Westcon-Comstor launches SASEvolution powered by Palo Alto Networks to accelerate scalable SASE adoption
LONDON, UK – 21 May, 2026 – Westcon-Comstor, a global technology distributor specialising in cybersecurity, networking and hybrid cloud solutions, today announced the launch of SASEvolution, a new programme designed to simplify and accelerate the adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) across its partner ecosystem in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
SASEvolution brings together Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma SASE solution with Westcon-managed services into ready-to-sell, bundled offerings. Built around real-world customer use cases, the programme combines Secure Internet Access, Universal Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Enterprise Browser and full-stack SASE capabilities with design, deployment and support services.
The result is a simplified, repeatable model that enables partners to go to market with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE regardless of their existing services capabilities, certifications or expertise levels – helping overcome barriers to SASE adoption while accelerating the shift toward service-led, recurring revenue models.
The programme is delivered through Westcon-Comstor’s channel ecosystem to partners serving mid-market and enterprise customers, particularly those with distributed workforces, branch environments and organisations transitioning away from legacy VPNs and perimeter-based security architectures. It is designed to support partners at varying levels of SASE maturity, allowing them to adopt the programme based on their existing capabilities and scale over time.
Through SASEvolution, partners can leverage commercially optimised bundles rather than assembling standalone solutions, reducing pre-sales complexity and enabling faster, lower-risk deployments.
This comes at an opportune time as according to industry analyst Gartner, the global SASE market is projected to grow at a 26% compound annual growth rate, reaching $28.5 billion by 2028. As organisations increasingly seek integrated, outcome-based security solutions, scalable delivery models will be critical to meeting demand.
“Demand for SASE continues to grow rapidly, driven by cloud-first strategies, hybrid work environments and Zero Trust security requirements,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor. “However, adoption is often slowed by challenges including complex solution scoping, lengthy sales cycles, skills shortages and uncertainty around commercial models. SASEvolution directly addresses these issues by packaging technology and services together from the outset, enabling partners to move faster by leveraging our proven ability to help them scale with confidence and drive profitable, services-led growth.”
“As organisations continue to embrace Zero Trust and cloud-first strategies, the need for scalable, integrated SASE solutions has never been greater,” said Patricia Murphy, Vice President, EMEA Ecosystems, Strategic Alliances and Channel at Palo Alto Networks. “SASEvolution provides partners with a clear and structured way to deliver Prisma SASE, helping to accelerate adoption while ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes for customers. We look forward to seeing how this programme will showcase our industry-leading technology with Westcon-Comstor’s proven channel expertise and enablement capabilities.”
