Exclusive Networks wins top awards from Palo Alto Networks

Exclusive Networks has received multiple awards from Palo Alto Networks across the APAC and EMEA regions for its performance during Fiscal Year 2024.

The awards highlight Exclusive Networks' effectiveness in providing cybersecurity solutions tailored to regional needs, with notable wins such as Malaysia's Distributor Excellence Award and Indonesia's FY24 Best Commercial Distributor Award.

Recognition was not limited to APAC, as Exclusive Networks also gained accolades in the EMEA and LATAM regions. The company was named EMEA and LATAM Distributor of the Year FY24 for SASE, in addition to regional awards in Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy. Further honours include the Authorised Support Centre of the Year and Authorised Training Partner of the Year for EMEA.

Exclusive Networks describes its "global scale, local sale" approach as key to their success, combining international resources with local expertise. This strategy supports partners and customers in managing the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Exclusive Networks operates locally across the Asia-Pacific region, with teams based in more than 15 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The timing of these awards is significant as the Asia-Pacific region experiences increasing cyberattack threats. A report by Check Point Research in 2023 noted APAC had the highest increase in cyberattacks globally during the first quarter of the prior year. Predictions suggest ransomware attacks will occur every 2 seconds by 2031, emphasising the urgency of robust digital security measures.

The rapid digital transformation of businesses, often with insufficient attention to security, has increased vulnerabilities. The World Economic Forum expects the global cost of cybercrime to escalate from USD $8.4 trillion in 2022 to over USD $23 trillion by 2027, with APAC expected to shoulder a significant portion of these losses.

Jon Shortland, Global Vendor Director for Palo Alto Networks at Exclusive Networks, stated, "Being honoured with these awards from Palo Alto Networks is a huge recognition of the effort our teams put in every day to create impactful and scalable solutions for our partners and their customers. Our relentless focus on tailored solutions and service excellence enables us to bring world-class cybersecurity to our partners, helping them build more secure, future-proofed offerings to their customers."

Exclusive Networks offers a range of services beyond traditional distribution, including deep technical support and solutions that empower partners to meet security demands. With a presence in over 170 countries, the company strives to meet diverse market needs while benefiting from a global network.

The company's mission focuses on supporting partners, businesses, and vendors to scale with confidence and meet evolving security challenges through innovative solutions. Exclusive Networks aims to extend its impact, particularly in the APAC region, which is emerging as a focal point for combating cybercrime.
