SSL Certificate Authority of the Year 2021
Let’s Encrypt
Let’s Encrypt has been very successful in the last few years already, but they were mostly using IdenTrust as root certificate, which is what we count root certificates in our surveys. Now their own root certificate is established, which explains their strong growth in 2021, winning our title for the first time. Sectigo, which won the title twice when they were still called Comodo, is second, and DigiCert Group is third.
