NetWitness, a globally trusted provider of cybersecurity technologies and incident response services, today announced it is partnering with cybersecurity focused value-added-distributor (VAD) headquartered in Dubai, CyberKnight, to bring NetWitness’ leading extended detection and response (XDR) solutions to enterprises in the Middle East.
Together, NetWitness and CyberKnight will enable enterprise and government customers in the Middle East with fast detection and automatic response capabilities to combat today’s advanced cybersecurity threats.
The NetWitness Platform is an open XDR solution that enables security teams to detect, understand the full scope of a compromise, and automatically respond to security threats across modern IT infrastructures, accelerating threat detection and response. NetWitness delivers enhanced visibility across all capture points, including logs, network packets, net flow, endpoints, and computing platforms on premise, in the cloud, or as a hybrid of the two. The NetWitness Platform applies threat intelligence as well as user and entity behaviour analytics to detect, prioritise, investigate threats, and automate responses, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of security strategies.
“We are excited about this new partnership with NetWitness, as their modern approach to security will give customers in the Middle East an advantage in the battle against cyberattacks, ensuring unsurpassed visibility, smarter threat detection, and faster analytics — all on-premises. Hundreds of organizations in the Middle East are already using this robust platform, which easily integrates with the world’s most critical and widely deployed tools, as well as many specialised and industry-specific solutions”, commented Avinash Advani, CEO & founder at CyberKnight.
“Keeping end users safe from ever-evolving cyberattacks requires forward-thinking and holistic approaches that enable security operations teams to stay ahead of such breaches. We are proud to continue our expansion in the region and offer enterprises our unparalleled XDR platform. We are thrilled about our partnership with CyberKnight, which allows us to leverage their regional coverage, channel breadth, deep-rooted customer relationships, and cybersecurity expertise to accelerate our growth”, added Motaz Al Mohamady, head of Channel Sales — Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, at NetWitness.
