Fastly Certified Services Partner Program

Seventy-two percent 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.”

“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.”

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.

Upon successful completion of the training, partner organizations will earn the designation of “Fastly Certified Services Partner,” and individual participants will become a “Fastly Certified Professional for Security Implementation.” This security track is part of Fastly’s ongoing certification program, underscoring the company’s commitment to continuously enhancing its partners’ go-to-market success through continuing enablement resources.
