description Symantec Overview
Symantec was once the dominant force in the SSL market, but their certificate business was acquired by DigiCert in 2017 following trust issues with their issuance practices. While many legacy sites still use Symantec-branded certificates, they are no longer a primary provider for new customers. We include them here for historical context, but we strongly recommend choosing a modern provider like DigiCert or Let's Encrypt for any new security needs, as Symantec's legacy infrastructure is effectively obsolete.
