DigiCert has unveiled the DigiCert® Partner Network, a comprehensive global programme designed to equip partners with enhanced ways to promote, manage, integrate, and transact DigiCert solutions. This new initiative leverages the capabilities of DigiCert ONE, assisting partners in addressing immediate certificate lifecycle needs while expanding customer interactions through PKI modernisation, cryptographic transformation, post-quantum readiness, and establishing trust across software, devices, content, and AI.
The DigiCert Partner Network accommodates six distinct business models, targeting resellers, managed service providers, global systems integrators, alongside Service Delivery, Technology Alliance, and Cloud Marketplace Partners. Each partner can select specific methods of sales, services, technology, and cloud operations that align with their business strategies, supported by comprehensive training, certification, and DigiCert’s technical resources and expertise.
Focus on managed service providers
A notable feature of the programme is the new Managed Service Provider (MSP) initiative, offering providers a dedicated platform for delivering certificate lifecycle management and managed PKI as ongoing services. DigiCert ONE’s multi-tenant functionalities aid in discovery, issuance, renewal, policy enforcement, and environment-wide monitoring, allowing MSPs to efficiently scale services as certificate lifecycle demands escalate, with prospects to dive into PKI modernisation and prepare for post-quantum technologies.

Within the Partner Network, engagements can commence with certificate automation but have the potential to evolve into areas such as PKI modernisation, quantum-safe cryptography, and building trust in software, devices, and AI, thereby fostering deeper customer relationships and revenue streams driven by services.
Embracing quantum-safe cryptography
Jeff Manning, Global VP of Channels and Alliances at DigiCert, emphasised the need for certificate automation, extending the importance of addressing trust challenges within customers' digital environments. Through DigiCert’s partner programme, businesses can explore areas including PKI, software, devices, content, AI, and post-quantum readiness, transforming challenges into sustained customer relationships and continuous revenue.
Beginning with automated certificate lifecycle management, providers need scalable systems as public TLS certificate validity approaches 47 days. The MSP Program facilitates the delivery of these solutions with enhanced options for managed services. DigiCert ONE’s capabilities significantly reduce manual operation requirements, allowing expansion into PKI modernisation, crypto-agility, secure DNS operations, and preparation for post-quantum resilience.
Building sustained digital trust
DigiCert partners can assist customers in securing software supply chains
DigiCert partners can assist customers in securing software supply chains, managing device identities, establishing digital content provenance, verifying AI models, and governing AI agents. In addition, they can support the transition to quantum-safe cryptography, identifying and managing cryptographic risks with DigiCert's Quantum Central, which enables cryptographic discovery, remediation planning, and monitoring transformation progress within organisations.
Michael Duffy, CEO/CISO at Excedo Networks AB, highlighted the comprehensive platform and expertise DigiCert provides, which stands out in enabling businesses to automate certificate lifecycles, modernise cryptographic infrastructure, and prepare for the post-quantum shift. This collaboration helps establish strategic client relations while opening avenues for new service offerings and delivering long-term value.
Ultimately, the DigiCert Partner Network, powered by DigiCert ONE, spans realms of PKI management, DNS, software trust, device identity, digital content provenance, AI trust, and post-quantum readiness, thereby laying a robust foundation for broader 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, organisations 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 organisations 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.
