Exclusive Networks partners with Druva for SaaS data protection

Exclusive Networks has announced a new partnership with Druva to expand the growth of Software as a Service (SaaS) data protection solutions across the EMEA region.

This collaboration marks the introduction of Druva's Data Security Cloud Platform to the cybersecurity offerings provided by Exclusive Networks, aiming to enhance the company's data protection capabilities.

The value of data continues to rise alongside increased vulnerability to sophisticated cyberattacks. Organisations are currently facing an average financial impact of $4.45 million per data breach, despite anticipated increases in expenditure on security and risk management to $215 billion in 2024, according to analysts at Gartner Inc.

In contrast to modern needs, many firms still rely on outdated data protection mechanisms which may be inefficient and costly. The partnership between Druva and Exclusive Networks offers an opportunity for channel partners to provide a modern, SaaS-first, cloud-native platform designed for simplified and secure data management.

Druva's commitment to its channel partners is evident in several benefits, including a strong market demand as the leading cloud-native data security platform, high deployment velocity with installations completed in five minutes or less, and a $10 million Data Resiliency Guarantee. These attributes are designed to support partners in generating recurring revenue and maintaining high net revenue retention.

Paul Eccleston, Senior Vice President EMEA at Exclusive Networks, stated, "At Exclusive Networks we're on a mission to enable a totally trusted digital world and data security is a strategic cornerstone of this. Organisations are currently facing a huge data dilemma - how do they leverage data for business success while utilising, managing and protecting it across an increasingly disparate and complex IT landscape in the cloud, SaaS environments and on premises? With Druva's data security solution, partners can now solve this 'data dilemma' and address their customers' need for greater data security and resilience."

Ian Parslow, Senior Director for Partners and Distribution at Druva, expressed confidence in the partnership by saying, "Exclusive Networks' cybersecurity specialism and disruptive approach to innovative technologies makes them the ideal partner to help Druva challenge legacy data security methods, expand our reach and grow our business across EMEA."

"Their extensive partner ecosystem and proven track record of driving growth for innovative cloud-native solutions aligns perfectly with our mission to transform how customers protect and manage their data in the cloud era. We look forward to working with them and their partners to achieve mutual success."
