Technology Service Provider Axians UK has been awarded Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) accreditation from Netskope, reflecting their technical expertise and operational capabilities across Netskope’s comprehensive security and networking stack.
Netskope provides one of the most credible and sought-after solutions in the cybersecurity marketplace, currently marked as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrants for both Single-Vendor Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE), as well as the Forrester Wave Security Service Edge report. The company has refined its MSSP partner program over the past 18 months to identify and certify only the most capable service providers.
The MSSP accreditation requires partners to demonstrate complete self-sufficiency and technical mastery of Netskope’s solutions. Axians UK’s passing of these rigorous requirements, proves its ability to design, deploy, and operationally manage the full Netskope stack for enterprise and public sector organisations.
Chris Gilmour, CTO of Axians UK, commented:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to achieve this accreditation – it’s a testament to the extensive work our teams have undertaken behind the scenes. This recognition enables us to optimise our managed services offerings and provide our customers with the financial flexibility they need through subscription-based procurement models. It acknowledges the growing enterprise preference for subscription services while validating our technical capabilities with one of the world’s premier security vendors. What truly sets Axians apart, though, is our people – their deep expertise, collaborative spirit, and customer-first mindset are the driving force behind our continued success”.
The SASE approach represents the next generation of network and security convergence, moving organisations away from legacy perimeter-based models toward comprehensive cloud-native solutions. This evolution is particularly critical as hybrid work environments have permanently shifted the security paradigm, requiring solutions that can secure users and data regardless of location while treating remote workers as seamlessly as those in traditional office environments.
Stephen Mesguich, Senior Vice president for EMEA and LATAM at Netskope, commented:
“Axians UK has demonstrated exceptional technical expertise and a deep understanding of how to deliver secure, scalable solutions for modern enterprises. By achieving MSSP accreditation, Axians joins an extremely select group of partners capable of delivering the full Netskope SASE stack through innovative, flexible service models. Together, we’re enabling customers to accelerate their cloud transformation while maintaining the highest levels of both security and user experience.”
