CyberKnight and Appgate sign distribution agreement for Middle East

CyberKnight has signed an agreement with Appgate, the secure access company, to distribute Appgate SDP, a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, throughout the Middle East to address client issues connected to secure network access.

Appgate SDP enables digital transformation, reduces risk, and improves customer experience by providing scalable, secure access across cloud, legacy, hybrid, and IoT environments. The enterprise-grade feature set of Appgate SDP hides resources, enhances access controls, and simplifies network security.

“Current remote access methods, like VPNs, are dated. Furthermore, attacks are becoming more advanced and multi-faceted, so organizations increasingly need a multi-layered approach to combat them. We are excited to join forces with Appgate to offer Middle East customers a market-leading ZTNA solution that provides dynamic, identity-centric, context-aware precision access, reducing the attack surface by making resources invisible while enabling business agility at scale,” commented Avinash Advani, Founder & CEO at CyberKnight.

The Forrester New WaveTM: Zero Trust Network Access, Q3 2021 selected Appgate as a Leader. Appgate achieved the highest possible rating in six categories: deployment flexibility, non-web and legacy apps, ecosystem integration, client support, connector capabilities, and product vision.

“Cyberthreats are adapting to the dynamic way people work, making it imperative for organizations to implement a Zero Trust security strategy with ZTNA as a foundational building block,” said Fiona Doak, Director of Channel Sales EMEA.

“Whether your resources are in the cloud, on-premises, or both, Appgate SDP protects globally distributed users, devices, and hybrid IT to future-proof your security posture. We are thrilled to partner with CyberKnight and leverage their network of strategic partners and security expertise to support UAE organizations on their Zero Trust journey,” Doak added.
