Regional Field CTO, Office of the CTO
Tim McAllister is Regional Field CTO in DigiCert's Office of the CTO. He works with device makers, energy and EV-charging providers, and critical-infrastructure operators to build trust into connected products from manufacture through decommissioning. His focus includes device identity and compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED). He also writes and speaks about the major changes coming to PKI and digital trust, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and AI trust.
Tim is active in the standards bodies that shape these markets, including SAE's EV Public Key Infrastructure (EVPKI) program, CharIN, NIST, and the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), where he works on Matter and the CSA Product Security Working Group. He serves on the Policy Authority for the SAE EVPKI consortium.
Before DigiCert, Tim was Vice President of Business Development at Mocana, which DigiCert later acquired and whose TrustCore SDK is now open source. He has over 20 years of experience bringing security to enterprise as well as medical, industrial, energy and automotive systems.
