Exclusive Networks, the value-added security and technology (VAST) company, has announced new partnerships with Imperva and LogRhythm that have been forged in response to the growing cybersecurity maturity of Asian markets.
The company also recently acquired Transition Systems Asia, a value-added distributor, as part of its expansion into Asia, including the Philippines.
In the Philippines, the importance of securing citizens against cyber threats is strongly emphasized in the “National Cybersecurity Plan 2022”. This five-year strategy from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) seeks to raise the country’s cybersecurity awareness and capabilities to global standards.
In crafting the plan, DICT recognizes the importance of protecting every single internet user as well as the Philippines' critical information infrastructure (CII), government networks, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and big businesses and corporations.
Disruptive Distribution
By expanding its operations in Asia and the Philippines, in particular, Exclusive Networks is using its unique capabilities to enhance the region’s cybersecurity posture and foster its own transformative strategy through traditional distribution channels.
Exclusive Networks accelerates market entry and growth for innovative cybersecurity, networking and infrastructure technologies. It works with thousands of reseller companies around the world to boost their business opportunities in cybersecurity and achieve new revenue streams within the changing technology landscape.
Renowned as the ‘go-to’ VAD partner for
disruptive cybersecurity technologies,
Exclusive Networks continually challenges traditional VAD models, redefining value and creating differentiation. It promotes ‘Disruptive Distribution’, responding to new demands and prospects driven by more than entrepreneurial spirit.
Exclusive Networks thoroughly screens and analyses hot new vendors before taking the best on-board. Its extensive knowledge of the market allows it to understand emerging trends and opportunities which its partners can then convert into profit-making businesses.
One prominent advantage of this unique disruption of the supply chain is that each national and regional Exclusive Networks business unit is free to react to its own instincts, applying its market experience and cultural awareness, without beingconstrained by bureaucratic hierarchies. These units are easier to do business with and act faster than other resellers.
