Keyfactor, a trust infrastructure for AI and machines organization, has announced the expansion of its Global Partner Program.

The partner program enhancement enables partners to build new advisory, implementation, and managed services for helping customers modernize digital trust as organizations prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). 

It will equip partners to deliver crypto-agility and quantum readiness services and establish PQC Centers of Excellence.

Keyfactor targets growth in partner-led services

Keyfactor’s Global Partner Program enables partners to go beyond traditional software resale and build long-term digital trust practices spanning assessment, migration, implementation, managed services, and ongoing cryptographic governance.

Among the strategic growth priorities the program is built around are:

  • Accelerating partner growth through modern go-to-market innovation: Through a partner-first operating model that features value-based incentives, enhanced co-selling, opportunity protection, AI-assisted account planning, joint pursuit planning, and AI-powered co-marketing, partners can accelerate pipeline creation, improve win rates, and create long-term customer value.
  • Accelerating growth through cloud ecosystems and marketplace selling: An expanded investment across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and strategic cloud ecosystems helps partners simplify procurement, unlock hyperscaler funding programs, and accelerate joint customer success.
  • Building the digital trust and post-quantum services practice of the future: The partner program includes a new skills-based badge and certification framework that recognizes expertise by role, capability, and customer use case. A new Not-for-Resale (NFR) PQC Lab innovation program provides the technical foundation partners need to launch their own crypto-agility and quantum readiness practice. Scalable service offerings focused on digital trust modernization enable partners to create PQC Centers of Excellence and earn quantum-ready service competencies. 

“The transition to post-quantum cryptography represents one of the largest technology and services opportunities our industry has seen in decades,” said Louise McEvoy, Senior Vice President, Global Channel Sales, Keyfactor. 

“Customers aren’t simply looking for new products; they need trusted partners who can help them modernize digital trust across AI, cloud, machine identities, and cryptography. Our expanded Global Partner Program brings together hyperscaler ecosystems, technology alliances, AI-powered co-selling, and services enablement to help partners lead that transformation and build sustainable, high-value services practices.”

Partners prepare customers for cryptographic change

Additionally, the expanded program helps partners lead customer conversations, accelerate adoption, and guide organizations through the significant security transition that quantum presents.

“Partnering with Keyfactor enabled us to drive further strategic conversations with our enterprise customers about cryptographic security and unlock new opportunities to improve their security posture, future-proofing their business against malicious actors and reducing risk,” said Gavin Wood, CEO, Cyberlab.

The program will roll out globally in phases throughout the second half of 2026.

“The digital trust landscape is changing faster than ever as organizations contend with accelerating AI adoption, quantum risk, and increasing compliance demands,” said Mark Thornberry, SVP, Partnerships, GuidePoint Security. 

“Our partnership with Keyfactor enables us to serve as a trusted advisor, helping customers modernize their cryptographic foundations and prepare for what’s next.”
