Mako continued to grow its VPN Cloud Partner Program, established in 2020, by forging new partnerships with Fueland, Skupos, InComm and UK-based EdgePetrol. Mako VPN Cloud technology makes partner services available in a secure manner to current and prospective customers worldwide and continues to benefit customers and vendors. Partners deploy virtual or physical Mako VPN concentrators to make services in their environments directly available to retail locations equipped with Mako devices. The technology allows retailers to access third-party service providers using secure Mako VPN Cloud tunnels that bypasses the public Internet, maintaining compliance with PCI DSS and other security standards.
“We’re continuing to build on the foundation that we established over two decades ago,” said Simon Gamble, President of Mako Networks. “As Mako evolves, we’re focused on enhancing existing relationships and excited about the future of the industry and our unique role in the distributed enterprise space. In 2022, we’re attending more in-person trade shows, expanding our partnerships and pursuing opportunities to provide our solutions in new markets. We appreciate our loyal customers and expert team for a successful year, and look forward to sharing success next year.”
