Pulse Secure, the provider of software-defined Secure Access solutions, announces a new distribution partnership with SecureWave, a data security and IT infrastructure value added distributor, to grow its sales channel across the Israel to meet accelerating demand for Zero Trust access security.

SecureWave, part of the Exclusive Networks Group is present in more than 30 countries around the world, and maintains an active community of more than 350 partners. The company will offer the integrated portfolio of Pulse Secure solutions, including virtual private network (VPN), software defined perimeter (SDP), network access control (NAC), and virtual application delivery controllers (ADC).

Sales and technical enablement

SecureWave will support Pulse Secure partners with sales and technical enablement

The agreement will include Pulse Secure’s Zero Trust-based Access Suite which delivers protected connectivity, operational intelligence and threat response across mobile, network and cloud environments.

Pulse Secure has been a driving force behind the adoption of Zero Trust Secure Access and we look forward to helping our channel partners to benefit from its visionary position through our expertise, knowledge and experience within this market,” says Moran Gerassi, CEO for SecureWave. As part of the new distribution agreement, SecureWave will support Pulse Secure partners with sales and technical enablement, lead generation and a full educational programme.

Global distributor network

SecureWave is a highly respected distributor that is well suited to help us expand and support our partner community to match our growing solution portfolio,” said Laurent Delattre, Sales South EMEA for Pulse Secure, “The addition of SecureWave to our global distributor network is a recognition that the move to Zero Trust is prompting significant change in the security landscape and provides a major and untapped opportunity for the channel to capitalise upon.”

The Zero Trust security market size is projected to grow from USD 15.6 billion in 2019 to USD 38.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 19.9% from 2019 to 2024 according to MarketsandMarkets Research. Pulse Secure’s Zero Trust focus is delivered with the Pulse Access Suites.

Virtual application delivery controller

This approach extends the company’s foundation of Zero Trust access for hybrid IT with enhanced usability

The Suites provide remote, mobile, cloud, network and application security with comprehensive VPN, mobile device management (MDM), single sign-on (SSO), endpoint and IOT device security, network access control (NAC) and virtual application delivery controller (ADC) functionality.

Pulse SDP is a Suite add-on which activates software defined perimeter (SDP) components within existing Pulse solutions to provide direct device-to-application trusted connectivity only after successful user, device and security state verification. This approach extends the company’s foundation of Zero Trust access for hybrid IT with enhanced usability, deployment flexibility, automated provisioning and resource optimisation.

In November, Pulse Secure won the Software Defined Vendor of the Year at CRN Channel Awards 2019 recognising its development of new software defined technologies to help the channel meet growing demand for Zero Trust security.
