Claroty appoints Wavelink as a sole distributor for entire business in Australia

Claroty, the cyber-physical systems protection company, has awarded the sole distributorship of its entire Australian business to Wavelink, a leader in providing enterprise solutions to the channel.

In 2022, Wavelink was appointed as the distributor for Medigate by Claroty, a dedicated cyber-physical systems protection platform for healthcare environments. Now, Wavelink’s role expands to encompass commercial, industrial, and healthcare business segments in Australia, reflecting Claroty’s confidence in Wavelink’s capabilities and commitment to delivering unparalleled service.

For over two decades, Wavelink has been a key player in delivering local representation for global vendors, facilitating the introduction of technology solutions to local reseller networks within Australia and New Zealand. The organisation’s strong focus on business and partner development, co-marketing, and pre- and post-sales support will be crucial in expanding Claroty’s business in the region.

For customers of Claroty, this will mean more vital on-ground support at a time when they need it most. In line with the Australian Government’s 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy released in 2023, the cyber risk facing Australian companies is only expected to grow in 2024. At present, one cybercrime is reported every six minutes, with ransomware alone causing up to $3 billion in damages to the Australian economy every year.

As the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continues to increase the prevalence and sophistication of cyber-attacks, and digital transformation accelerates across all industries, the risk to Australian organisations has never been greater. This trend is further compounded by the current geopolitical environment, which is presenting the most formidable challenges in recent memory.

Claroty and Wavelink are committed to providing Australian companies with high-quality cybersecurity solutions and technical support to address the increasing risks associated with AI, ML, and the ongoing digital transformation across industries.

Nick Nindra, regional vice president of channels and alliances, Asia-Pacific and Japan, Claroty, said, “Claroty is delighted to expand its partnership with Wavelink, who has a proven track record in the enterprise technology space. Through this ongoing partnership, Claroty will bring its strong capabilities in protecting the cyber-physical assets to more organisations in Australia.”

Ilan Rubin, chief executive officer, Wavelink, said, “Operational technology (OT) security is a major focus for Wavelink and the expanded relationship with Claroty enables Wavelink to deliver OT and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solutions to existing and new partners across a range of verticals. Claroty’s alignment to the company’s existing vendors and its global leadership of the OT security space make Claroty a perfect and exciting addition to Wavelink’s portfolio.”
