Sydney's Orca Tech inks ANZ distie deal with CYFIRMA

Sydney-based Orca Technology has secured a distribution deal with Singaporean threat intelligence vendor CYFIRMA for Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). 

The partnership will provide Orca Tech's partners with access to CYFIRMA’s DeCYFIR and DeTCT platforms, which provide threat landscape intelligence and digital risk protection.

Orca Tech said the partnership will provide organisations with an "outside-in view" to "see through the hacker’s lens and start using predictive intelligence to mitigate risk."

This allows for the identification of threats and risks during the planning stage, versus the execution and exploitation phase of a cyberattack, the company said.

“When you look at the sheer number of data breaches and cyberattacks, it’s clear that organisations need a different strategy to fight the unseen enemy,” said Mike Henry, CTO at CYFIRMA.

"What’s needed is a new approach where an organisation has the ability to identify impending attacks and rapidly deploy mitigation tactics on the fly to stop an adversary in their tracks."

“We are excited to partner with Orca Technology, and together we shall work towards helping the government and businesses build greater agility to detect threats and expedite remediations, contributing towards making Australian cyberspace safer for businesses and citizens to live, work and play.”

CYFIRMA's DeCYFIR platform provides insights on attack surfaces, vulnerability intelligence, brand intelligence, digital risk discovery and protection, third-party risk and cyber intelligence.

Meanwhile, the DeTCT digital risk protection platform helps identify and monitor for vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, data leaks and breaches as well as risks posed by third parties. 

“Having a platform that can automate the monitoring of your corporate cyber reputation, attack surface exposure and your end-to-end supply chain risk is a game changer,” said Craig Ashwood, GM of Orca Technology.

"Actionable insights that are derived from this telemetry will benefit anyone concerned about their data being on the dark web or vulnerable corporate assets exposed on the internet."

"The IT channel in Australia and New Zealand is primed for CYFIRMA as it will provide a competitive advantage to the way they do business."
