Building stronger cybersecurity outcomes together

The cybersecurity landscape across the Nordics is evolving rapidly. Organizations are facing increasing pressure to modernize security operations, reduce complexity, and respond faster to threats, all while navigating growing regulatory demands and persistent skills shortages.

At the same time, partners are being asked to do more than ever before. Customers no longer want isolated technologies or transactional relationships. They want trusted advisors, integrated solutions, and measurable security outcomes.

That’s why Rapid7 is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Exclusive Networks across the Nordic region.

Expanding beyond a traditional distributor agreement,  this collaborative growth framework is designed to help partners scale faster, deepen cybersecurity expertise, and deliver greater value to customers across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the Baltics.

The modern channel ecosystem is built on collaboration. That means success today depends on bringing together the right technology, expertise, and enablement model to support customers at every stage of their cybersecurity journey. Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks share that philosophy.

Exclusive Networks has built a strong reputation as a cybersecurity-focused specialist with extensive regional reach, deep local expertise, and a partner-first approach. Together, Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks are creating a framework that prioritizes long-term ecosystem growth over short-term transactions.

“This partnership is about creating long-term value for partners and customers alike,” said Mike Ryan, Head of Distribution, EMEA at Rapid7. “The Nordic market is a highly advanced, partner-driven region and increasingly focused on outcome-based cybersecurity. Exclusive Networks’ cybersecurity specialization and regional expertise make them an ideal strategic partner as we continue investing in growth across the region.”

Supporting the next generation of security operations

Cybersecurity teams are increasingly seeking platforms and services that unify visibility, simplify operations, and enhance response capabilities without adding complexity.

Rapid7’s AI-powered cybersecurity operations platform helps organizations strengthen cyber resilience through integrated exposure management, threat detection, and managed services capabilities. Combined with Exclusive Networks’ regional enablement and go-to-market scale, the partnership is designed to accelerate adoption of modern security operations across the Nordics.

Local expertise meets global scale

One of the defining strengths of the Nordics market is its combination of innovation maturity and local market nuance – customers expect both global capability and localized expertise. ThIS balance is central to the Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks approach.

Exclusive Networks operates a global-local model that combines international scale with in-country support, language capabilities, and regional cybersecurity specialization. This enables partners and customers across the Nordics to access consistent cybersecurity expertise while benefiting from local engagement and market understanding.

“Organizations across the Nordics are demanding security solutions that are open, scalable, and capable of delivering measurable operational outcomes,” said Rob Tomlin, Vice President Northern Europe at Exclusive Networks. “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.”

Building momentum together

Strong partnerships are not defined by the number of deals completed. They’re defined by shared goals, transparency, enablement, and trust. That’s the foundation Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks are building together across the Nordics.

As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, both Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks remain committed to helping partners and customers navigate complexity with confidence, accelerate innovation, and strengthen resilience for the future.
