Rapid7 and Exclusive Networks expand partnership to modernize security operations and accelerate customer success

Claudia Zoon is Senior Manager, Channel Sales at Rapid7. Across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, organizations are accelerating digital transformation through AI, cloud adoption, and increasingly connected business operations.
