Sectigo Integrates Post-Quantum Cryptography Testing into Certificate Manager — Sectigo, Inc.

Event summary

Sectigo launched Private PQC, a feature within Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM) that enables enterprises to issue and manage private PQC SSL/TLS certificates using familiar SCM workflows.
Private PQC supports ML-DSA algorithms (ML-DSA-44, ML-DSA-65, ML-DSA-87) and is hosted by Sectigo with a virtual Hardware Security Module (HSM).
Google and Cloudflare have accelerated their PQC migration timelines to 2029, highlighting the urgency of quantum-safe preparation.
90% of organizations plan to fund PQC initiatives in the next 12 months, but many struggle with execution due to fragmented legacy environments and overloaded security teams.

The big picture

Sectigo's integration of Private PQC into its Certificate Manager addresses the growing urgency for quantum-safe preparation, as major players like Google and Cloudflare advance their migration timelines. This move positions Sectigo as a key player in helping enterprises navigate the complex transition to post-quantum cryptography, leveraging its existing PKI expertise and real-world experience. The feature aims to reduce the operational burden and risk associated with PQC testing, making it a strategic advantage in the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
