## What does FirstWave Cloud Technology do?

FirstWave Cloud Technology (ASX: FCT) is an Australian technology company founded in 2004 that develops and delivers network management and cybersecurity software solutions. The company serves service providers, enterprises, and government clients across 178 countries.

In January 2022, FirstWave acquired Opmantek, a provider of enterprise-grade network management, automation, and IT audit software. This acquisition expanded FirstWave's product portfolio significantly.

FirstWave's core products include: NMIS (Network Management Information System), which serves as the backbone for network management, monitoring, and auditing; Open-AudIT, an agentless network discovery and IT asset management tool; opEvents, a centralized log and event management module that uses automation to remediate issues; and opHA, a distributed network management solution providing high availability and automated redundancy. The company also offers its CyberCision™ platform, which integrates with NMIS and Open-AudIT to deliver end-to-end network discovery, management, and cybersecurity capabilities. Additionally, FirstWave acquired Saisei Networks, expanding its traffic management capabilities with a Secure Traffic Manager (STM) product.

The company's software is used by organizations including Microsoft, Telmex, Claro, NextLink, and NASA, the latter using FirstWave's software for real-time event handling in mission-critical settings during the Artemis space program. FirstWave primarily sells through service provider partners and targets enterprise clients requiring network compliance, auditing, and cybersecurity management.
