In a move set to strengthen cybersecurity across Australia, Sectigo, a global leader in automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM), has announced a strategic partnership with Bluechip Infotech, a top Australian IT distributor. This collaboration aims to help businesses navigate the increasingly complex world of digital security while preparing for the next generation of cryptographic challenges.
Addressing the Challenge of Shorter SSL/TLS Lifespans
With the cybersecurity landscape evolving rapidly, companies worldwide are under mounting pressure to modernize their certificate management practices. Sectigo’s latest State of Crypto Agility Report highlights that 96% of organizations are concerned about the operational impact of shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans. Starting March 15, 2026, new industry regulations will mandate certificate renewals every six months—a significant shift from the previous multi-year cycles.
Manual certificate management will no longer suffice. Without automated certificate lifecycle management, businesses risk security gaps, compliance failures, and costly downtime. By partnering with Bluechip Infotech, Sectigo provides a solution that ensures centralized oversight, faster renewals, and reduced operational risk for Australian companies.
What This Partnership Brings to the Market
Bluechip Infotech now gains access to Sectigo’s suite of cybersecurity and PKI solutions, including Sectigo Certificate Manager for both public and private PKI. These tools allow businesses to:
- Gain real-time certificate visibility across complex IT environments
- Automate SSL/TLS certificate renewals to prevent outages
- Reduce operational and compliance risks
- Lay the groundwork for cryptographic agility in anticipation of a quantum computing future
“Partnering with Bluechip Infotech represents a significant milestone in expanding Sectigo’s presence across Australia,” said Ray Garnie, Vice President of Sales, APAC, at Sectigo. “By leveraging Bluechip’s strong channel relationships and deep understanding of the local cybersecurity landscape, we enable partners to deliver scalable, automated solutions that support both current and future security requirements.”
Strengthening Digital Trust Across Australia
For Bluechip Infotech, the partnership enhances its cybersecurity offerings and equips resellers and managed service providers (MSPs) with tools to simplify digital certificate operations. According to Willy Harsono, Director of Marketing & Alliances at Bluechip Infotech, “This partnership empowers our partners to help customers reduce risk and strengthen trust across their digital environments, while preparing for the cryptographic challenges of tomorrow.”
The collaboration includes sales enablement, technical training, marketing support, and local expertise, ensuring that Australian businesses can fully leverage Sectigo’s advanced solutions nationwide.
Preparing for a Quantum Future
Beyond immediate compliance and operational benefits, this partnership positions organizations to tackle the next wave of cybersecurity challenges. With quantum computing on the horizon, cryptographic agility—an organization’s ability to quickly adopt new cryptographic standards—is becoming essential. Automated certificate management solutions like Sectigo’s not only simplify today’s security demands but also create a strong foundation for future-proof digital infrastructure.
