LeaderTelecom B.V. received the 2022 FD Gazellen Award– for the third time in a row! The award was given in the “Netherlands – Western region – Small” category. It reflects our commitment to continuous business improvement. We are among the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands.

As we published previously, the CA/B Forum proposed a start date of 15 November 2022 for switching to storing private keys for OV code signing certificates on devices that meet FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+ or similar security standards. However, the decision was made to extend the transition period.

According to the SSL industry regulator CA/B Forum, starting November 15, 2022, private keys for OV Code Signing certificates must be stored on devices that meet FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+ or equivalent security standards. As a result, the protection of the private key will be strengthened and brought to the level of EV (Extended Validation).

The CA/B Forum, the regulator in the SSL certificate industry, has passed Ballot SC53 by a majority vote. SHA-1 OCSP signatures are no longer supported.

LeaderTelecom B.V. has won the FD Gazellen 2021 award in the Netherlands for the Western region in the Small category, meaning we have won FD Gazellen for the second year in a row. The award highlights the constantly improving business and allows LeaderTelecom B.V. to be included in the list of one of the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands.
