Sectigo and Altron Security have announced a strategic channel partnership that lets Altron Security leverage Sectigo’s cloud-native CLM solutions to strengthen its digital certificate management offering for customers.
Sectigo’s acquisition of the Entrust public certificate business has established a direct partnership with Altron Security, ensuring the continued provision of trusted CLM solutions for transitioning Entrust customers. The structured migration plan from Entrust to Sectigo minimizes disruption and supports affected customers throughout the transition.
“We look forward to collaborating with Altron Security as we expand our footprint in South Africa,” says Jairo Fraile, vice-president of global partner sales at Sectigo. “This partnership reinforces our dedication to providing trusted and compliant SSL/TLS certificates and PKI solutions. By working closely with Altron Security, we are ensuring that customers experience a smooth migration process to Sectigo while benefiting from our range of offerings.”
With the rapid growth in digital certificate usage, the industry faces a significant challenge: the shortening of certificate lifespans. The shift from 398-day certificate renewals to 47-day poses substantial risks for organizations lacking an automation strategy for their PKI environments.
Through this partnership, Altron Security can now offer Sectigo’s flagship product, Sectigo Certificate Manager, which delivers the necessary automation and security to prevent certificate lapses, ensuring businesses stay compliant and secure in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
“We are excited to partner with Sectigo, a globally recognized Certificate Authority renowned for its industry leadership,” says Andrew Whittaker, MD of Altron Security. “Sectigo’s significant presence in the CA/Browser Forum underscores its commitment to upholding the highest security standards, ensuring the delivery of trusted and compliant SSL/TLS certificates.
“With the shortening of certificate lifespans and increasing security challenges presented by the quantum era, this partnership allows us to provide advanced CLM solutions to the market, empowering businesses to navigate evolving cybersecurity demands confidently.”
