Exclusive Networks Turns on Ignition to Accelerate SecurityScorecard Across EMEA

Enables channel partners to address market need for cybersecurity ratings, helping organisations improve visibility, mitigate risk and accelerate decision making

PARIS, FRANCE – 6th April 2022 – Exclusive Networks, a global trusted cybersecurity specialist for digital infrastructure, has been appointed the first pan-EMEA value-added distribution partner for SecurityScorecard, the global leader in cybersecurity ratings. Exclusive will take SecurityScorecard to market through its Ignition Technology arm, a specialist distribution engine for accelerating early stage and scaleup Saas based cybersecurity vendors.

The agreement gives sole pan-EMEA distribution rights to SecurityScorecard’s innovative cybersecurity risk rating platform, enabling channel partners to provide customers with a comprehensive and continuous view of their cybersecurity environments, rate their risk profile, access expert guidance and harden their security posture. Ignition Technology will spearhead partner recruitment, enablement and market demand across the UK&I, France, Middle East, Nordics, Baltics and Benelux. Other markets will be covered by regional Exclusive Networks teams including DACH, Iberia, Italy and Turkey.

“Managing an organisation’s cyber risk has never been more critical,” explained Sean Remnant, Chief Strategy Officer at Ignition Technology. “Attack surfaces have grown exponentially as companies have moved to a remote-first working model. At the same time cyber attacks have significantly increased in velocity, intensity and sophistication. The ability to comprehensively and continuously monitor, assess and address your cybersecurity posture is a game changer in helping build cyber resilience, mitigate risk and deliver peace of mind. With SecurityScorecard channel partners now have an additional weapon in their cyber armoury to deliver even more value to their customers.”

“The evolving geopolitical landscape is causing CISOs throughout Europe to reevaluate their cybersecurity postures, requiring them to have greater visibility across their attack surface than ever before,” said Jan Bau, VP, EMEA Sales, at SecurityScorecard. “As the threat landscape expands, Exclusive Networks’ expertise in helping disruptive cybersecurity solutions like SecurityScorecard breakthrough in EMEA will dramatically scale the number of European organisations that will be able to instantly improve their security postures through much needed data, visibility and insights.”
