CYBERSECURITY | Exclusive Networks, Forescout Technologies form new distribution partnership to expand PH presence
Exclusive Networks completes cybersecurity and cloud transformation portfolio for Internet of Things (IoT).
Exclusive Networks, the value-added services and technologies (VAST) group, today announced an agreement with Forescout Technologies to strengthen channel growth in the Philippines. This partnership enables Exclusive Networks to offer Forescout security solutions, which completes its Internet of Things (IoT) portfolio in core markets, cybersecurity and cloud.
According to IDC, IoT spending is expected to reach $745 billion in 2019, up by 15.4 percent over the $646 billion spent in 2018. This spend is expected primarily from consumer, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities sectors. Today, IP-connected devices are being implemented into enterprise networks without security protocol, exposing networks to threats, such as unauthorized access to sensitive information or business disruption.
The Forescout platform delivers device visibility and control to mitigate risk, reduce the attack surface and automate incident response for campus, data center, cloud and operational technology (OT) environments. The industry-leading visibility platform features both passive and active monitoring, cloud-based device intelligence, IoT risk assessment, and device intelligence dashboards.
“By partnering with Exclusive Networks, organizations in the Philippines now have access to a security solution that provides comprehensive visibility to help manage the influx of network-connected devices,” said Wahab Yusoff, regional director, Asia, Forescout Technologies, Inc. “We are excited about this partnership and our growth into the Philippines as it expands our presence in the region.”
“We are delighted to welcome Forescout onboard and their renowned technology team whose expertise will be invaluable in building the Exclusive Networks business in the local market,” said Renato Garcia, country manager of Exclusive Networks Philippines.
Exclusive Networks, a subsidiary of Exclusive Group, is centered on a ‘global-local’ value model that exceeds both the scale of local VAD (Value-Added Distributor) specialists and the general approach of global broad line distributors. This has brought unprecedented success for more than a decade by targeting two core markets (cybersecurity and cloud transformation) with very high growth profiles.
