GMO GlobalSign, Inc. a global Certificate Authority (CA) and leading provider of identity security, digital signing and IoT solutions, today announced that in the month of June, the company’s Digital Signing Service (DSS) surpassed 6 million signatures for the first time. The number of timestamps also saw record levels of activity in June, with more than 5.5 million used. In addition, compared to 18 months ago, it is clear there is ongoing expansion of this offering. The high level of DSS usage underscores that businesses worldwide continue to adopt modern document signing methods. Another critical factor is the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. This will add to the pressure organizations are already faced with to implement secure, compliant digital processes; high-assurance signing solutions have become a critical component of organizational infrastructure.

Key Takeaways
Reasons for Expansion
GMO GlobalSign has been offering DSS since 2017 and was one of the first CAs to provide a capability for digital signatures and timestamps. In that time, the annual usage increased fivefold. Contributing factors to this growth include remote work during and following the pandemic, the gradual decline of paper-based document signing, the implementation of regulations worldwide and the expansion of document workflow solutions in broad array of industries.
“Digital transformation, bolstered and enabled by the proliferation of AI across enterprise environments, is radicalizing workflow expectations around efficiency. Mounting pressures around efficiency are only further compounded by increasingly stringent regulatory requirements across verticals and complex enterprise structures, including distributed, remote, and siloed teams. Under those conditions, solution elasticity and scalability is paramount, pushing cloud-based orchestration capabilities to the market forefront. Meanwhile, balancing change management and integration friction with ongoing compliance demands is critical for enterprises, centering high-assurance digital trust providers like GMO GlobalSign within the broader signing segment.” Aisling Dawson, Senior Analyst atABI Research.
Industry by industry
Financial services: High-volume contract processing, strict SEC and FINRA audit requirements, and growing cross-border transaction volumes make PKI-based signing essential. DSS provides verifiable signer identity, trusted timestamps, and non-repudiation — the foundation of legally defensible financial documentation.
Healthcare: DSS's encryption and audit trail capabilities align healthcare providers with both current HIPAA requirements and the direction of proposed 2026 regulation — while integrating with EHR systems and existing workflows.
Government: Public sector digital transformation programs worldwide are driving rapid adoption of trusted digital signing. DSS supports the identity verification and document integrity standards required for legally binding government-issued documentation.
Technology & cybersecurity: As organizations integrate signature workflows into CRM, ERP, and document management platforms, API-first signing infrastructure has become a baseline requirement. DSS's RESTful API enables seamless embedding into any platform, so security teams can enforce signing policy consistently at scale.
“As regulatory expectations continue to evolve globally, organizations need signing solutions that go beyond basic e-signatures,” said Mohit Kumar, Vice President Product Management, GMO GlobalSign. “In addition, with AI increasingly a factor in security, identity-backed digital signatures can be another verification method to confirm authenticity.”

OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 12, 2026--
Oshkosh Defense, an Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK] company, and Marine Depot Maintenance Command (MDMC) successfully demonstrated the ability to securely manufacture and deliver approved, mission-critical replacement parts at the point of need during Exercise Valiant Shield 2026, showcasing a new approach to sustainment that reduces dependence on vulnerable supply lines and helps keep tactical vehicles mission ready.

As military operations become increasingly distributed across the Indo-Pacific and other contested environments, the ability to rapidly produce approved replacement parts closer to where they are needed is becoming a critical readiness advantage. Rather than waiting for parts to move through lengthy and potentially contested logistics networks, digital manufacturing enables forces to restore equipment faster, reduce vehicle downtime, and sustain operations when traditional supply chains are challenged.
During Valiant Shield 2026, Oshkosh Defense supported MDMC and authorized manufacturer MadeHere in securely manufacturing an approved LVSR replacement part in Japan using the AdvMFG Hub Digital Sustainment Platform (DSP), a secure repository of approved digital part files that enables authorized users to manufacture replacement parts while allowing Oshkosh Defense to retain ownership of its intellectual property. The exercise also included production of the same approved replacement part at MDMC in Albany, Georgia, demonstrating how a common, secure digital manufacturing ecosystem can produce identical, configuration-controlled components across geographically dispersed locations.
Producing approved replacement parts at the point of need reduces reliance on long-distance transportation, shortens repair timelines, and increases operational resilience by enabling maintainers to restore vehicles to service without waiting for conventional supply chains.
The demonstration highlights how secure, configuration-controlled digital manufacturing enables rapid production of mission-critical, obsolete, or long-lead replacement parts while maintaining strict quality standards and intellectual property protection. By producing approved replacement parts at or near the point of need, the Marine Corps can reduce equipment downtime, improve operational readiness, strengthen supply chain resilience, and keep critical assets mission-ready in distributed and contested environments.
"Future conflicts will demand new approaches to sustainment, particularly in environments where traditional logistics networks may be constrained or contested," said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer, Oshkosh Defense. "Secure digital manufacturing gives maintainers the ability to produce approved replacement parts closer to the point of need, reducing maintenance delays, improving operational resilience, and helping keep critical vehicles in the fight." By working alongside MDMC and partners including MadeHere, Oshkosh is helping advance a more resilient sustainment model for the U.S. Marine Corps.
