Zero Networks and Exclusive Networks Expand Partnership into DACH, Completing Europe-Wide Alliance

We’re proud to announce the expansion of Zero Networks’ strategic partnership with Exclusive Networks, a globally trusted cybersecurity specialist and value-added distributor, into the DACH region. As part of this collaboration, Exclusive Networks becomes the official distribution partner for Zero Networks’ cybersecurity solutions across all of Europe, enabling partners and customers to contain attacks and stop lateral movement with automated, identity-driven microsegmentation. 

Zero Networks combines three core security capabilities — microsegmentation, identity-based access control, and secure remote access — into a single, unified platform, purpose-built for security by design. This enables organizations to implement a true Zero Trust architecture that prevents lateral movement, materially reduces blast radius, and strengthens operational resilience by keeping incidents contained and services running. At the same time, Zero Networks helps organizations meet NIS2 and DORA requirements for granular access controls, network segmentation, and continuous risk reduction — while supporting cyber-insurance expectations for demonstrable containment and resilience, not just detection. 

Helge Scherff, General Manager of Exclusive Networks Germany and Regional Vice President Central Europe, commented:

Zero Networks is an ideal addition to our cybersecurity portfolio in the DACH region. Zero Networks’ strong channel focus aligns perfectly with our partner-first strategy. With its innovative Zero Trust approach—particularly plug-and-play microsegmentation and adaptive access controls—we are able to offer our partners powerful, future-ready solutions

Adam Hofeler, VP Sales & GTM, Zero Networks, added:

As a leading cybersecurity distributor, Exclusive Networks DACH plays a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of game-changing security technologies. Their deep regional expertise and extensive reach across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland enable organizations to leverage automated microsegmentation, contain threats by design, reduce risk, ensure operational continuity, and simplify compliance while building true operational resilience.

Helge Scherff, General Manager of Exclusive Networks Germany and Regional Vice President Central Europe, also added: 

Of particular interest is the close integration between Zero Networks and Palo Alto Networks.
