More About GlobalSign
GlobalSign provides cloud-based and managed PKI services that enterprises, service providers, and public sector entities use to establish authenticated and encrypted digital communications across web properties, internal systems, and connected devices.
The company issues and manages X.509 digital certificates based on standard cryptographic protocols, including TLS/SSL (web and application security), S/MIME (email security), and client authentication certificates for securing access to applications, APIs, and VPNs.
In the web security domain, GlobalSign offers certificate services mapped to common Certificate Authority (CA) use cases, including domain validation, organization validation, and extended validation TLS/SSL certificates (web security), which are used to protect websites, customer portals, and online services.
GlobalSign also delivers digital signing and trusted identity services (digital signature and trust services), providing certificates that support document signing, workflow approvals, and code signing, aligned with standard trust frameworks and regulatory requirements where applicable.
For identity and access management (IAM), GlobalSign enables organizations to bind verified person and organization identities to cryptographic credentials (identity and access management), supporting scenarios such as strong authentication, device identity, and access control in enterprise and multi-tenant environments.
Its platforms provide certificate lifecycle management and automation capabilities (security operations), including enrollment, renewal, revocation, and policy enforcement, with options to integrate PKI functions into existing infrastructure such as directories, identity platforms, DevOps pipelines, and Internet of Things (IoT) device management systems.
GlobalSign’s offerings align with established internet and security standards, including public key cryptography, certificate chains anchored in trusted root Content Addressable Storage (CAS), Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), which enable relying parties such as browsers, operating systems, and enterprise applications to validate trust.
Within a technology directory or marketplace, GlobalSign fits primarily in categories such as CA services, PKI, TLS/SSL certificate management, digital signatures and trust services, and identity-centric security for web, application, and device ecosystems.
