Fastly introduces new partner certification program

Global cloud platform provider Fastly has launched its new partner certification program, the Fastly Certified Services Partner Program.

This new initiative is designed for technical security professionals at partner organisations, providing them with training and certification to implement and manage Fastly’s security solutions.

Once completed, Fastly’s partners will have access to a suite of resources, including early insights into the company’s innovation roadmap, exclusive invitations to technical labs and webinars, and unlimited access to future educational content.

Upon successful completion of the training, partner organisations will earn the designation of Fastly Certified Services Partner and individual participants will become a Fastly Certified Professional for Security Implementation.

Customers can now choose to have their Fastly security solutions implemented either by Fastly's own professional services team or by a certified local partner.

The introduction of the Fastly Certified Services Partner Program comes two years after the company unveiled a new program that aims to streamline complete solution delivery and grow its local partner network.

“Equipping our partners with advanced training and certification in our security solutions enables them to expand their service portfolios, create new revenue streams, and deliver greater value to their clients, while also providing customers with greater choice and flexibility in how they implement and manage their security infrastructure,” said Jeff Alpen, VP of global partnerships at Fastly.

“The Fastly Certified Services Partner Program is a pivotal step in strengthening our global channel ecosystem and delivering superior value to both our customers and partners.”
