Digital certificate management company Sectigo has launched Private PQC, a feature that allows enterprises to issue and manage post-quantum cryptography (PQC) SSL/TLS certificates in their existing certificate operating environments, SiliconANGLE reported on April 14 local time.
The launch comes as Google and Cloudflare bring forward the deadline for transitioning to PQC to 2029. Sectigo sees many companies planning to allocate budgets to PQC initiatives within the next 12 months, but expects them to struggle to move from planning to execution because of fragmented legacy environments and overloaded security teams.
The company said Private PQC supports testing PQC certificates in real workflows without existing infrastructure, new tools or additional operational risk.
Users can manage PQC certificates alongside standard certificates within Sectigo Certificate Manager, while keeping corporate policies unchanged.
Henry Lam (헨리 램), Sectigo's field chief technology officer, said, "As major industry players bring forward PQC transition timelines, enterprises need a way to test quantum-resistant certificates in a controlled, low-risk manner before quantum threats become a reality."
