Fujitsu and DigiCert to automate digital certificate renewals as lifespans shrinks for A/NZ businesses. Fujitsu | Published 18 Aug 2026 New partnership helps local customers navigate escalating operational and security risks with confidence by automating digital certificate lifecycle management Australian and New Zealand organisations facing growing operational and security challenges can now better manage and automate digital trust through a new strategic partnership between global digital transformation leader, Fujitsu, and the world's leading digital trust authority, DigiCert. The collaboration brings together the DigiCert ONE platform with Fujitsu's consulting, integration, and managed services expertise, giving customers an automated approach to certificate lifecycle management that reduces operational complexity and strengthens resilience. As digital certificates become increasingly critical to securing applications, devices, cloud environments, machine identities, and even AI agent identities, organisations are under growing pressure to modernise how they manage trust. Through this partnership, Fujitsu will deliver implementation, integration, and managed services for DigiCert ONE, helping customers automate certificate lifecycle management and improve visibility across certificate environments as the industry prepares for shorter Transport Layer Security certificate lifespans as well as post quantum cryptography. Peter Grassi, Chief Executive Officer of Fujitsu in Oceania, said: "Trust is everything in today's digital world. A single, expired certificate can cause businesses immediate financial loss and lasting reputational damage. Fujitsu's partnership with DigiCert directly addresses that risk. We're combining Fujitsu's proven managed services with the world's leading automation platform to deliver a single, unified solution. This approach eliminates the manual workload, prevents costly errors, and gives our customers the confidence to operate securely." Daniel Sutherland, Area Vice President ANZ at DigiCert, said: "Fujitsu's deep industry expertise and managed services capability make them the ideal partner for cyber security consulting in Australia and New Zealand. With certificate lifecycles shrinking to just 47 days by 2029, manual management has become unsustainable and incredibly risky. By combining DigiCert's automation technology with Fujitsu's implementation and managed services expertise, we're helping customers modernise how they manage trust by reducing operational risk and improving resilience" Navigating an evolving security landscape The partnership addresses critical industry-wide challenges by automating certificate lifecycle management, which reduces operational risk, prevents outages, and lowers costs for IT and security teams. The partnership is a direct response to growing security challenges, including: * Shrinking certificate lifetimes: The CA/Browser Forum, an industry body of browser and security certificate providers that sets web security policy, is reducing public Transport Layer Security certificate lifetimes to just 47 days by 2029. This dramatically increases the frequency of renewals and the risk of business-crippling outages from expired certificates. * The quantum threat: With quantum computers expected to break today's encryption standards, the Australian Signals Directorate has mandated that organisations must have a post-quantum cryptography transition plan in place by 2026, and complete migration before 2035. This requires systems capable of encryption upgrades. * Machine identity proliferation: The explosion in the number of devices, applications, and cloud services has made manual management of digital certificates extremely complex and has significantly expanded the attack surface for bad actors. Delivering confidence through automated trust management This joint offering enables organisations to gain complete visibility of their digital certificates, the critical first step to achieving digital trust. It then automates the entire lifecycle, replacing the high-risk manual renewal process with a simple, fully automated system that prevents problems before they happen. Key customer benefits include: * Fully automated lifecycle management: Eliminates the manual effort and human error inherent in certificate discovery, issuance, renewal, and revocation, while preparing organisations for future encryption upgrades. * Preventing costly downtime: Provides stronger control and complete visibility over all digital certificates, ensuring organisations can manage the complexity of modern IT environments and avoid outages as certificate validity periods shorten. * A clear path to post-quantum readiness: The platform and managed services model is explicitly designed to support future cryptographic change, helping customers transition to post-quantum cryptography standards seamlessly. * End-to-end local expertise: Fujitsu's extensive managed services combined with DigiCert's technology, providing a single point of contact for consulting, implementation, and ongoing management, reducing complexity and ensuring rapid time-to-value.

Fujitsu and DigiCert to automate digital certificate renewals. Tuesday, 18 August, 2026 Fujitsu has announced a strategic partnership with digital trust authority DigiCert. The collaboration will bring together the DigiCert ONE platform with Fujitsu's consulting, integration and managed services to give its customers an automated approach to certificate lifecycle management that reduces operational complexity and strengthens resilience, according to Fujitsu. The maximum lifespan of a public Transport Layer Security certificate, a critical component of online security, is set to shrink from the current 200 days to just 47 days by 2029. For businesses in Australia and New Zealand, this will significantly increase the risk of a single oversight causing a costly outage. And as digital certificates become increasingly critical to securing applications, devices, cloud environments, machine identities and even AI agent identities, organisations are under growing pressure to modernise how they manage trust. The partnership aims to address critical industry-wide challenges by automating certificate lifecycle management, which reduces operational risk, prevents outages and lowers costs for IT and security teams. Through the partnership, Fujitsu will deliver implementation, integration and managed services for DigiCert ONE, helping users automate certificate lifecycle management and improve visibility across certificate environments as the industry prepares for shorter Transport Layer Security certificate lifespans as well as post-quantum cryptography. "Trust is everything in today's digital world. A single, expired certificate can cause businesses immediate financial loss and lasting reputational damage," said Peter Grassi, Chief Executive Officer of Fujitsu in Oceania.

DigiCert recognised as a top-tier Digital Trust leader in Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Digital Trust and eSignature Ecosystem Radar. DigiCert | Published 11 Aug 2026 COMPANY NEWS: DigiCert, a global leader in intelligent trust, today announced it has been recognised as a top-tier digital trust leader in Frost & Sullivan's 'Frost Radar(TM): Digital Trust and eSignature Ecosystem, 2026.' DigiCert was positioned among the market's leadership cluster for both Innovation and Growth. Frost & Sullivan noted that DigiCert's growth is being propelled by enterprise demand for cryptographic trust at scale. Frost & Sullivan highlighted the growing need for organisations to trust not only a digital signature, but also the identity behind it and the integrity of the content over time. As AI-generated content and digital fraud become more common, organisations need confidence that their digital transactions remain authentic, secure, and compliant. The report recognised DigiCert's ability to help customers meet these challenges while preparing for evolving regulations such as eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet framework. To help organisations put that into practice, DigiCert provides cryptographic proof that establishes who signed a document, confirms it has not been altered, and preserves verifiable evidence over time. For example, when a procurement contract, supplier agreement, regulatory filing, purchase order, or employment contract is signed digitally, organisations can demonstrate its authenticity years later. DigiCert ONE brings these capabilities together in a single platform, making it easier to establish and manage digital trust across the enterprise. "Organisations are moving beyond standalone e-signature tools toward integrated digital trust architectures that combine identity verification, signing, and integrity controls," said Riana Barnard, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "DigiCert's PKI-native approach provides a trusted foundation for these capabilities, helping organisations establish a single, auditable trust backbone across digital transactions while preparing for evolving regulatory and security requirements." "Organizations are under growing pressure to know what they can trust online," said Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer at DigiCert. "AI is changing how digital content is created and shared, and that is raising the bar for proving authenticity. We believe trust needs to be built into the foundation of every digital interaction."
