Networks United: Zero Networks and Exclusive Networks sign deal to expand European presence
This comes shortly after the vendor raised $55m to support its geographical expansion
Zero Networks has partnered with distie Exclusive Networks to expand its presence across Europe, with the UK and Ireland identified as strategic markets.
The new collaboration sees Exclusive Networks become the official distribution partner for Zero Networks’ cybersecurity solutions across the region.
Zero Networks offer a platform that combines microsegmentation, identity-based access control, and advanced zero trust network access (ZTNA) into a unified platform, as it aims to help organisations implement a zero trust architecture.
“[Zero Networks’] innovative approach to zero trust - particularly their plug-and-play microsegmentation and adaptive access controls - aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver disruptive, effective solutions to our partners,” said Rob Tomlin, VP of Northern Europe at Exclusive Networks.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to help organisations of all sizes secure their environments in a scalable and intelligent way.”
Adam Hofeler, VP of channel at Zero Networks, added: “Exclusive Networks is a powerhouse in cybersecurity distribution, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring our technology to more organisations across Europe.
“Their deep market expertise and commitment to innovation make them a fantastic ally in our mission to simplify and accelerate zero trust security adoption.”
This partnership comes three months after the Israeli cybersecurity company raised $55m (£40.7m) in a Series C funding.
The round was led by London-based private equity firm Highland Europe, with participation from investors F2 Venture Capital, PICO Venture Partners, US Venture Partners (USVP), and Venrock.
The investment was reportedly aimed at building the start-up’s presence across EMEA, North America, and APAC.
It also followed the organisation’s 300 per cent revenue increase since its last round of funding in 2023.
Exclusive has also doubled down on expanding its presence across Europe over the last 12 months.
In October 2024, the French distributor signed an agreement with Fortinet to deliver the organisation’s solutions across the Irish channel.
A month later, it became part of NetApp’s roster of disties in the UK and Ireland, and also inked a deal with data security vendor Druva to provide its services across 28 European countries.
In February 2025, the business signed two agreements with AWS; one to make Exclusive an authorised AWS distributor for the EEA and Switzerland, and another one to make Exclusive a part of the AWS designated seller of record (DSOR) programme.
In July, it expanded its portfolio in the Baltics with the buyout of Latvia-based distie DAN Distribution.
