Keyfactor Expands Global Partner Program to Equip Partners for AI and Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition

Keyfactor, a provider of trust infrastructure for AI and machines, announced on July 22, 2026, a major expansion of its Global Partner Program. The enhanced program enables partners to build advisory, implementation, and managed services that help customers modernize digital trust as AI accelerates machine identity growth and organizations prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

Crypto-Agility and Quantum Readiness Framework

The expanded program equips partners to deliver crypto-agility and quantum readiness services while establishing Post-Quantum Cryptography Centers of Excellence. Core elements include a skills-based badge and certification framework that recognizes expertise by role, capability, and customer use case, along with a Not-for-Resale (NFR) PQC Lab innovation program. The NFR PQC Lab supplies the technical foundation partners require to launch crypto-agility and quantum readiness practices, including access to quantum-ready testing environments.

These capabilities address the dual pressures created by AI systems, which dramatically increase the volume of machine identities, certificates, keys, and cryptographic dependencies, and by quantum computing advances that compel enterprises to reassess the long-term resilience of existing cryptographic foundations. Partners can guide customers from cryptographic discovery and visibility through enterprise-wide quantum readiness, supporting migration pathways consistent with NIST PQC standards such as ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.

Keyfactor’s platform consolidates fragmented cryptographic tools into a single control plane, enabling continuous discovery of cryptographic assets, risk remediation, issuance of quantum-ready identities for machines, workloads, and AI agents, and automated certificate lifecycle management. The approach supports regulatory expectations for cryptographic inventory and evolving standards that demand crypto-agility across highly regulated sectors.

Partner Growth and Ecosystem Expansion

Strategic growth priorities center on modern go-to-market innovation, cloud ecosystem selling, and development of high-value digital trust services practices. Value-based incentives, enhanced co-selling, opportunity protection, AI-assisted account planning, joint pursuit planning, and AI-powered co-marketing are designed to accelerate pipeline creation and improve win rates. Expanded investments across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud help partners simplify procurement, unlock hyperscaler funding programs, and accelerate joint customer outcomes.

Louise McEvoy, Senior Vice President of Global Channel Sales at Keyfactor, stated that the transition to post-quantum cryptography represents one of the largest technology and services opportunities in decades. Customers require trusted partners who can modernize digital trust across AI, cloud, machine identities, and cryptography. The program combines hyperscaler ecosystems, technology alliances, AI-powered co-selling, and services enablement to help partners build sustainable practices.

Partner commentary reinforces the commercial impact. Gavin Wood, CEO of CyberLab, noted that collaboration with Keyfactor has driven strategic conversations with enterprise customers on cryptographic security and unlocked opportunities to improve security posture. Mark Thornberry, SVP of Partnerships at GuidePoint Security, observed that the digital trust landscape is changing rapidly amid AI adoption, quantum risk, and compliance demands, positioning the partnership to serve as a trusted advisor for cryptographic modernization.

The Global Partner Program is available worldwide and targets financial services, telecommunications, automotive, government, healthcare, industrial and consumer IoT, software, and other highly regulated industries. Rollout will occur in phases throughout the second half of 2026. Partners can explore the full ecosystem of technology alliances, hyperscalers, cloud marketplaces, systems integrators, managed service providers, and solution providers through the Keyfactor Partner Program resources.

Bottom Line

Keyfactor’s expanded Global Partner Program equips channel partners to deliver quantum-ready digital trust services amid accelerating AI and cryptographic change.
