Climb signs distribution deal with Harmonic Security for AI governance
Climb, a specialty technology distributor and wholly owned subsidiary of Climb Global Solutions (NASDAQ: CLMB), has signed a distribution agreement with Harmonic Security to offer Harmonic's AI governance platform to value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) across the United States.
Under the agreement, Climb's network of channel partners will gain access to Harmonic Security's platform, which is designed to provide security teams with visibility and control over employee and autonomous agent use of AI tools, including products such as Claude Code and OpenAI's agents. The platform aims to prevent intellectual property from being transmitted to external AI providers and to monitor actions taken by AI agents within enterprise environments.
"Employees have moved past chatting with AI. They are running agents in tools like Claude Code and Cowork that take real actions and pull in real intellectual property, and most security teams have no view of it," said Alastair Paterson, CEO and co-founder of Harmonic Security. "Climb gives us reach into the resellers and MSPs serving exactly these organizations."
Charles Bass, Chief Alliance Officer at Climb, said channel partners have been seeking a platform specifically built to address AI agent activity within customer environments. "Adding Harmonic Security to our line card gives VARs and MSPs a way to meet that demand with a platform designed for the problem, backed by Climb's financing, quoting, and relationship-led channel support," he said.
Harmonic Security's platform covers browsers, desktops, and the agentic AI layer, including MCP clients and servers, according to the companies' joint statement.
