- Digicert One now includes Valimail Trust’s email authentication technology
- Bimi logos and verified brand certificates could be more extended soon
- Human error remains a main factor that allows phishing’s continuous global success
Email remains one of the most exploited channels for cybercrime, and phishing and impersonation continue to address individuals and organizations worldwide.
To strengthen protections against these evolving threats, Digicert has announced its acquisition of Valimail.
This acquisition expands Digicert One with the authentication of Valimail zero trusted email to improve the security of email against global phishing threats and supplantation of impersonation.
Expand Digicert’s digital trust platform
“Our strategy has always been to expand the capabilities of our platform with technologies that solve emerging threats for customers, and we believe that email authentication is the next logical step for Digicert One,” said Amit Sinha, CEO of Digicert.
Valimail, recognized for its patented DMARC solutions and authorization from Fedramp, already protects companies, government agencies and global brands.
The company has built its reputation as a leader in the application of DMARC, a critical area to authenticate legitimate senders and block counterfeit messages.
“Our mission has always been to authenticate the communications of the world, starting with email. The team with Digicert helps accelerate our joint mission worldwide …” said Alex García-Tobar, CEO of Valimail.
The integration of Digicert of Valimail’s capabilities aims to unify defenses on websites, devices, software and now email.
Your addition to DIGICERT creates opportunities to implement DMARC at scale through established email housing services and secure email suppliers platforms.
This acquisition shows Digicert’s ambition to capture a DMARC market share of $ 4 billion, while aiming to deliver unified digital confidence for customers.
“As a growth company, we are excited to work closely with AMIT and its leadership team to capture a greater proportion of the market opportunity of $ 4B+ ahead of us,” added García-Tobar.
While the association could cause BIMI logos and verified brand certificates to be more widespread in the input trays, the attackers are known for adjusting their methods.
Temporary email services, for example, continue to be used for malicious activities, which raises doubts about whether technological improvements alone can deter sophisticated campaigns.
Phishing remains the main cyber threat due to human error and inconsistent adoption of security standards.
Even with advanced authentication tools, attackers often exploit the past gaps overlooked or delayed implementation within organizations.
For Digicert and Valimail, success will depend not only on technology, but on whether companies adopt these solutions fully and educate users about evolving threats.
The movement strengthens Digicert’s position, but does not guarantee a rapid decrease in phishing or supplication incidents.
