CyberKnight has announced its partnership with Keyfactor to enhance Zero Trust security and digital trust solutions across the Middle East and Africa. The collaboration aims to deliver advanced machine identity management, modern PKI, certificate lifecycle automation, and cryptographic inventory technologies.

The alliance responds to the region’s rising demand for digital trust as more organizations accelerate cloud adoption, digital transformation, and compliance efforts in sectors like finance, government, and healthcare.

The 2025 Gartner Market Guide for PKI and Certificate Management reported that 67% of enterprises now prioritize machine identity management due to expanding device networks and cloud migration. Similarly, Forrester’s latest Wave recognized Keyfactor as a leader in certificate orchestration and automation.

Industry trends reflect this momentum, with PKI solutions in the MEA region projected to grow at a 22% CAGR through 2027. This growth is fueled by evolving compliance frameworks and the rapid adoption of IoT technologies.

CyberKnight continues to strengthen digital trust in MEA through its extensive cybersecurity portfolio and Zero Trust expertise. With a network of more than 400 partners, the company helps enterprises secure critical infrastructure, meet compliance standards, and accelerate secure digital initiatives.

Through this collaboration, organizations gain access to Keyfactor’s latest technologies, including:
• Keyfactor Command platform
• Automated Certificate Renewal Engine
• PKI-as-a-Service
• Cryptographic Inventory platform

These solutions help enterprises discover and classify cryptographic assets, automate certificate and key management, and reduce compliance risks. They also prepare organizations to address post-quantum security challenges and evolving cyber threats.

Avinash Advani, CEO and Co-founder of CyberKnight, said that the partnership addresses the region’s urgent need for automated machine identity protection. He added that CyberKnight’s value-added distribution ecosystem and technical expertise will support CISOs in achieving stronger identity-first security and compliance.

Louise McEvoy, SVP Global Channel Sales at Keyfactor, revealed that organizations face growing challenges from agentic AI, quantum computing, and tightening compliance requirements. She said the collaboration extends Keyfactor’s reach in MEA, helping enterprises maintain visibility, automation, and control over every machine identity.

The Keyfactor Partner Network unites solution providers, OEMs, integrators, and distributors to solve challenges in PKI, certificate management, and identity automation, supporting Zero Trust and digital trust strategies across global markets.
