Its latest platform release features a redesigned risk dashboard, enhanced intelligence, and strengthened policy library. These improvements streamline compliance with standards including Saudi Arabia’s OTCC and IEC 62443.

• The solution supports evolving regulatory requirements.
• Industrial Defender earned three awards at the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
• The partnership combines CyberKnight’s regional expertise with Industrial Defender’s advanced technology.
