"Honeywell's portfolio complements and expands Wavelink's existing mobility solutions," said Mark McDonald, general manager of mobility at Wavelink. "It provides our partners access to proven, industry-grade technology that addresses real-world challenges in environments where accuracy, speed and reliability are critical. Honeywell is an exciting addition to Wavelink's mobility portfolio suitable for a range of sectors where Wavelink already has a well-established presence."
Wavelink will offer Honeywell comprehensive channel support services including marketing, pre- and post-sales expertise, training, staging, implementation and lifecycle management.

As part of its broader operational technology (OT) strategy, Wavelink will incorporate Honeywell's solutions into cross-domain initiatives involving cybersecurity, infrastructure and data visibility. This integrated approach underscores the distributor's commitment to technology partnerships that deliver business outcomes.
Bartek Krajewski, Asia Pacific sales leader at Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services, highlighted the benefits of working with Wavelink. "Honeywell's collaboration with Wavelink will extend the reach of our portfolio in Australia. We value their proven track record in mobility, deep understanding of customer pain points and ability to build and support a thriving partner ecosystem.

BeyondTrust cloud security passes IRAP PROTECTED review by CyberCX
BeyondTrust has announced that four of its security solutions have completed an Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED classification level through a review conducted by CyberCX. The IRAP assessment, required by Australian government departments before adopting external security platforms, was conducted in line with Phase 1A of the Australian Cyber Security Centre's (ACSC) Cloud Assessment and Authorisation Framework. The assessment covered compliance against the controls set out in the March 2025 version of the Australian Information Security Manual (ISM). Four BeyondTrust solutions were included in the assessment: Endpoint Privilege Management, Password Safe, Privileged Remote Access, and Remote Support. The assessment process involved a documentation review and technical configuration checks by CyberCX to ensure operational effectiveness at the PROTECTED classification level. This enables government agencies and public sector organisations to make risk-informed decisions about cloud adoption and the use of BeyondTrust's offerings. The IRAP program is designed to provide assurance that vendor solutions meet strict cybersecurity control requirements for government information that needs protection at higher sensitivity levels. It allows departments to evaluate both the security posture and the compliance of external solutions prior to deployment in their environments. CyberCX's Director of Cloud Assessments and Advisory, Umar Karim, commented on BeyondTrust's performance in the review. "BeyondTrust has demonstrated a robust and mature security controls framework, enabling them to deliver highly secure, cloud-based security solutions to their customers." The assessment period began in March 2025 and was completed in July 2025. CyberCX conducted a technical and procedural evaluation to confirm BeyondTrust's alignment with IRAP and Australian ISM requirements. This verification included an examination of how the company's solutions address the cloud controls matrix, which is instrumental for agencies to assess their own risk when using Software as a Service (SaaS) products and platforms for sensitive information. Roshi Balendran, Regional Sales Director at BeyondTrust, said the successful assessment enhances BeyondTrust's capacity to serve the public sector and commercial enterprises handling data at the PROTECTED level. "We are delighted to have successfully completed the IRAP assessment, which now allows BeyondTrust to expand our ability to work with both public sector organisations and commercial businesses that require information to be stored, processed, and communicated at the 'Protected' classification level," said Roshi Balendran. "The IRAP assessment reflects our commitment to our Australian government customers in providing them with industry-leading identity security solutions that help to secure their Paths to Privilege." Balendran also noted the effect on the company's partners in Australia, specifically referencing potential benefits to the broader market and public sector cyber defences. "In addition, our Australian channel partners also now have more market opportunities to strengthen the cyber defences of Australian government agencies with a suite of BeyondTrust identity security solutions, which facilitate faster and more informed decision-making processes," Balendran added. BeyondTrust stated that details of the IRAP assessment are available for customers to review as part of their own due diligence when considering the company's solutions for adoption. The IRAP assessment and the associated compliance reporting are aimed at helping public sector organisations adopt cloud-based security solutions with confidence that they have undergone rigorous third-party evaluation, confirming alignment with the Australian Government's standards for the protection of sensitive information.

Blackpearl opens retail offer after AUD $10.3m raise & US deal
Blackpearl Group has opened its retail entitlement offer at AUD $0.95 per share, following a AUD $10.3 million institutional raise led by Australian cornerstone investors ahead of its proposed listing on the Australian Securities Exchange as a foreign-exempt entity. The retail component of the entitlement offer allows eligible shareholders to participate following the completion of the offer's institutional stage, which has attracted backing from prominent Australian institutional investors. This development comes as the company finalises its acquisition of US-based AI sales automation firm B2B Rocket, a transaction expected to raise Blackpearl's annual recurring revenue (ARR) to USD $17.5 million and set the direction towards a USD $50 million target. Australian support The institutional element of Blackpearl's accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (ANREO) and additional placement successfully raised AUD $10.3 million. The support from Australian investors is crucial as Blackpearl progresses its application for an ASX foreign-exempt listing, a move intended to broaden its investor base and reinforce its presence in the world's largest market for small and medium businesses. Chief Executive Officer Nick Lissette said the offer aligned with the company's broader ambitions: Blackpearl isn't in the habit of standing still. Investor demand has been clear and with Australian cornerstone support in place and our ASX pathway progressing, we're opening the retail window for eligible shareholders today. This is a rare moment - a New Zealand AI company acquiring a cutting-edge high growth US technology business, backed by Australian institutions and preparing for an ASX quotation. The raise materially broadens our investor base and strengthens our platform to scale in the world's largest SMB market. Lissette stated that the opening of the retail offer reflects a significant step in Blackpearl's expansion strategy. The offer opened to eligible shareholders on Monday 18 August and will close on 25 August, giving participants the opportunity to subscribe at AUD $0.95 per share. Oversubscriptions will be permitted for those who fully take up their entitlement. Acquisition and growth targets Blackpearl's pending acquisition of B2B Rocket, an AI sales automation business based in the United States, is expected to close this week. The company projects that this acquisition will lift ARR to USD $17.5 million, with momentum towards USD $20 million as it maintains a long-term target of USD $50 million. Lissette added: We're not inching forward, we're leaping. With B2B Rocket closing this week, we're in striking distance of $20m and so we're now focused on our $50m target. This is the growth story NZ tech needs right now. It's proof that Kiwi innovation can scale - and compete - anywhere and signals that NZ Tech belongs in the big leagues globally and has what it takes to deliver. Next steps for listing Blackpearl targets its ASX quotation in approximately three months, contingent on the successful completion of a Tier 1 standard audit of B2B Rocket. The company sees institutional support from Australia as pivotal in this phase. Lissette stated: Australian institutional backing gives us more than capital; it gives us confidence and credibility as we scale. Use of proceeds Proceeds from the entitlement offer will be used to fund the B2B Rocket acquisition, support the scaling of Bebop's growth, integrate B2B Rocket and execute its go-to-market plan, enhance Blackpearl's Data Wholesale resources, and maintain a cash buffer for working capital purposes. Lissette summarised the company's outlook: We're not just building a bigger business, we're building a bigger playing field. This particular combination of capital, capability and opportunity doesn't come around often and we intend to use it to take New Zealand AI global. Follow us on: Share on:
