAN-MaX certification service with DigiCert's industry-leading attestation services, we're making sure manufacturers have an effortless path to Matter certification without trading speed for security.' For years, manufacturers have struggled with integrating security and certification into production. Too often, they're treated as an afterthought, leading to costly delays and compliance challenges. By integrating DigiCert Device Trust Manager with PAN-MaX, manufacturers receive: Automatic device attestation certificate (DAC) issuance: Certificates are requested and applied in real-time, without manual intervention and DAC provide encryption, identity, and authentication to devices. Built-in security and compliance: Wireless modules are Matter-ready, with authentication built in from day one. Faster time-to-market: No more waiting for manual certificate approvals. Security happens on the production line. About Matter Matter is the interoperability standard launched by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) and developed by the biggest names in smart home technology, including CSA members DigiCert and Panasonic. Matter aims to create a universal language that allows smart devices to communicate across ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. For manufacturers, Matter compliance isn't just a feature —it's a requirement. Every Matter device must have a Device Attestation Certificate (DAC), a digital proof of compliance issued by a CSA-approved Product Attestation Authority (PAA). DigiCert is a PAA with many Matter certification customers. Without a DAC, a device simply won't function within a Matter ecosystem, creating delays, challenges and missed opportunities in an ultra-competitive market.

DigiCert posts record Q4 growth driven by digital trust demand
DigiCert has reported record financial growth for the fourth quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, citing increased demand for integrated digital trust and quantum-ready security solutions. The company said it closed Q4 at 104% of its target for net new annual contract value (NNACV), a result 25% higher than any previous quarter in its history. DigiCert indicated that it surpassed expectations for the entire second half of the fiscal year, achieving 102% of its total annual contract value plan. Chief Executive Officer Amit Sinha said, "Our record results highlight the increasing need for digital trust in a rapidly evolving security landscape. Organisations worldwide are embracing our DigiCert ONE platform to centralise and simplify digital trust management. By securing the entire digital footprint—from authentication and encryption to DNS—our solutions help enterprises reduce risk, eliminate outages, and improve operational efficiency." Between January 2024 and February 2025, DigiCert reported a 67% rise in customers purchasing both a certificate and at least one DigiCert ONE solution, which the company said demonstrates growing demand for integrated, end-to-end platforms. DigiCert's business expansion during the fiscal year included the acquisition of Vercara, a move aimed at bolstering its digital trust capabilities and adding UltraDNS to its offerings. According to the company, this strengthens its position in providing security solutions to enterprises globally. The company also expanded its leadership team, appointing Lakshmi Hanspal as Chief Trust Officer and Atri Chatterjee as Chief Marketing Officer. In addition, Dr. Taher Elgamal, known as the "father of SSL", joined DigiCert as a strategic advisor. Sinha added, "Our record results highlight the increasing need for digital trust in a rapidly evolving security landscape. Organisations worldwide are embracing our DigiCert ONE platform to centralise and simplify digital trust management. By securing the entire digital footprint—from authentication and encryption to DNS—our solutions help enterprises reduce risk, eliminate outages, and improve operational efficiency." DigiCert supported the advancement of post-quantum security through its inaugural World Quantum Readiness Day, an event focused on driving awareness and action for quantum-safe preparedness. The event drew nearly 4,000 registrants, including experts such as Dr. Peter Shor, Dr. Taher Elgamal, Dr. Bob Sutor, and representatives from Google, Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Cisco, and NIST. In terms of product development, DigiCert said it prioritised innovation through its new DigiCert ONE platform. Throughout FY2025, the company filed 81 patent applications, including nine specific to artificial intelligence and machine learning, 10 related to post-quantum cryptography, and four in the area of content authentication. During the year, the company also introduced DigiCert Device Trust Manager, a platform that provides IoT manufacturers with security management throughout the lifecycle of connected devices. DigiCert cited industry reports projecting the number of connected devices to reach 56 billion, highlighting the need for secure provisioning, compliance management, and risk mitigation. The Device Trust Manager is designed to deliver automated provisioning, end-to-end visibility, and real-time monitoring for connected devices. Additionally, DigiCert announced the availability of Common Mark Certificates (CMCs) to help organisations display verifiable indicators of digital trust. The company stated that it is currently the only provider offering both Common Mark Certificates and Verified Mark Certificates, addressing compliance requirements and reputation protection for enterprises operating online.
