Ingram Micro, one of the largest distributors of technology and supply chain services in Latin America, and Netskope, leader in SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), have just announced a strategic distribution agreement for all of Latin America. The partnership is intended to help accelerate Netskope's expansion in the region and enhance the company's ability to deliver SASE cloud security best practices, including wide area Borderless SD-WAN solutions.

Netskope offers the SASE solution as a single converged platform, using a policy framework and an intelligent command line (console) to simplify technology operations, preserve performance, and provide greater visibility to security and network teams. The Netskope SASE platform further combines industry-leading Security Service Edge (SSE) and SD-WAN services – both key to providing optimized access and Zero Trust security for the SASE architecture.
Michael Herman, vice president of Alliances & Channel at Netskope for EMEA and LATAM, comments that after considering a number of distribution options and the company's entry into the Latin American market, Ingram Micro was the natural choice due to its capillarity and deep expertise in technology, cloud solutions, and supply chain services. “Ingram Micro also has the innovative financing models and consumption models that customers and partners today have come to expect from a state-of-the-art security solutions provider. We are confident this relationship will help accelerate Netskope's growth across the region and look forward to working closely with the Ingram Micro team.”
Luis Ferez, Senior Vice President and Global Group President of Ingram Micro, points out that the partnership is beneficial for both parties. “We are delighted to be working with Netskope and adding their market-leading SASE platform to our partners. Businesses in Latin America are increasingly operating in the cloud, and security solutions that protect data at every step of its journey without sacrificing performance are an exciting prospect. Therefore, Netskope's platform perfectly complements our strategic direction as the demand for SASE and Zero Trust solutions grows in the region.”
Netskope serves more than 2,000 customers worldwide, including major government agencies and more than 25 Fortune 100 companies.
