Digital trust and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) management provider Keyfactor has announced an expansion of its Global Partner Program. The program is designed to equip systems integrators, hyperscaler partners, managed service providers (MSPs), and security advisory firms to help enterprise clients navigate the transition toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and manage machine identities generated by artificial intelligence.
[ Keyfactor Partner Program Matrix ]
Managing Company ──► Keyfactor (Cleveland, OH).
Target Transition ──► Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) & Crypto-Agility Modernization.
New Enablement Tools──► Not-for-Resale (NFR) PQC Lab Innovation Program & Role Badges.
Cloud Marketplaces ──► AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Ecosystems.
Global Rollout ──► Phased worldwide deployment across H2 2026.Enabling Crypto-Agility and PQC Centers of Excellence
The proliferation of AI systems is causing an exponential increase in machine identities, certificates, keys, and cryptographic dependencies across multi-cloud enterprise networks. Concurrently, the publication of finalized post-quantum cryptographic standards by NIST requires organizations to inventory and upgrade legacy algorithms (such as RSA and ECC) to quantum-resistant alternatives.
To help partners build advisory and implementation services around these requirements, Keyfactor’s expanded program introduces several strategic enablement tracks:
- NFR PQC Lab Innovation Program: Provides partners with Not-for-Resale access to Keyfactor’s trust infrastructure platform, enabling them to establish internal PQC Centers of Excellence and test quantum-safe migration scenarios.
- Badging and Competency Framework: Features a role-based certification framework that validates partner expertise in cryptographic discovery, certificate lifecycle automation, and crypto-agility implementation.
- Hyperscaler Marketplace Co-Selling: Integrates joint-selling initiatives and funding programs across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to simplify enterprise procurement of PKI management tools.
Supporting High-Value Managed Security Services
The program expansion allows security partners to shift beyond traditional software resale toward high-value, long-term managed digital trust services. Enterprise customer conversations are moving from basic visibility toward full cryptographic governance, crypto-agility, and risk remediation across regulated sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, government, and healthcare. The refreshed partner framework will roll out globally in phases throughout the second half of 2026.
