HAT Distribution has inked a deal to bring UK-based cybersecurity monitoring, optimisation, training and insurance platform CyberSmart to Australia.
The company said CyberSmart will allow Australian small to medium-sized businesses (SMB) to implement Essential Eight controls and ensure year-round protection.
It will also allow managed services providers to enhance their service offerings by delivering comprehensive and cost-effective security solutions to their clients.
“Amidst the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, we are thrilled to partner with CyberSmart, a leader in cybersecurity innovation, to help more Australian businesses comply with the government’s endorsed Essential Eight framework," said Josh Gammer, GM at HAT Distribution.
“With CyberSmart, even smaller players gain access to the tools required for assessment, and for MSPs, the partnership is a consultative business opportunity to guide their clients on a transformative journey toward stronger cyber defences.”
CyberSmart's Active Protect on-device agent allows SMBs to perform endpoint monitoring, risk management, policy enforcement and cybersecurity awareness training.
It monitors and reports the status of a device by running through a series of security controls, identifying vulnerabilities and providing walkthroughs on how to fix them.
“We’re excited to expand into the Australian market with HAT Distribution. Cybercrime is a worldwide business, and the interconnected nature of global commerce in 2024 means that the more geographies we are able to offer SMBs complete cyber confidence in, the better," said Jamie Ahktar, CEO at CyberSmart.
"Almost half of Australians reported experiencing cybercrime in 2023, and we believe that the comprehensive protection we’re bringing to the Australian market will be able to limit both the success and impact of these incidents moving forward.”
