Enterprise Code Signing: secure every build, control every key
Enterprise code signing is the centralized management of code signing certificates, private keys, and signing workflows across development teams. Sectigo Certificate Manager helps organizations issue, protect, automate, and audit code signing so every release is verifiably authentic.
Prevent tampering and compromised software
Enterprise Code Signing certificates enable developers to digitally sign applications, drivers, and software programs, eliminating "unknown publisher" warnings so that end users can verify that a third party has not altered or compromised the code they receive. To verify code integrity, these digital certificates include the software developer's signature, the company name, and optional timestamping, helping establish trust for the software publisher.
Benefits of Sectigo Code Signing solutions
Ensure customer confidence
By digitally signing your application or software with a Code Signing certificate, you authenticate publisher identity and assure the user that the integrity of the downloaded code or software is intact and was not tampered with at any time.
Avoid warning messages
Most web browsers will display a warning sign or won't allow the download of the application, software, or code if it does not carry a digital signature from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) like Sectigo.
Protect your brand
Signed applications or software programs help a business protect its brand by providing authentication and ensuring users that the download and use of the signed code is safe and free from dangerous injections like malware.
Benefit from flexibility
Sectigo offers Organization Validation (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing certificates or fully managed via automation within the Sectigo Certificate Manager platform. Need a single certificate? Buy EV or OV code signing certificates.
CA/Browser Forum compliant Code Signing certificates
Sectigo’s Code Signing certificates are compliant with industry standards, and in accordance with the latest CA/B Forum rules, which require all certificates to be provisioned on hardware-based tokens or devices.
As of June 1, 2023, all Code Signing certificates are either:
- Installed on a token and shipped securely to the customer
- Available as a download to be installed on the customer’s own Hardware Security Module (HSM)
All hardware devices, whether they are tokens or HSMs, must be FIPS-compliant and support externally verifiable key attestation.
