San Francisco-based Fastly, which makes a global edge cloud platform, has announced the launch of its new partner certification program, the Fastly Certified Services Partner Program. This new initiative is designed for technical security professionals at partner organizations, providing them with comprehensive training and certification to implement and manage Fastly’s advanced security solutions.
72% of executives report a rise in cyber threats, and as a result, the demand for trusted security expertise and streamlined solutions is also rising. This demand is making certification a critical differentiator in building trust, credibility, and upskilling security professionals to meet new challenges driven by AI-driven threats. To address these threats, Fastly’s new self-guided certification program equips partners with deeper, broader security expertise while also giving them the flexibility to earn their certification at their convenience. Once completed, Fastly’s partners will have access to a suite of resources, including early insights into the company’s innovation roadmap, exclusive invitations to technical labs and webinars, and unlimited access to future educational content.
“Equipping our partners with advanced training and certification in our security solutions enables them to expand their service portfolios, create new revenue streams, and deliver greater value to their clients, while also providing customers with greater choice and flexibility in how they implement and manage their security infrastructure,” said Jeff Alpen, Vice President of Global Partnerships at Fastly. “The Fastly Certified Services Partner Program is a pivotal step in strengthening our global channel ecosystem and delivering superior value to both our customers and partners.”
“The new Fastly Certified Services Partner Program is here, giving partners the tools, training, and recognition to deliver best-in-class Fastly security implementations,” Fastly stated. “Through this certification program you’ll gain:
Self-guided training
Certification and ongoing enablement
Exclusive partner benefits
“This is your opportunity to expand your service portfolios, create new revenue streams, and deliver even greater value to your clients. Get started today and join our growing community of certified experts.”
“Fastly’s new certification program reinforces the strength of our partnership and empowers our team with the advanced technical knowledge needed to deliver exceptional results for our customers,” said Ben Trafton, Vice President of Client Services at Yottaa. “It’s a unique benefit for Fastly partners that enhances our ability to create greater go-to-market value together.”
Once completed, Fastly’s partners will have access to a suite of resources, including early insights into the company’s innovation roadmap, exclusive invitations to technical labs and webinars, and unlimited access to future educational content. Upon successful completion of the training, partner organizations will also earn the designation of Fastly Certified Services Partner and individual participants will become a Fastly Certified Professional for Security Implementation.
The introduction of this program marks a significant milestone for Fastly and for advancing go-to-market value for its partners. It provides partners with opportunities to add value by delivering certified implementation services. For customers, this program offers greater flexibility and choice: they can now choose to have their Fastly security solutions implemented either by Fastly’s own professional services team or by a certified local partner.
