e92plus have announced a partnership with iboss, a leader in cloud delivered network security, to grow their partner community and take their industry-leading, SASE cloud network security services to market to secure organisations and their employees on any device, from any location, in the cloud.
iboss recently announced it has raised $145 million in new funding, supporting the company’s rapid growth as organizations increasingly recognize iboss as the leading provider of cutting-edge network security through the cloud. With iboss' success also recognised by leading analysts, the company is the ideal place as COVID-19 accelerates the ongoing shift to cloud-based cybersecurity providers.
The iboss cloud platform eliminates the need for traditional network security appliances by delivering all of the network security capabilities in the cloud via a SaaS offering. iboss ensures a smoother and more seamless transition to the cloud than any other security vendor on the market with its cutting-edge technology and unique patented containerized cloud architecture. Users are always connected to iboss cloud, regardless of device or location, to ensure all Internet traffic is secured for compliance, web filtering, malware defence and data loss at all times.
“The market has rapidly changed in 2020, and we’ve seen organisations migrate to the cloud in weeks rather than years” comments Mukesh Gupta, CEO and Founder of e92plus. “These rapid changes have emphasised the need for a cloud first approach, and the iboss approach provides an exciting addition to our portfolio, especially their ability for customers to retain control through containers while leveraging the agility and performance benefits of a cloud native platform”.
“The market is embracing a cloud-first approach, and we’re excited to be working with e92plus accelerate cloud adoption and help channel partners simplify cloud-based network security for customers of all sizes. For Zero Trust and SASE models, the iboss platform provides the perfect foundation. This enables users to be the most productive as they work from any location by providing the necessary fast and secure connections to the cloud applications they use every day,” said Paul Martini, iboss Co-founder and CEO. “e92plus will help iboss scale in UK&I as channel partners assist their customers in establishing and executing against a zero-trust strategy and SASE model to support today’s evolving workplace.”
The benefits and potential savings of using iboss have been highlighted in a report this year, produced in partnership with IDC 1. Key highlights included:
- 37% lower 3-year cost of operations
- 275% 3-year ROI
- 4 months payback period
The report also found that “iboss cloud was light years ahead of what we were using in terms of security functionality. The price factor was also important – when it came to iboss versus the other solutions we considered, iboss was a lot more affordable.” 1
“For our partner community, iboss enables them to help their customers break from free on-premise restrictions and embrace the scale and flexibility of the cloud” explains Mukesh Gupta. “Increasingly customers are looking at alternatives to legacy VPNs or on-premise gateways that require unnecessary data backhaul and additional complexity. The iboss cloud-first approach offers an exciting new approach to cloud security and Zero Trust Network Access, and a vendor that’s highly ranked by leading analysts yet offers fantastic opportunity for growth. The major investment in them validates the huge potential for the company, and why they represent a significant opportunity for partners looking to replace legacy solutions”.
