Evanssion Partners with HackerOne to Boost Middle East Cybersecurity

Evanssion, a cybersecurity value-added distributor in the Middle East, has announced a strategic partnership with HackerOne, the premier name in human-powered security. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of top-tier bug bounty, pentest, and vulnerability disclosure programs across enterprises in the region. By leveraging human ingenuity, Middle Eastern businesses can now identify critical security flaws and stay ahead of cybercriminals.

A recent report reveals a troubling surge in cyberattacks across the Middle East, with a 17% increase in 2023, particularly targeting essential sectors like finance, energy, and government. As digital transformation accelerates, organizations are becoming prime targets for ransomware and data breaches. Human-powered security platforms, such as HackerOne, provide proactive vulnerability detection that is 35% more cost-effective compared to traditional methods.

HackerOne stands out in human-powered security, with 61% of its customers discovering more vulnerabilities than traditional vendors. Notably, 22.75% of valid vulnerabilities identified through bug bounty programs are classified as high or critical, a significant increase compared to less than 1% found by automated scanners. Additionally, 18% of findings from HackerOne’s pentest services are rated as high or critical severity, nearly doubling the industry average.

“At Evanssion, our focus remains on empowering enterprises to advance their cybersecurity strategies. This partnership with HackerOne is both strategic and timely. By combining our regional expertise with HackerOne’s global leadership, we are poised to deliver exceptional value to our partners and customers in the Middle East,” stated Navneeth Ramanan, COO of Evanssion.

John Addeo, VP of Partnership Sales at HackerOne, added, “Evanssion’s customers across the Middle East now have access to the innovative insights of the global security researcher community, enhancing their security resilience. Evanssion’s deep understanding of the region’s unique challenges makes it the ideal partner for HackerOne to expand our solutions to leading Middle Eastern companies.”
