Keyfactor Expands Global Partner Ecosystem to Help Partners Lead the AI and Post-Quantum EraNews

Keyfactor, the leader in trust infrastructure for AI and machines, today announced a major expansion of its Global Partner Program, designed to help partners capitalize on one of the largest security transformations in decades. As AI accelerates the growth of machine identities and organizations prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the enhanced program enables partners to build new advisory, implementation, and managed services that help customers modernize digital trust.The expanded program equips partners to deliver crypto-agility and quantum readiness services, establish Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Centers of Excellence, and strengthen their role as trusted advisors helping customers navigate increasingly complex, multi-technology environments.“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,

What are 47-Day Certificates: What’s Changing, Why It Matters, and How to Get ReadyNews

The CA/Browser Forum has approved a phased reduction in the maximum validity period for publicly trusted TLS certificates, dropping to just 47 days by 2029 — down from today's 398-day standard. The rollout happens in stages: 200 days starting March 2026, 100 days in 2027, and 47 days by 2029.The change is a security win (shorter-lived certificates mean smaller windows for attackers to exploit compromised keys), but it also means organizations will need to renew certificates roughly every month — 8-12 renewal cycles per year per certificate instead of just one. For teams still relying on manual renewal processes, that shift makes automation less of a nice-to-have and more of an operational necessity.This new Keyfactor Education Center article breaks down what's driving the change, the biggest risks of not adapting (think outages, shadow IT certificates, and wildcard cert exposure), and what a modern, automation-ready certificate lifecycle looks like — plus practical first steps for gett

Keyfactor Launches Trust Control Plane to Unify Digital Trust Across the EnterpriseKeyfactor Launches Trust Control Plane to Unify Digital Trust Across the Enterprise

The cryptographic foundation behind every digital interaction has outgrown its tools. Keyfactor unifies this trust infrastructure into one system built for the AI and post-quantum era.  Keyfactor, the leader in trust infrastructure for AI and machines, announced the Trust Control Plane, a unified operating model for the machine identities and cryptography that secure every digital interaction. It brings together the tools enterprises use to manage cryptographic assets and infrastructure into one system, giving security teams continuous visibility, automated operations, and enforced governance across every environment.Trust infrastructure—the cryptographic identities, assets, and systems that secure every digital interaction—has become mission-critical. For decades, it was something you’d configure once and check only if it breaks. That era is over. AI agents, cloud workloads, and connected devices have multiplied machine identities far beyond what any team can track by hand. Certificat
