New agreement strengthens partner enablement, accelerates cybersecurity adoption, and expands customer access across the Nordics
Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a global leader in AI-powered managed cybersecurity operations, today announced a new strategic distribution partnership with Exclusive Networks, a global cybersecurity specialist focused on digital infrastructure. Through the agreement, Exclusive Networks will serve as Rapid7’s strategic distribution partner across the Nordic region, helping accelerate partner growth, cybersecurity adoption, and customer success across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the Baltics.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to building a stronger, more collaborative cybersecurity ecosystem across Northern Europe, combining Rapid7’s industry-leading security operations platform with Exclusive Networks’ extensive regional channel reach, cybersecurity specialization, and enablement capabilities.
The Nordics represent a rapidly evolving cybersecurity market where organizations are increasingly looking for unified solutions that reduce complexity while improving resilience. Together, Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks aim to simplify how partners deliver modern security operations capabilities to customers while creating new opportunities for scalable growth.
Exclusive Networks brings a significant regional footprint to the partnership, including operations across five Nordic countries, more than 550 reseller relationships, and deep expertise in cybersecurity-focused go-to-market execution.
This partnership is about creating long-term value for partners and customers alike. The Nordic market is a highly advanced, partner driven region and increasingly focused on outcome-based cybersecurity. Exclusive Networks’ deep regional expertise, cybersecurity specialization, and commitment to partner enablement make them an ideal strategic distributor for Rapid7 as we continue investing in growth across the region. Mike Ryan, Head of Distribution, EMEA, Rapid7
The collaboration will focus on expanding channel capacity, increasing technical enablement, and accelerating go-to-market execution across Rapid7’s cybersecurity portfolio. The companies will work together to support strategic partners, managed security service providers (MSSPs), and ecosystem-led growth opportunities throughout the Nordics and broader Northern Europe region.
Rapid7 is a fantastic addition to our cybersecurity ecosystem. Organizations across the Nordics are demanding security solutions that are open, scalable, and capable of delivering measurable operational outcomes. By combining Rapid7’s innovation in exposure management and managed detection and response with Exclusive Networks’ local market expertise and channel-first execution model, we can help partners grow faster while delivering stronger security outcomes for customers. Rob Tomlin, Vice President Northern Europe at Exclusive Networks
The partnership will also emphasize partner enablement and scalable services, helping partners build deeper cybersecurity practices and deliver value across the entire customer lifecycle. Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks share the same philosophy around ecosystem-driven growth, where long-term success is built through collaboration, specialization, and measurable customer outcomes rather than transactional relationships alone.
