24 Feb CyberKnight signs strategic distribution deal with Invicti to boost MEA application security

CyberKnight has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with Invicti Security to expand advanced web application and API security capabilities across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Under the agreement, CyberKnight will support and distribute Invicti’s application security platform throughout its regional network of managed security service providers, systems integrators and resellers. The move is designed to strengthen protection for enterprise and government customers as digital transformation initiatives accelerate across the region.

Headquartered in Dubai, CyberKnight serves customers across the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and other key regional markets. The company said the addition of Invicti’s DAST-first application security platform will enhance its growing portfolio of application security offerings.

Invicti provides automated and precise application security testing aimed at protecting thousands of websites, applications and APIs worldwide. As a global leader in DAST, the company focuses on embedding security into the application development lifecycle and builds on the heritage of DAST pioneers Netsparker and Acunetix.

Avinash Advani, Founder and CEO of CyberKnight, noted that as digital transformation accelerates across the MEA region, the need to secure web applications and APIs has never been more urgent. The addition of Invicti’s DAST-first platform to CyberKnight’s portfolio directly addresses this gap for enterprise and government sectors dealing with rapidly expanding attack surfaces.

The partnership also strengthens CyberKnight’s “Art of Cybersecurity” approach, which leverages a focused distribution model to help strategic partners increase market penetration, return on investment and time-to-value. The company said this model has consistently enabled it to deliver global cybersecurity innovation to local markets.
