DigiCert launches global partner network

DigiCert has introduced the DigiCert Partner Network, a global programme designed to give partners more ways to sell, deliver, manage and integrate its digital trust solutions, with a dedicated managed service provider track built in from the start.

The network is built on DigiCert ONE and supports six partner business models: resellers, managed service providers, global systems integrators, service delivery partners, technology alliance partners and cloud marketplace partners.

Partners can select the sales, services, technology and cloud motions that suit their business, backed by training and certification, go-to-market resources and technical enablement, the company said.

A new MSP programme sits within the broader network, giving managed service providers a dedicated path 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 infrastructure.

The timing is linked to a shortening of public TLS certificate validity periods, which DigiCert said are moving toward 47 days, increasing automation requirements for organisations managing large certificate estates.

The company said the programme gives MSPs a way to scale recurring services as that pressure grows, with scope to expand into PKI modernisation and post-quantum readiness.

Beyond certificate lifecycle management, DigiCert said partners can build services around software supply chain protection, device identity management, digital content provenance, AI model integrity verification and governance of autonomous agents.

Partners can also guide customers through cryptographic discovery, risk prioritisation and the transition to quantum-safe cryptography, using DigiCert Quantum Central as the foundation.

"Certificate automation is becoming an urgent priority, but it is only the beginning of the opportunity for our partners," said Jeff Manning, global vice president 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."
