DigiCert has unveiled its new Partner Network, aiming to offer partners enhanced methods for selling, delivering, managing, integrating, and transacting DigiCert solutions globally. Built on the DigiCert ONE platform, this initiative seeks to address immediate certificate lifecycle demands while enabling growth into areas such as PKI modernization, cryptographic transformation, post-quantum readiness, and trust in software, devices, content, and AI.
The DigiCert Partner Network supports various business models, including resellers, managed service providers (MSPs), global systems integrators, Service Delivery Partners, Technology Alliance Partners, and Cloud Marketplace partners. Partners have access to tailored sales, service, technology, and cloud strategies, complemented by training, certifications, market resources, technical backing, and DigiCert's expert guidance.
Managed Service Provider Focus
The newly introduced MSP Program empowers service providers with dedicated avenues for offering certificate lifecycle management and managed PKI as recurring services. DigiCert ONE’s multi-tenant capabilities facilitate discovery, issuance, renewal, policy enforcement, and monitoring across customer landscapes, while DigiCert operates the core platform and PKI functions. This supports MSPs in scaling recurring services amid shifting certificate lifecycle durations, with additional opportunities in PKI modernization and post-quantum readiness.
Partners are encouraged to start with certificate lifecycle automation and branch into advanced services. Amid decreasing public TLS certificate validity periods, automation becomes critical. The MSP Program provides support for certificate lifecycle management, while the broader Partner Network allows for extending engagements into PKI modernization, crypto-agility, secure DNS operations and preparing for a post-quantum future.
Expanding Digital Trust
DigiCert partners can assist customers in securing software supply chains
Partners can aid customers in ensuring the security of software supply chains, managing device identities, establishing digital content provenance, verifying AI model integrity, and governing autonomous agents. Solutions also include building services for verifying AI content and models while establishing identity, ownership, and authority for AI agents. DigiCert Quantum Central provides a framework for cryptographic discovery, risk prioritization, and transformation planning.
"Certificate automation is becoming an urgent priority, but it is only the beginning of the opportunity for our partners," stated Jeff Manning, Global VP of Channels and Alliances at DigiCert. "Our network equips partners with technology and expertise to convert today's trust challenges into expansive, enduring customer partnerships and recurring revenue."
Strategic Support for Digital Trust
Michael Duffy, CEO/CISO of Excedo Networks AB, emphasized DigiCert’s broad platform and expertise, stating, "We start by addressing immediate needs like automating certificate lifecycles, but we also guide customers in modernizing cryptographic infrastructures, readying for post-quantum transitions, and meeting AI trust requirements. This enhances strategic collaborations and creates new service expansion opportunities."
The DigiCert Partner Network, powered by DigiCert ONE, integrates PKI, certificate lifecycle management, DNS, software trust, device identity, content provenance, AI trust, and post-quantum readiness, establishing a comprehensive foundation for expanded digital trust services.
DigiCert, a pioneer in intelligent trust, today introduced the new DigiCert® Partner Network, a global program that gives partners more ways to sell, deliver, manage, integrate, and transact DigiCert solutions. Built on DigiCert ONE, the network helps partners address immediate certificate lifecycle needs and expand customer engagements into PKI modernisation, cryptographic transformation, post-quantum readiness, and trust for software, devices, content, and AI.
The DigiCert Partner Network supports six partner business models: resellers, managed service providers, global systems integrators, Service Delivery Partners, Technology Alliance Partners, and Cloud Marketplace partners. Partners can choose the sales, services, technology, and cloud motions that fit their business, backed by training and certification, go-to-market resources, technical enablement, and DigiCert expertise.
Global systems integrators
The new MSP Program gives managed service providers a dedicated way to deliver certificate lifecycle management and managed PKI as recurring services. Multi-tenant capabilities in DigiCert ONE support discovery, issuance, renewal, policy enforcement, and monitoring across customer environments, while DigiCert operates the underlying platform and PKI capabilities. This helps MSPs scale recurring services as certificate lifecycles shorten, with opportunities to expand into PKI modernisation and post-quantum readiness.
Across the Partner Network, engagements can begin with certificate automation and grow into PKI modernisation, quantum-safe cryptography, and trust for software, devices, and AI, creating deeper customer relationships and services-led revenue.
Quantum-safe cryptography
“Certificate automation is becoming an urgent priority, but it is only the beginning of the opportunity for our partners,” said Jeff Manning, Global VP of Channels and Alliances, at DigiCert. “With DigiCert, partners can address the trust challenges customers face today and expand into new areas spanning PKI, software, devices, content, AI and post-quantum readiness. The DigiCert Partner Network gives them the technology, expertise and routes to market to turn those challenges into broader, long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue.”
Initial readiness assessments
- Start with certificate lifecycle automation and managed services. As maximum public TLS certificate validity moves toward 47 days, organizations will need automation. Within the broader Partner Network, the new MSP Program gives providers a dedicated way to deliver certificate lifecycle management and managed PKI as recurring services. Multi-tenant capabilities in DigiCert ONE support discovery, issuance, renewal, policy enforcement and monitoring across customer environments, while DigiCert operates the underlying platform and PKI capabilities. MSPs can reduce manual work and extend these engagements into PKI modernisation, crypto-agility, secure DNS operations and post-quantum readiness.
- Build trust into software, devices, content, and AI. Partners can help customers protect software supply chains, manage device identities, establish digital content provenance, verify model integrity and govern autonomous agents. For AI, they can build services that verify content and models and establish the identity, ownership and authority of AI agents.
- Lead customers from cryptographic discovery to post-quantum readiness. Partners can help organizations identify cryptographic assets and risk, prioritise remediation, modernise legacy PKI and manage the transition to quantum-safe cryptography. DigiCert Quantum Central provides a foundation for cryptographic discovery, risk prioritisation, remediation planning and progress tracking, enabling partners to turn initial readiness assessments into longer-term transformation programs.
Post-quantum transition
“Customers increasingly need to manage trust across their entire digital environment, from certificates and PKI to software, devices and AI,” said Michael Duffy, CEO/CISO, Excedo Networks AB. “What stands out about working with DigiCert is the breadth of the platform and the expertise behind it. We can begin by solving an immediate need, such as automating certificate lifecycles, and then help customers modernise their cryptographic infrastructure, prepare for the post-quantum transition and address emerging AI trust requirements. That creates a more strategic relationship with our customers while giving us new opportunities to expand the services and long-term value we provide.”
Powered by DigiCert ONE, the Partner Network spans PKI, certificate lifecycle management, DNS, software trust, device identity, content provenance, AI trust and post-quantum readiness, giving partners a common foundation for broader digital trust services.
