Netskope, a global leader in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), has also accredited Exclusive Networks as a Global Netskope Authorised Training Partner to support Netskope partners’ education and ability to expand their cybersecurity services businesses. The news follows Exclusive Networks’ recent announcement of the acquisition of 100% of Cloudrise, a security services provider specialising in SASE Managed Services and Professional Services with advanced Netskope expertise.

Customers face four key challenges in managing their SASE deployments: Complexity and extra management overhead, a wider security and compliance lens, cost control and ROI delivery, and user experience. Driven by the adoption of secure work-from-anywhere and maturing cloud strategies, organisations are increasingly choosing a SASE architecture as a simple and scalable way to stop threats, prevent unauthorised access to apps and data, and guarantee network performance. 

Designed to empower partners to help their customers maximise the value of the Netskope One platform, Exclusive Networks Managed Services and Authorised Training Services will deliver best practices for ongoing Netskope monitoring and management, ensuring optimal security posture and business results, so customers can focus on optimising their business operations.

“The Netskope One platform offers unparalleled protection and superior performance for SaaS, IaaS, and web applications,” said Paul Eccleston, SVP EMEA at Exclusive Networks. “However, in today’s dynamic IT environment, simply deploying the platform isn’t enough. 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.”

Eccleston added, "This launch positions Exclusive Networks as a one-stop shop for everything Netskope, from its industry-leading SSE and SASE platform to its lightning-fast NewEdge network. Not only are we empowering our partners to deliver a complete Netskope experience for their customers, but we’re also simplifying the process for them, ultimately making it easier for them to sell and deliver the Netskope One platform and maximise their customers’ ROI."

“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,” said Michael Herman, Vice President EMEA & LATAM Channel Sales at Netskope. “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.”
