This July Aryaka officially kicked off our 2025 fiscal year – starting with a productive and energizing sales kickoff meeting in Jacksonville, Florida. Aside from the travel tribulations some of us faced, a few very positive moments stick out in my mind:

• Aryaka’s new bookings are up 34% YoY and security solution sales are up 80%+
• When describing Aryaka vs. competitors in our space, the panel of channel partners collectively agreed “your stuff just works!”
• Our guest speaker remarked that every function present (engineering, legal, operations, marketing, HR, sales and CX) shared an unwavering customer-centric mindset
• One of our newest customers said during the evaluation process that Aryaka seemed “too good to be true.”

While this past year was groundbreaking for Aryaka in new product offerings, executive hires and customer wins – I expect 2025 to be a coming out party for the net business value we deliver with Unified SASE as a Service. Check out more below:

Aryaka Closes Fiscal Year ’24 Strong – with New Bookings Up 34% YoY and Security Solution Sales up 80%+

“Between new offerings, customer wins, and executive appointments with a proven track record of success, 2024 was a groundbreaking year for Aryaka. However, we’ve only scratched the surface of our capabilities,” said Aryaka CEO Shailesh Shukla.

If you missed RSA this year, or were there but didn’t visit Aryaka, you may need to kick yourself for missing the best slight-of-hand magician around: Adam Wilber.
