Ideal Customer
- Vercara's core sweet spot is large enterprise and Global 5000 companies — particularly those in high-traffic, mission-critical, or heavily regulated industries where uptime and security are non-negotiable.
- Its enterprise plans are designed for large national or global entities with sophisticated internet presences that face frequent cyberattacks.
Key Differentiators
- Vercara positions itself on three core pillars: industry-leading performance (handling 100+ billion DNS queries per day with near-zero latency), 100% uptime guarantees backed by industry-leading SLAs, and 24/7/365 human-staffed NOC and SOC support that it describes as a key differentiator versus automated-only competitors.
- Its proprietary, non-open-source DNS platform with dual fully-redundant anycast networks (UltraDNS and UltraDNS2) provides unmatched resilience.
Industries Served
- Vercara serves a broad range of industries with a particular emphasis on high-traffic, highly regulated verticals.
- Its formally identified industry verticals include eCommerce, Financial Services, Healthcare, Online Gaming & Gambling, Registry & Registrar, Communication Service Providers, and Travel & Tourism.
Service Coverage
- Vercara (now operating as Vercara powered by DigiCert) is a global provider with infrastructure spanning six continents.
- Its UltraDNS authoritative network operates with up to 47 nodes across 6 continents, using BGP and IP anycast routing to handle over 100 billion global authoritative DNS queries per day.
Partnerships
- Vercara operates a structured, tiered channel partner program that includes value-added resellers (VARs), distributors, referral partners, MSPs/MSSPs, and communications service providers (CSPs).
- Notable distribution partnerships include Distology, which distributes UltraDNS, UltraDDoS Protect, and UltraWAF across the UK, Ireland, and Benelux regions.
Company Size & Ownership
- Vercara (the standalone entity) was formally spun out in December 2021 when Neustar's security division was separated from the TransUnion acquisition, though the underlying business traces its roots to Neustar's founding in 1996.
- The company is estimated to have approximately 201–500 employees and annual revenues of approximately $100 million according to ZoomInfo.
Compliance & Certifications
- Vercara holds SOC 2 Type 2 (SSAE-16) certification, which it maintains as a leading international audit standard for information security management.
- It also maintains PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance for its UltraWAF and UltraDDoS Protect solutions, audited annually by a third-party Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), with an Attestation of Compliance (AoC) available upon request.
