HAT becomes distributor for Tufin

HAT Distribution has been appointed as an Australian and New Zealand distributor for Tufin, a company specialising in network security posture management.

The agreement expands HAT’s enterprise security portfolio with a platform designed to help organisations manage security policy across increasingly complex hybrid environments.

Tufin’s Unified Control Plane centralises visibility and automates policy management across multi-vendor and multi-technology networks, enabling organisations to implement secure changes in minutes instead of days, and reduce the risk associated with manual processes, according to the company.

While Tufin already has a presence in Australia and New Zealand, HAT’s focus will be on deepening engagement through technical enablement and architectural alignment.

HAT will work with partners to embed Tufin within broader security and operations strategies – particularly in regulated and large enterprise environments where policy accuracy and auditability are critical – providing pre-sales design support and technical enablement to help integrate the platform into complex customer environments.

Josh Gammer, director at HAT Distribution, said the company is having more conversations with partners who are navigating increasing policy complexity across hybrid environments.

"Every cloud workload, every SASE rollout, every new regulatory obligation adds another layer of policy management, particularly in Australia and New Zealand markets, where governance and auditability are non-negotiable," he said.

“What organisations need isn’t another point tool, but clear visibility and control across firewalls, cloud platforms and newer architectures that were never built to operate as one. Tufin provides a single control plane that cuts through that complexity, offering a cleaner way to manage policy at scale.”

Michael Bosnar, VP of sales at APAC at Tufin said organisations today are managing more complexity than ever across their enterprise network environment.

"HAT Distribution’s technical depth and strong partner relationships make them well positioned to extend the value of Tufin across Australia and New Zealand," he said.

2025 saw HAT launch IT and network monitoring specialist Paessler’s MSP program for the ANZ region, as well as being named a distributor for NinjaOne.
