EMT Distribution adds IoT security vendor ReFirm Labs

US-based IoT security vendor ReFirm Labs has appointed EMT Distribution to distribute its Centrifuge Platform in Australia and New Zealand.

Centrifuge provides automated vetting, validation and monitoring of IoT devices. ReFirm said it also does not require a source code, has API integration, continuous monitoring and actionable reporting.

“ReFirm Labs lines up with our focus on sourcing and delivering innovative solutions for cyber security vulnerabilities that mainstream technologies don’t address,” EMT chief marketing officer Scott Hagenus said.

“The fact that organisations with a heavy reliance on IoT devices can vet firmware images for vulnerabilities in around 30 minutes, without requiring source code, brings confidence to the choices they make.”

EMT said it will “execute a 100 percent channel strategy” to Australia and New Zealand, working with partners to market and support the Centrifuge Platform.

“EMT Distribution’s knowledge of the cyber security market, long-term relationships with channel partners and technical expertise give us the capability to meet the growing demand for firmware security solutions in Australia and New Zealand,” ReFirm Labs chief executive Derick Naef said.
