Evanssion, a leading cybersecurity value-added distributor in the Middle East, has announced a strategic partnership with HackerOne. This collaboration aims to bring top-tier bug bounty, pentesting, and vulnerability disclosure programs to enterprises across the region. By leveraging HackerOne’s human-powered security platform, businesses in the Middle East can identify and fix critical security vulnerabilities proactively. The partnership seeks to strengthen the region’s cybersecurity posture and equip organizations with cutting-edge tools to stay ahead of cybercriminals.

Cybersecurity threats in the Middle East have escalated, with a worrying 17% increase in cyberattacks in 2023. Essential sectors like finance, energy, and government are being targeted at an alarming rate. As digital transformation accelerates, organizations are facing growing risks from ransomware, data breaches, and other cyber threats. HackerOne’s human-powered security services provide a cost-effective, proactive approach, detecting vulnerabilities that traditional security methods often miss. The platform’s vulnerability detection is 35% more affordable compared to conventional methods, delivering high-value protection for regional enterprises.

HackerOne stands out in human-powered security, with 61% of its customers discovering more vulnerabilities than traditional vendors. Notably, 22.75% of valid vulnerabilities identified through bug bounty programs are classified as high or critical, a significant increase compared to less than 1% found by automated scanners. Additionally, 18% of findings from HackerOne’s pentest services are rated as high or critical severity, nearly doubling the industry average.

“At Evanssion, our focus remains on empowering enterprises to advance their cybersecurity strategies. This partnership with HackerOne is both strategic and timely. By combining our regional expertise with HackerOne’s global leadership, we are poised to deliver exceptional value to our partners and customers in the Middle East,” stated Navneeth Ramanan, COO of Evanssion.
