Superloop expands Ixom services contract to provide Palo Alto SASE solution

ASX-listed Superloop has secured an expanded services contract with water treatment and chemical distributor Ixom, extending their partnership until 2028.

Under the contract, Superloop has provided Ixom with a high availability global network with enterprise security services across more than 40 locations in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, China and the USA.

The service is powered by Palo Alto Networks' Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) security solution, encompassing Prisma Access, Zero Trust Network Access, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM).

"Our partnership with Ixom has gone from strength to strength since the team first signed with us in 2022," said Daisey Stampfer, Superloop's group executive for business and wholesale, .

"The goal for us has always been to deliver a solution that supports IXOM’s need for flexibility but takes zero shortcuts when it comes to security.

"The SASE solution we’ve deployed for IXOM delivers simplified, scalable and cost-effective security that’s not only easy to manage but ensures a seamless user experience across the network.

"We want to make the complex simple for employees and keep IXOM and its customers protected."

"We’re thrilled Ixom has inked a contract extension with us for a further three years. It’s testament to the great partnership we’ve developed, and a credit to the Superloop team for our ability to support great Australian businesses with best-in-class network and security solutions that deliver confidence and peace of mind. We look forward to working together for many more years."

Ixom’s CIO Chris Cawood said Superloop's integrated network solution has significantly improved the company's data network performance and operations.

"Combined with all the robust security features, it provides us with secure cloud access and network infrastructure," he said.

"As a CIO, I appreciate Superloop’s commitment to affordability, ease of management, and local support. Superloop and Palo Alto Networks partnership have truly transformed our network landscape."
