Distology adds Radiflow to expand OT security for resellers

Distology has entered into a partnership with Radiflow to extend its operational technology (OT) security offering for resellers supporting critical and national infrastructure clients.

The new arrangement enables Distology to provide resellers with Radiflow's suite of OT security tools, which include asset inventory mapping, risk assessment, inventory management, and breach-attack simulation functions. Radiflow's platform also includes risk-driven OT threat and anomaly detection features that are designed to enhance the capabilities of Security Operations Centres (SOCs) in monitoring and protecting critical infrastructure. In addition, Radiflow's OT risk management platform, CIARA, will now be available to Distology partners, offering data-driven, compliant support for security teams.

The collaboration aims to address increasing security demands within OT environments across sectors such as manufacturing, utilities, and transportation. With this partnership, Distology seeks to equip its resellers to better meet customers' OT security needs as digital threats become more complex and the requirements for protecting critical systems intensify.

Hayley Roberts, Chief Executive Officer at Distology, commented: "We have respected Radiflow for a long time, and we're excited to officially bring them into our vendor ecosystem. This partnership strengthens our OT offering, allowing us to deliver even greater value and security to our partners in an increasingly complex landscape. As the need for trusted OT security solutions has never been greater, we are thrilled to partner with Radiflow to bring these innovative tools to the IT and OT reseller channel."

Distology's OT-focused portfolio has expanded significantly over the last 18 months with the addition of other suppliers in the segment. Previous introductions included offerings from OPSWAT and Cyolo, providers focused on securing sensitive environments and managing network connections. The portfolio was further strengthened by the introduction of Garland Technology's packet visibility hardware and services. The addition of Radiflow is intended to broaden Distology's solutions to include new asset management and risk-assessment capabilities.

With Radiflow now included — alongside tools for file scanning, connectivity, and compliance — Distology plans to give partners enhanced insights into OT network configurations and associated risks. The goal is to help partners and end-users address evolving challenges such as regulatory compliance, network visibility, and resilience against cyber threats.

Distology has reported consistent positive feedback from its partners regarding its proactive OT security approach, especially in relation to the expertise provided by its in-house OT specialists. The company recognises a growing need in the channel for collaborative partnerships that introduce robust OT solutions to customers facing heightened threat levels and skills shortages.

Ilan Barda, Chief Executive Officer of Radiflow, said: "We are excited to join forces with Distology, a well-established leader in OT security. As the UK remains our largest and fastest-growing market, this strategic partnership will enable us to scale rapidly and capitalise on emerging opportunities. With Distology's expertise and strong market reach, we are well-positioned to drive impactful growth and deliver cutting-edge OT security solutions to more organisations than ever before."

The partnership combines Distology's market experience with Radiflow's OT security capabilities, aimed at offering customers improved visibility and tailored risk management. The intention is to support organisations in achieving compliance, improving operational resilience, and enhancing the security of their critical infrastructure environments.
