New agreement strengthens partner enablement, accelerates cybersecurity adoption, and expands customer access across the UK
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 go-to-market specialist. Through the agreement, Exclusive Networks will act as Rapid7’s strategic
distribution partner across the UK, helping accelerate partner growth, cybersecurity adoption, and customer success.
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 specialisation, and enablement capabilities.
The UK represents a rapidly evolving cybersecurity market where organisations 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 Northern Europe, with 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 UK market is a highly advanced, partner driven region and increasingly focused on outcome-based cybersecurity. Exclusive Networks’ deep regional expertise, cybersecurity specialisation, 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 next phase of cybersecurity growth won't come from selling more point products. It will come from helping customers simplify security operations and make better decisions, faster. Customers don't need more tools; they need platforms that help them see more, respond faster and reduce risk with confidence. That's why Rapid7 is such a great addition to our portfolio. Together, we're giving partners the technology and expertise they need to build more strategic security practices and deliver better outcomes for customers Neil Brosnan, Vendor Alliances Director at Exclusive Networks UK
The partnership will also emphasise 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, specialisation, and measurable customer outcomes rather than transactional
relationships alone.
