As security teams increasingly turn to AI-powered defenses, they’re realizing that even the best models are sidelined by poor data, making it impossible to detect or stop threats with confidence. ExtraHop addresses this directly with its industry-leading NDR platform, which decrypts and decodes network traffic in real-time and at scale, to provide the foundational context the agentic SOC needs to act with speed and precision.
Through the expanded partnership with Exclusive Networks, these powerful capabilities are now more accessible than ever, equipping enterprises with the insight needed to stay ahead of threats that don’t slow down.
“In an era of machine-speed attacks, a lack of network context isn’t just a gap, it’s a catastrophic blind spot that renders even the most advanced SOCs ineffective,” said Greg LaBelle, VP of Americas Channels, ExtraHop. “ExtraHop restores the advantage to the defender, acting as the definitive intelligence layer for the autonomous, agentic SOC. Through our partnership with Exclusive Networks, we have access to a world-class global distribution network to put these capabilities into the hands of those who need them most. Every organization deserves this level of clarity, and together, we are making it the new standard.”
The expansion builds on a successful history of collaboration between ExtraHop and Exclusive Networks in the EMEA and APJ regions. In these markets, the partnership has enabled customers to significantly accelerate threat response by eliminating visibility gaps within encrypted network traffic. By surfacing real-time network traffic and protocol-level insights, enterprises have been able to expose and neutralize threats across complex hybrid environments, establishing a proven blueprint for modern network defense.
“Globally, ExtraHop’s network intelligence has redefined how our enterprise customers detect and respond to sophisticated threats,” said James Walters, VP, Vendor Portfolio & Alliances, North America, Exclusive Networks. “As the threat landscape grows more complex, the value of intelligence only increases. By powering agentic security operations, ExtraHop delivers the exact outcome our North American partners and customers are looking for.”
