NetWitness, a globally trusted provider of cybersecurity technologies and incident response services, 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.
NetWitness and CyberKnight are two companies that provide cybersecurity solutions for enterprises and governments in the Middle East. They aim to help customers quickly detect and respond to advanced cybersecurity threats.
The NetWitness Platform is an open XDR solution that speeds up threat detection and response by enabling security teams to identify, and comprehend the full breadth of a breach, and automatically respond to security threats across contemporary IT infrastructures. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid of the two, NetWitness provides greater visibility across all capture points, including logs, network packets, net flow, endpoints, and computing platforms. The NetWitness Platform uses threat intelligence, user and entity behaviour analytics, and automated responses to identify, analyse, and respond to threats, enhancing the efficacy and efficiency of security measures.
Avinash Advani, CEO & founder at CyberKnight said “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 specialized and industry-specific solutions.”
Motaz Al Mohamady, head of Channel Sales — Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, at NetWitness said “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.
