SSL for your industry

How industries map to SSL’s product catalog

SSL’s product catalog is organized by what the product protects — your Brand, your Operations, or your Voice. Industries cut across those pillars. Every industry page draws from multiple value groups, because real-world sectors never fit inside a single product line.

Common threads across every industry

CapabilityWhy it matters across industries
REST API (SWS API)Whether the workload is CI/CD, a CDN issuing millions of certificates, or a manufacturing line — certificate automation via API is the common denominator
ACME Protocol (RFC 8555)As TLS lifetimes shorten toward 47 days, every industry needs ACME automation — no longer a DevOps-specific concern
WebTrust Audits (BDO)Independent audit evidence for enterprise procurement, FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and energy sector compliance
CA/B Forum Baseline RequirementsThe common compliance floor for all publicly trusted certificates — TLS, S/MIME, Code Signing, and VMC
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMsCA keys generated and stored in certified hardware — the minimum standard for regulated industries
In operation since 2002Over two decades of continuous CA operations — the track record large enterprise, government, and regulated customers require
