Our Story
A New Chapter in Secure Networking
Exium has joined forces with NETGEAR - a global leader in intelligent networking solutions - to accelerate our mission of delivering unified, easy-to-manage security and connectivity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the MSPs that serve them. This strategic alignment brings together Exium’s deep expertise in cloud-native cybersecurity with NETGEAR’s industry-leading portfolio of networking technologies, creating a new standard in integrated network and security solutions.
Our Mission
Since our founding, Exium has been driven by a simple but powerful vision: to empower MSPs with a comprehensive Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that protects businesses from today’s evolving threats while simplifying deployment and management. As part of NETGEAR, we are now positioned to bring that vision to even more organizations around the world.
Why This Matters
The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, and traditional, fragmented approaches can leave SMEs exposed and overburdened. By integrating Exium’s cloud-native SASE platform with NETGEAR’s robust networking ecosystem - including wired and wireless connectivity, firewall, and advanced security services - we can deliver one of the industry’s first fully unified networking + security solutions tailored for small IT teams and managed service providers.
This unified platform is designed to be:
- Cloud-managed and intuitive, enabling seamless deployment and ongoing management.
- Reliable and scalable, serving the needs of MSPs and multi-site enterprises.
- Security-rich, built from the ground up to address modern threat landscapes.
Our Team and Future
Exium’s leadership and engineering teams, including CEO Farooq Khan, have joined the NETGEAR for Business leadership team, ensuring continuity of vision and innovation as we bring our technologies together.
As part of NETGEAR, we’re committed to shaping the future of secure networking - delivering solutions that are simplified, integrated, and powerful, so MSPs and their customers can focus on what matters most: growth, reliability, and resilience in a connected world.
