Sectigo partners with QBS Software to expand its Certificate Lifecycle Management reach in the United Kingdom and Ireland
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., — February 27, 2025 — Sectigo, a global leader in digital certificates and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), today announced a partnership with QBS Software, a leading software distributor in EMEA. The strategic partnership aims to enhance the distribution of Sectigo's cutting-edge CLM solutions across the EMEA region, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom and Ireland. QBS Software partners can now better manage their customers’ digital certificates, mitigate any outages and security breaches caused by expired certificates and ultimately help future proof their customers’ businesses.
As organizations of all sizes accelerate their journey into the digital realm, the proliferation of digital certificates is increasing exponentially. At the same time, organizations around the world must prepare to meet the internet's push for shorter certificate lifespans and the impending challenges of postquantum cryptography. As organizations look to future proof their businesses and ensure business continuity, those without a robust certificate management solution may face detrimental certificate management issues and increase their risk of outages and business interruption.
“We pride ourselves on ensuring our partners and resellers are equipped with all the tools they need to be successful now and, in the future,” said Jairo Fraile, vice president of global partner sales at Sectigo. “Partnering with QBS Software is important for us to grow our reach to a broader audience. QBS Software’s established relationships with partners in the UK and Ireland will facilitate the widespread adoption of our cloud-native, certificate lifecycle management solutions so that businesses are better prepared to tackle the digital trust challenges of today and tomorrow.”
Sectigo is uniquely positioned as QBS Software’s only software publisher delivering CLM solutions, enabling QBS to enhance its cybersecurity portfolio and reinforce its status as a leading software distributor. For partners, this collaboration unlocks new revenue streams through value-added cybersecurity services, recurring subscription models, and cross-sell opportunities with existing security offerings. Sectigo’s CLM solutions help partners differentiate in a competitive market by simplifying compliance, reducing risk, and supporting broader security strategies. With automation reducing operational burdens, partners can position Sectigo as an essential efficiency tool, strengthening customer relationships and driving long-term growth.
“We are thrilled to partner with Sectigo to distribute their cloud-native certificate lifecycle management solutions in the region,” said Ikramul Khaled, group head of vendor alliances at QBS Software. “Our partners are now better equipped to meet their customers’ digital security needs and bolster their online presence.”
