Sectigo, a U.S.-based cybersecurity company, has formed a partnership with Thomas Peer, a services management consulting firm in Australia and New Zealand.
"Through this new partnership, Sectigo's digital identity and automated certificate lifecycle management solution – Sectigo Certificate Manager – will be available in the suite of solutions Thomas Peer offers its clients," a news release said. "Access to Sectigo's platform helps organizations stay compliant as privacy and security laws across the region are expected to be enacted in the next 12 months."
The U.S. and Europe have enacted tougher new cybersecurity regulations over the last two years, the news release said.
"The Australian government, having recently released the Essential Eight Maturity Model, indicates that they will soon follow suit," the release said. "Until the regulations are published, security experts recommend implementing security frameworks such as National Institute of Standards and Technology and ISO 27001, for which public key infrastructure and certificate management is a fundamental component."
Roseland, New Jersey-based Sectigo has more than 700,000 customers, the news release said.
"We at Thomas Peer are extremely excited about being selected as a preferred partner and bringing Sectigo's digital identity solutions to the Australia and New Zealand region," Andreas Nikolakopoulos, sales manager at Thomas Peer, said in the release. "As laws developed in Europe in recent years, I saw the benefits that even the largest enterprises gained by leveraging Sectigo's advanced digital identity management solution."
