Exclusive Networks Signs Partnership with BitSight to Accelerate Cyber Risk Management Adoption Across EMEA

Solutions enable channel partners to address their customers’ cyber risk and security posture

PARIS – 31 March, 2023 – Exclusive Networks, a globally trusted cybersecurity specialist for digital infrastructure, today announced its EMEA partnership with BitSight, a leader in cybersecurity ratings and analytics. The partnership will see Exclusive accelerate BitSight’s presence across the region and introduce its solutions to new markets, enabling Exclusive’s partners to address their customers’ cyber risk exposure, improve their IT roadmap and provide greater visibility into their security posture.

BitSight provides trusted, independently validated, cybersecurity ratings and analytics to the world’s leading companies, government agencies, investors, and insurance providers. BitSight’s solutions help security professionals identify gaps and measurably improve performance of their cybersecurity programmes, understanding and remediating cyber risk from third-party vendors, supply chains, and business partners. With a clear, strategic, and data-driven response to modern cyber challenges, customers achieve faster time to resolution, better resource management and insight-led decision making.

Today, risk managers are increasingly expected to balance speed, scalability, and accuracy while relying on slow assessment processes, subjective third-party data, and restricted and inconsistent insights from manual reports. And with many EMEA organisations deeply concerned about rising security breaches due to poor visibility across growing supply chain landscapes, limited control, and an inability to properly manage third-party risk, this is an immediate and growing challenge and a significant opportunity for channel partners to address.

“BitSight is another great addition to Exclusive’s growing ecosystem of cybersecurity vendors,” commented Denis Ferrand-Ajchenbaum, SVP Global Business Development and Ecosystems at Exclusive Networks. “They are the global leader in the Security Ratings space with an impressive set of data analytics partners, such as Moody’s. With BitSight, channel partners can address the growing challenges customers face around security performance and third-party risk by helping leaders make better risk decisions with data. By identifying where they may be exposed, partners can help improve their customers’ overall cybersecurity posture. This not only gives partners a competitive advantage but also creates sales opportunities for complementary solutions and services. We are delighted to be partnering with BitSight and look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.”

“BitSight is delighted to be working with Exclusive Networks as we look to scale our channel presence across EMEA,” commented John Nelson, SVP Global Channels & Partnerships at BitSight. “As part of our global expansion of the BitSight partner programme into international markets, Exclusive Networks will play a key role in our growth strategy in 2023 and beyond.”

“Exclusive Networks is a key part of our business approach, distribution strategy and expansion in the EMEA region,” said Xavier Artiguebieille, SVP EMEA Sales at BitSight. “This partnership will enhance our relationships with businesses and organisations across the region and expand our partner community to reach new customers.”
