StarLink, an Infinigate Group company, has launched a new initiative to accelerate delivery of Prisma SASE managed services by Palo Alto Networks. This strategic move positions StarLink as the first distributor in the Middle East to enable channel partners with a ready-to-operate service layer – empowering them to function as MSSPs from day one for the Prisma SASE portfolio.
Under the SASE Xcelerate activation plan, StarLink will drive channel maturity through a comprehensive enablement strategy, building a strong ecosystem of service-led partners for a seamless delivery of Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE offering. This approach addresses the shortage of specialised expertise while enabling commercial and mid-sized organisations to access a leading SASE platform as a simplified, fully managed service.
Intending to simplify Prisma SASE delivery, this value-add initiative brings together AI-powered cloud solutions combining Prisma Access, Prisma SD-WAN, and white-label managed services into a unified offering that empowers partners to capitalise on the high-growth SASE market with zero upfront investment and enjoy a competitive advantage through bundled solutions.
“This accelerated go-to-market strategy presents a highly lucrative opportunity for partners to build expertise and grow their business at the same time,” said Ahmed Diab, COO at StarLink. “With StarLink’s technical expertise, combined with Prisma SASE’s leading technologies, we are well-positioned to empower partners to unlock new growth opportunities while enabling customers offload SOC management to certified experts – driving stronger and more effective outcomes.”
Organisations can now move from fragmented, hardware-heavy security models to simplified, cloud-native, Zero Trust architecture with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE that improves cybersecurity posture while enhancing user experience and operational efficiency – seamlessly deployed through StarLink’s specialised and trusted channel ecosystem.
“StarLink’s SASE Xcelerate initiative is an important step in the region, enabling partners to transition into MSSPs seamlessly,” said Patricia Murphy, Vice President, EMEA Ecosystems at Palo Alto Networks. “By bundling our market-leading Prisma SASE platform into a ready-to-operate service layer, we are empowering the channel to overcome expertise shortages and deliver world-class Zero Trust security to organisations across the Middle East.”
