Sectigo Leads Open MPIC Project to Bolster Certificate Security Against BGP Threats
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sectigo, a global leader in digital certificates and automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), in collaboration with researchers at Princeton University, today announced its pivotal role in the Open MPIC (Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration) Project. Sectigo's Principal Architect, Dmitry Sharkov, serves as the project's lead architect in developing an open-source tool that helps Certificate Authorities (CAs) comply with new CA/Browser Forum requirements aimed at enhancing the security of digital certificate issuance against Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attacks. Before issuing a certificate to a website, a CA must verify that the requester legitimately controls the domain listed in the certificate. Although current Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods are in place, research has shown that BGP attacks can still enable fraudulent certificate issuance. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has raised concerns about broader security threats stemming from BGP vulnerabilities. Open MPIC addresses this risk by providing open-source tools that enable CAs to perform DCV from multiple, geographically diverse vantage points, making it significantly harder for routing attacks to lead to misissuance. 'The Open MPIC project marks a critical step forward in addressing the growing risks of certificate misissuance due to BGP vulnerabilities,' said Kevin Weiss, chief executive officer at Sectigo. 'As threats to the WebPKI evolve, Sectigo is committed to driving open-source innovation that strengthens the integrity of the internet. We're particularly proud of Dmitry Sharkov's leadership in advancing Open MPIC, fostering critical industry collaboration to help prevent certificate misissuance and strengthen the entire WebPKI ecosystem.' Following timelines imposed by the CA/Browser Forum, CAs must adhere to these phased MPIC requirements: September 15, 2025: CAs must validate from at least two remote perspectives. March 15, 2026: CAs must validate from at least three remote perspectives. June 15, 2026: CAs must validate from at least four remote perspectives. December 15, 2026: CAs must validate from at least five remote perspectives. As Lead Architect, Sectigo's Sharkov is working in collaboration with co-founders Henry Birge-Lee and Grace Cimaszewski from Princeton University to develop and maintain the project's core library, API specifications, and deployment solutions: 'It's an honor to contribute to a project like Open MPIC that brings the PKI industry together to tackle real-world security challenges,' said Sharkov. 'I'm grateful to collaborate with such talented peers, and I hope our work helps the Certificate Authority community move forward with greater trust and resilience.' Open MPIC joins other key contributions to the WebPKI from Sectigo such as pkimetal and Holding a record five chair positions in the CA/Browser Forum and leading the way amongst all organizations in contributing to essential WebPKI infrastructure and services, Sectigo is committed to advancing the security and reliability of the world's public certificates. Sectigo continues to define the future of digital trust by driving technological innovation, strengthening WebPKI, and ensuring the highest security standards.

Sectigo Brings Certificate Lifecycle Management To Pax8 Marketplace
Sectigo, a provider of digital certificates and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), has announced that the company has joined the Pax8 Marketplace, the leading cloud commerce marketplace. The partnership introduces Sectigo's automated, cloud-native CLM solution – Sectigo Certificate Manager for Partners – to Pax8's network of nearly 40,000 MSPs, marking the first time CLM is available in the Marketplace. MSPs in the Pax8 network can now discover, manage, and automate their customers' SSL/TLS certificates within a single dashboard, removing the complexity behind manual certificate management. The partnership unearths opportunities for channel partners to increase cost efficiencies and encourage customer retention, while significantly reducing the risk of their customers experiencing business interruptions due to mismanaged certificates. As businesses accelerate their digital transformation efforts, the use of digital certificates is growing exponentially, leading to an increase in certificate renewals. Organizations globally need to prepare for the industry's shift to shorter certificate validity periods, which will increase certificate renewals up to 12 times a year, a major challenge for organizations using manual management methods. By partnering with Pax8, Sectigo enables MSPs to seamlessly automate and streamline certificate renewal processes and future-proof systems against evolving cybersecurity challenges, all within a centralized dashboard. 'Sectigo and Pax8 recognize that expired certificates due to manual tracking or human error can expose businesses to security risks, downtime, loss of customer trust, and financial and reputational damage,' said Jairo Fraile, vice president of global partner sales at Sectigo. 'We are proud to have been fast-tracked as the first automated Certificate Lifecycle Management solution available in the Pax8 Marketplace. We look forward to empowering thousands of forward-thinking MSPs with an enterprise-grade solution for SMBs to ultimately help future-proof their business with shorter certificate lifespans on the horizon.' Sectigo Certificate Manager for Partners is a comprehensive CLM solution that eliminates the manual burdens associated with certificate management by automating the processes of issuance, installation, renewal and management of public SSL/TLS certificates through the ACME protocol. Key advantages of the Pax8 partnership for MSPs include: Eliminates the risk of business outages: Organizations that rely on manual certificate management are already at risk due to human error. With shorter certificate lifespans on the horizon, CLM automation eliminates these concerns while simultaneously strengthening security.
