What Cloudway does
Cloudway is a privately held, founder-owned value-added distributor of cybersecurity and cloud technology solutions, headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel, and operating exclusively in the Israeli market. Founded in 2016 by Hadar Eshel (CEO) and Oren Sabag (COO), both with prior experience at Israeli cybersecurity distributors, the company operates with 11-50 employees and a bootstrapped capital structure.
The company distributes an exclusive portfolio of global cybersecurity vendors to Israeli Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and channel partners. Its product surface spans endpoint protection and EDR (BlackBerry Cylance, BlackBerry Workspaces), email security, backup, and WAF (Barracuda Networks — exclusive since 2018), network security and SD-WAN (SonicWall since January 2022, KEMP LoadMaster, WhatsUp Gold), Open XDR/SOC platforms (Stellar Cyber since 2024), cloud backup and RMM (MSP360 since 2024), managed SOC services (Judy Security), security ratings (SecurityScorecard), AI-generated code security (Cybox Security), and database security (Datasunrise). Many of these products incorporate AI capabilities from vendors — including BlackBerry Cylance's signature-less ML endpoint prediction, Stellar Cyber's Multi-Layer AI correlation, and Barracuda Sentinel's communication-pattern AI — though Cloudway does not develop AI itself.
Cloudway's business model is a margin-based distribution/reseller model: it does not sell directly to end customers but supplies its Israeli channel partner and MSP base, who then deliver cybersecurity solutions as managed services to government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare and education organizations, and SMB/mid-market companies. The company acts as the local marketing, sales, and operational extension for its vendors, positioning itself as the "home of cyber for the channel" in Israel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Cloudway competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Ingram Micro: Global IT distributor with a broad cybersecurity portfolio serving resellers, MSPs, and integrators — overlaps with Cloudway on Barracuda, BlackBerry, SonicWall and similar channel motion, but at vastly larger scale and across all geographies including Israel.
- TD SYNNEX: Global IT distribution and solutions aggregator formed from the merger of Tech Data and SYNNEX — comparable broad-line cybersecurity and cloud distributor serving resellers and MSPs, with overlapping vendor relationships to Cloudway but significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
- Arrow Electronics (Enterprise Computing Solutions): Global value-added distributor of enterprise computing and cybersecurity solutions — overlaps with Cloudway in distributing security, networking, and storage vendors to resellers and integrators, though at materially larger scale and with broader enterprise focus.
- Westcon-Comstor: Established global VAD with a strong Israel presence distributing cybersecurity, networking, and collaboration vendors through channel partners — comparable to Cloudway in vendor portfolio (SonicWall, Barracuda, etc.) and channel motion, but with materially broader scale and geographic reach.
- ALSO Group: European-headquartered IT VAD offering cloud, cybersecurity, and networking solutions to resellers and MSPs — directly comparable in cybersecurity distribution model but at significantly larger scale, primarily serving EMEA rather than Israel specifically.
Direct peers
- Exclusive Networks: Global cybersecurity specialist value-added distributor serving channel partners and MSPs — directly comparable to Cloudway's VAD model, with an overlapping vendor portfolio (Stellar Cyber, Barracuda, etc.) and similar channel-first GTM, but operating at much larger scale across multiple geographies.
- Sherweb: Cloud distributor focused on MSPs providing security, backup, and Microsoft 365 solutions — directly comparable to Cloudway's cloud backup, email security, and MSP-focused distribution, though operating in North America/Europe rather than Israel.
Regional players

Emerging players
- Pax8: Cloud marketplace/distributor purpose-built for MSPs aggregating security, backup, and productivity SaaS — comparable to Cloudway's MSP-first GTM and overlapping vendor set (MSP360, security/backup stack), though Pax8 operates a digital marketplace model rather than traditional VAD distribution.
Others
- Cybersecurity distribution units of large Israeli integrators (e.g., Malam Team, Matrix IT): Israeli IT services and distribution companies (Malam Team, Matrix IT) that also represent cybersecurity vendors in the Israeli market — geographically and structurally comparable to Cloudway as competing local distributors, though typically larger and broader in scope beyond cybersecurity.
