Exclusive Networks launches Netskope managed services across EMEA

French distie also becomes a Netskope global authorised training partner

Exclusive Networks has launched Netskope managed services across EMEA to help partners “unlock the full potential of their cloud journey.”

The US vendor’s managed services will provide firms with two different offerings; Netskope managed services for up to 10K users, and custom Netskope managed services, in an effort to offer partners tailored services depending on their requirements.

In addition to the deal, the French distributor has been accredited as a global Netskope authorised training partner to support the vendor’s customers’ education and ability to expand their cybersecurity services businesses.

Exclusive will offer public and private classes to partners onsite and online.

This collaboration will also aim to support customers who deal with management overhead, wider security and compliance lens, cost control and ROI delivery, and user experience when managing their secure access service edge (SASE) deployments.

Cloud-native architecture SASE is becoming more and more popular, as it is designed to equip firms with a simple and scalable way to stop threats and prevent unauthorised access to apps and data.

“In today’s dynamic IT environment, simply deploying the platform isn’t enough,” said Paul Eccleston, SVP EMEA at Exclusive Networks.

“Keeping policies updated, features optimised, and leveraging its full potential requires ongoing expertise.

“Our Netskope managed services and authorised training services address this requirement, enabling our partners to provide the management and support that their customers need to truly thrive in the cloud.”

Michael Herman, vice president EMEA & LATAM channel sales at Netskope, added: “Netskope is a proven leader in cloud, data, and network security with our unified platform.

“By consolidating security into one client, one gateway, and one network, we enable partners to deliver significant cost savings and powerfully simplified architecture for their customers.

“Exclusive Networks' Netskope managed services and authorised training services now take this value proposition to the next level, providing partners and their customers with complete peace of mind and unlocking the full potential of their cloud journey.”

This new partnership follows the distie’s recent acquisition of SASE specialist Cloudrise.

This is also not the first time the company boosted its presence in Europe this year, as it entered Ireland with the acquisition of Fortinet in October and signed two distribution deals with vendors Druva and Gigamon last month.
