Streamlined Access to HAT Distribution Facilitates Simplified Essential Eight Evaluation for Smaller Corporations
HAT Distribution and CyberSmart Partner to Fortify Australian Businesses' Cyber Defences
In a strategic move to bolster the cybersecurity of Australian businesses, HAT Distribution, an Australian value-added technology distributor, has formed a partnership with UK-based CyberSmart. This alliance will equip Australian Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) with vital tools to achieve and maintain government-approved cybersecurity standards.
The interconnected global business environment in 2024 highlights the necessity of robust cyber defences. Cybercrime, a thriving global business, poses a substantial threat to businesses of all sizes. Recognizing this, CyberSmart has developed its products to assist businesses in attaining and sustaining cybersecurity standards.
The CyberSmart platform, designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and SMEs, is the cornerstone of this partnership. It includes the Essential Eight strategies and practices, the recognized Australian government standard for cybersecurity. This set of baseline cybersecurity mitigation strategies and practices is crucial in protecting businesses against cyber threats.
Josh Gammer, General Manager of HAT Distribution, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, "The partnership with CyberSmart will provide businesses in Australia with Essential Eight assessment tools, offering year-round assurance."
CyberSmart Active Protect, an on-device agent for comprehensive endpoint monitoring, is one of the products Australian SMEs will gain access to. This solution offers risk management, policy enforcement, and cybersecurity awareness training. It regularly monitors and reports the status of a device, identifying vulnerabilities and providing solutions.
Jamie Ahktar, CEO of CyberSmart, shared his excitement about expanding into the Australian market with HAT Distribution, stating, "We are thrilled to partner with HAT Distribution and bring our solutions to Australian businesses, helping them achieve complete cyber confidence."
The distribution partnership between HAT Distribution and CyberSmart began in May 2023. The partnership views this collaboration as a consultative business opportunity for MSPs to guide clients towards stronger cyber defences. By offering complete cyber confidence in more geographies, CyberSmart aims to make a significant impact on the global cybersecurity landscape.
