Claroty has awarded the sole distributorship of its entire Australian business to Wavelink.
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.
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. (1)
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.
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.”
