Orca Security expands into ANZ with Wavelink partnership

Orca Security has announced its expansion into the Australia and New Zealand region through a new partnership with Wavelink and the relocation of its co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Avi Shua to Australia.

The move aims to support the surge in demand for cloud security solutions amidst growing threats to cloud infrastructure. Orca Security believes that positioning a co-founder and the inventor of its patented agentless cloud security platform in the region provides a competitive advantage.

Orca has formed a strategic partnership with Wavelink, an Australian IT distributor known for its expertise in cybersecurity and mobility enterprise solutions. This partnership will enhance the capabilities of Wavelink's Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and reseller partners to better protect organisations from various cyber threats.

Avi Shua stated, "With CEOs and Boards more attuned to the business criticality of cybersecurity, CISOs must understand and prioritise their organisations' cyber risks and proactively strengthen their security postures. Orca Security's value is unique by providing enterprises clear, precise and actionable visibility into all risks across their cloud estates. As the market leader that continues to be at the forefront of innovation, we're committed to enabling partners to provide their clients peace of mind for securing their business environments in the cloud."

According to Grand View Research, the Australian cloud computing market is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 16.1% from 2024 to 2030, reaching AUD $1.68 billion in revenue. Orca has already noted more than 100% year-over-year growth in its customer base within the region, driven by a growing number of fully certified partners.

Orca Security's partner-first strategy has led to a significant increase in deal registrations and a rise in partners closing business. The company has introduced a new partner portal to provide streamlined access to sales and marketing resources, training modules, and support tools. Key features include an enhanced Deal Registration process, personalised dashboards, advanced analytics to track performance, and streamlined workflows.

Michael Fisher, Sales Manager for Emerging Vendors at Wavelink, commented, "Our partnership with Orca Security enables Wavelink's partners to provide their customers with unparalleled visibility and control over their cloud environments. Orca Security is a technology-leading agentless cloud security solution that meets the speed and scalability demands of cloud environments and we're excited to partner with them as they expand in ANZ."

The expansion of Orca Security into the Australia and New Zealand region, highlighted by its partnership with Wavelink, underscores the growing emphasis on robust cloud security solutions in response to escalating cyber threats. With a strategic focus on empowering local partners and enhancing visibility into cloud risks, Orca aims to address the increasing demand for effective cybersecurity measures among regional organisations.
