Sydney, Australia – 6 November, 2025 – VECTEC today announced it has become a Palo Alto Networks NextWave MSSP Innovator. VECTEC joins a select group of channel partners who have met the MSSP Innovator performance, capabilities, and business requirements of the Palo Alto Networks NextWave Partner Program.
Today’s announcement makes VECTEC a boutique NextWave Innovator MSSP for Prisma SASE. Over the past four years, VECTEC has built deep SASE expertise in partnership with Palo Alto Networks and is now taking that capability further with the recently announced VECTEC Networks, its dedicated enterprise networking division. This rare enterprise-level expertise combined with boutique-level precision and service, gives enterprise clients a choice beyond the large global integrators and carrier groups that have traditionally dominated at this level.
The growth of SASE has been driven by major shifts in the enterprise landscape, under pressure to hybrid work, integrate AI workloads and the need to modernise legacy networks that no longer meet performance or security demands. VECTEC has seen these challenges first-hand across its client base, and with Prisma SASE, is helping enterprises across key sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing and logistics close those gaps with secure, scalable, cloud-delivered connectivity.
To support the demand, VECTEC has continued to invest heavily in its specialised SASE solution, including Australian-based platinum-level 24×7 managed services, ensuring clients benefit from local expertise and always-on protection. This high-touch model is designed for CIOs and technology leaders who want both world-class firepower and a partner that operates with precision, care, and accountability.
“Palo Alto Networks is the global leader in SASE, and this recognition demonstrates how VECTEC turns world-class technology into real outcomes for our clients,” said Jack McEvoy, CEO & Co-founder of VECTEC. “As a boutique Prisma SASE MSSP Innovator, we’re enabling organisations to strengthen security, modernise networks, and move with greater speed and confidence, all backed by the expertise and care of our highly skilled VECTEC Networks team.”
“NextWave partners play a critical role throughout the customer lifecycle, from the initial qualifying stage to ultimately ensuring successful deployment and adoption of our technology,” said Bryan Stibbard, Senior Director, Ecosystems, Australia and New Zealand at Palo Alto Networks. “As a NextWave MSSP Innovator, VECTEC is a cybersecurity advisor our customers can trust.
