Forescout and NEXTGEN Group Extend Partnership Agreement
SINGAPORE – 29 February 2024: Forescout, a global cybersecurity leader, and NEXTGEN Group, a top-tier value-added distributor of choice for vendors in the ASEAN region, jointly announce an expansion of their partnership. This new agreement now encompasses distribution operations in Singapore and the Philippines, building upon their current partnership which focused on Australia and New Zealand. This strategic move underscores the escalating demand for fortified cybersecurity solutions within the region, emphasizing the commitment to augment accessibility to reliable cyber-defense measures.
“It’s a great time for partners to get involved with Forescout as it’s clear that the best is yet to come. At NEXTGEN, we are thrilled to work with the world’s leading enterprise software providers, and our people are excited to deliver further growth for Forescout in Singapore and the Philippines,” said Wendy O’Keeffe, EVP Asia, NEXTGEN Group. “Customers are looking to consolidate the number of vendors they work with and Forescout’s strategic vision and expanding portfolio are attracting a lot of interest from customers and partners.
“The strategy we employed with NEXTGEN Group was working in Australia and New Zealand, so we’re eager to replicate the vision and strong execution into the Southeast Asian market,” said Sukhbir Sandhu, Director of Regional Sales – ASEAN at Forescout. “NEXTGEN’s agile business model and extensive cybersecurity services challenge the status quo and complement the Forescout commitment to provide the most comprehensive cybersecurity capabilities available on the market.”
