IGEL, a global provider of adaptive secure endpoint solutions for modern digital workspaces, has announced a strategic partnership with Exclusive Networks, a worldwide cybersecurity go-to-market specialist. The collaboration is designed to strengthen IGEL’s position as a critical endpoint execution layer within Zero Trust and secure access frameworks while expanding its reach across global security-focused partner ecosystems.
Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL, emphasized the strategic importance of the alliance, noting that Exclusive Networks’ strong credibility across networking, security, and identity domains makes it an ideal partner. He highlighted that integrating IGEL into Exclusive Networks’ portfolio enables partners to deliver modern endpoint architectures built on immutability and zero local data principles enhancing operational consistency, improving security posture, and reducing the overall attack surface.
Jason Beal, President of Exclusive Networks North America, stated that the partnership aligns with the company’s mission to help partners achieve measurable cybersecurity outcomes across diverse customer environments. He added that IGEL introduces a security-focused endpoint layer that complements Exclusive Networks’ offerings, while its CyberLAB platform enables partners to validate integrated solutions and deploy them at scale with greater confidence. Through this agreement, Exclusive Networks will distribute IGEL’s solutions alongside its existing cybersecurity portfolio. This will allow solution providers to design and implement secure endpoint architectures across a variety of environments, including SaaS, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), secure enterprise browsers, and operational technology (OT)-adjacent use cases.
The partnership comes at a time when global spending on information security is projected to reach $323 billion by 2029, underscoring the growing demand for standardized and efficient endpoint security strategies. Industry research points to increasing challenges such as tool sprawl, configuration inconsistencies, and hybrid device environments, all of which expand attack surfaces and complicate IT operations.
A key component of the collaboration is Exclusive Networks’ CyberLAB a global testing and validation environment. Within CyberLAB, partners can evaluate how IGEL’s secure endpoint operating system functions within broader architectures such as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and secure SaaS environments. The platform provides clear visibility into interoperability, policy enforcement, and operational performance, helping partners accelerate deployment timelines and ensure repeatable success.
Phil Eden, Vice President of Channel for North America at IGEL, noted that Exclusive Networks brings a robust cybersecurity partner ecosystem and technical enablement capabilities that will support IGEL’s expansion goals, particularly in onboarding new security-focused partners and extending its value beyond traditional VDI use cases.
James Walters, Vice President of Vendor Portfolio and Alliances at Exclusive Networks North America, highlighted the company’s technical expertise and partner support infrastructure. He pointed to investments in their End User Centric Channel Services Platform, which includes demand generation, partner enablement, professional services, and lifecycle management designed to deliver consistent and scalable value to partners By joining Exclusive Networks’ global ecosystem, IGEL strengthens its role as a platform for secure, controlled endpoint environments across DaaS, SaaS, VDI, OT/IoT, and secure enterprise browsing. Combining IGEL’s Preventative Security Model with Exclusive Networks’ cybersecurity portfolio enables partners to deliver differentiated, Zero Trust-based solutions.
Additionally, Exclusive Networks will provide a dedicated support team trained on IGEL technologies. This team will work closely with IGEL’s Customer Success organization to accelerate partner onboarding, improve deployment quality, and ensure consistent service delivery. Together, the two companies aim to help organizations reduce cyber risk, enforce consistent security policies, and achieve predictable, measurable security outcomes across increasingly complex IT environments.
