Netskope has appointed Cloud Distribution in the UK to provide enterprise security to the channel. This follows the vendor's appointment of Exclusive as a European distributor last year.
The Netskope Active Platform addresses the enterprise security challenge by providing granular visibility and control of all cloud services being used in an organisation. Cloud Distribution has been signed to help grow its footprint in the UK by opening up additional markets and working with new partners. Cloud will provide marketing support and aims to reach new markets by recruiting cloud consultancy value added resellers (VARs). It works well with Box, Salesforce, Google Apps and Microsoft Office 365, it says.
“The usage of cloud services has exploded in the enterprise, but worryingly, the majority of these services are invisible to IT and pose a real threat to data protection. Netskope is a compelling and differentiated cloud offer and takes control of cloud usage,” said Adam Davison, Product and Marketing Director, Cloud Distribution. “This is a ballooning market opportunity and we will be working closely with partners to ensure they fully benefit from it. We’ll accelerate their go to market strategies with value add partner enablement services such as our new marketing portal, which enables partners to create a marketing campaign in under a minute leading to immediate lead generation and a rapid pipeline build. We have already created a Cloud Risk Assessment campaign and partner branded mailers that are readily available to partners today.”
Jonathan Mepsted, Managing Director, Netskope UK: “Cloud Distribution complements our ambition to further expand and enhance our market presence in the UK. The commitment of their staff, efficiency and quality of work to launch our new partnership has been hugely impressive.”
