ExtraHop extends partnership with Ignition Technology to expand in Nordics and Benelux regions
ExtraHop is expanding into the Nordics and Benelux markets – a strategic move the company says strengthens its European footprint on the heels of a period of significant enterprise growth.
Following a strong 2024 in which ExtraHop more than doubled its sales to Global 2000 customers in EMEA, the company is bringing its
momentum to two of the continent’ s most dynamic markets housing global enterprise headquarters and a thriving ecosystem of worldclass tech innovators.
To introduce its industry-leading NDR platform to the Nordics and Benelux regions, ExtraHop is extending its distribution agreement with Ignition Technology, a specialist in SaaS-based cybersecurity. Building upon the partnership’ s success in the UK and France, the expansion will address growing demand in northern and western Europe, helping customers stay ahead of emerging threats with complete network visibility and context.
Andy Philpott, VP, EMEA, ExtraHop, said:“ In the Benelux and Nordics regions, major global enterprises are being targeted by stealthy threats that bypass traditional defences and move laterally to inflict maximum damage – a challenge that can only be met with the unrivalled visibility ExtraHop offers. With the on-the-ground support and expertise of partners like Ignition Technology, we are well positioned to help security teams in the Benelux and Nordics gain the unparalleled network insights needed to eliminate these sophisticated threats from their network traffic.”
