Fleet & Cape Town – KHIPU Networks has significantly expanded its technical footprint, securing an extensive suite of Palo Alto Networks specializations spanning its operations in both the United Kingdom and South Africa.  

The announcement reinforces the cybersecurity and managed security services provider’s elite standing within the industry. These newly minted capabilities complement KHIPU’s existing designation as a Palo Alto Networks Diamond Innovator Partner – the vendor’s highest tier of partnership – alongside its status as an Authorised Support Centre (ASC), Authorised Professional Services (APS) Specialist, and Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).  

Comprehensive Technical Ability 

The sweep of accreditations covers critical product domains and advanced managed security services across both geographies:  

• Product Specializations: Hardware Firewall, Software Firewall, Prisma SASE, Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR, and Cortex XSIAM.  

• Advanced MSSP Specializations: Next-Generation Firewall, Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR, Cortex XSIAM, and Prisma Access.  

Together, these credentials validate KHIPU’s end-to-end capacity to mitigate organisational risk, bolster operational resilience, and streamline complex security architectures.  

Strategic Vision and Leadership Perspective 

Reflecting on the scale of the achievement, Andrew Brimson, CEO of KHIPU Networks, emphasised that the true value lies beyond the accolades: 

“The badges are nice. The real achievement is the incredible team behind them. These achievements represent thousands of hours of learning, certification, customer engagement, problem-solving and an unwavering commitment to technical excellence. I’m fortunate to work alongside some of the most talented cybersecurity professionals in the industry and incredibly proud of what they continue to achieve for our customers. Thank you to every engineer, consultant, architect and analyst who made this possible. This is what excellence looks like.” 

This sentiment was echoed by Matt Ashman, Chief Commercial Officer at KHIPU Networks, who noted that the technical expansion directly supports the firm’s strategic objectives:  

“As a Palo Alto Networks Diamond Innovator Partner, we continue to invest in developing the highest levels of technical capability to ensure our customers benefit from industry-leading cybersecurity solutions and managed services. Achieving these specializations further strengthens our ability to help organisations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats while accelerating their digital transformation initiatives.”
