Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a global leader in edge cloud platforms, has unveiled the Fastly Certified Services Partner Program, a new initiative aimed at equipping technical security professionals at partner organizations with advanced training and certification to implement and manage the company’s security solutions.
The program comes at a time when 72% of executives report a rise in cyber threats, driving demand for trusted security expertise and certified implementation partners.
Fastly trains partners to tackle AI-driven threats
Designed as a self-guided program, the certification allows participants to deepen their knowledge of the company’s security tools while earning credentials at their own pace. Partners who complete the program gain access to exclusive resources, including early insights into Fastly’s innovation roadmap, invitations to technical labs and webinars, and ongoing educational content.
“Equipping our partners with advanced training and certification enables them to expand their service portfolios, create new revenue streams, and deliver greater value to their clients,” said Jeff Alpen, VP of Global Partnerships at Fastly. “The Fastly Certified Services Partner Program is a pivotal step in strengthening our global channel ecosystem and enhancing value for both customers and partners.”
For partner organizations, the program opens opportunities to deliver certified implementation services, while giving customers greater choice and flexibility: they can now have the company’s security solutions implemented either by Fastly’s professional services team or a certified local partner. Upon completion, organizations earn the “Certified Services Partner” designation, and individual participants receive the title of “Certified Professional for Security Implementation.”
Ben Trafton, VP of Client Services at Yottaa, highlighted the program’s value: “Fastly’s new certification program reinforces our partnership and empowers our team with the technical knowledge needed to deliver exceptional results for our customers. It’s a unique benefit that enhances our go-to-market capabilities.”
