Evanssion and Noname extend partnership

Evanssion, a value-added distributor (VAD) having expertise in Cloud Native and Cyber Security in the Middle East and Africa, has announced that it is strengthening its partnership with Noname Security to ensure the region is well-prepared to defend against API attacks.

The firm believes that there is a massive gap in visibility on the API layer in terms of information consumption and exposure via the API. As a result, API governance and posture management are lacking. Hackers have exploited these vulnerabilities and are actively targeting these APIs due to misconfiguration and anomalous API behavior.

Gartner predicts that by 2025, “less than half of enterprise APIs will be managed, as API growth outpaces the capabilities of API management tools.” Securing APIs has thus become a pressing issue for CIOs, CISOs, and decision makers to address as they continue to protect data in this evolving threat landscape.

Evanssion signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Noname Security, headquartered in California, USA, last year in October 2021, to allow adoption of its API security platform in the Middle East and Africa region.

Ahmad Al Qadri, Chief Executive Officer, Evanssion, said, “We are pleasantly surprised at the maturity of the market in understanding API security and the urgent need to proactively protect systems and data.” “The response from our customers has been powerful and I am confident that the shift from ‘Why API Security’ to ‘How’ will be game changing.”

Noname Security provides the most powerful, comprehensive, and user-friendly API security platform. The company discovers and inventories all APIs; uses AI-based behavioral analysis to detect attacks, suspicious behavior, and misconfigurations; prevents attacks and integrates with existing remediation and security infrastructure; and actively validates APIs before deployment.

“Partnering with a leader like Evanssion allows us to deliver best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to local customers through the award winning Noname API Security Platform,” said Dirk Marichal, Vice President EMEA, Noname Security. “APIs have become more important than ever and thus it’s a priority to mitigate the associated risks and keep business APIs secure and out of the headlines. We are delighted that Evanssion has recognized this trend, conducted in-depth market research, and chose Noname Security as their preferred API Security solution.”

Noname analyzes API traffic as well as application and infrastructure configurations to provide better API security posture management, API runtime security, and active API SDLC testing. Unlike other solutions that only monitor API traffic, Noname analyzes API traffic as well as application and infrastructure configurations. Only Noname Security can detect all shadow APIs and API misconfigurations before they cause a problem for the company.
