Evanssion and CYBER RANGES together to boost cyber resiliency

Evanssion, a Middle East and Africa-based value-added distributor (VAD) specializing in Cloud Native and Cybersecurity, has announced a distribution partnership with CYBER RANGES by Silensec, a next-generation military-grade full-content-lifecycle cyber range for the development of cyber capabilities, competency assessment, and organizational cyber resilience. According to the terms of the agreement, Evanssion will provide the entire portfolio of world-class cybersecurity training and capability development exercises from CYBER RANGES to enterprises in the Middle East region.

Human behavior continues to be the leading cause of security breaches, accounting for up to 95% of all incidents. The changing business models and market conditions are also expanding the attack surface, leaving security teams stretched thin. Regional businesses must assess their preparedness in the event of an attack and determine whether their resources are capable of handling such incidents efficiently. According to Gartner, by 2022, 15% of larger enterprises will be using a cyber range to develop the skills of their security teams, up from less than 1% today. CYBER RANGES can assist regional organizations in preparing for and surviving cyber-attacks by simulating real-life attack scenarios in a secure, isolated environment.

Commenting on the collaboration, Navneeth Ramanan, Assistant Vice President – Sales for Evanssion, said, “We are thrilled to sign up with CYBER RANGES for the Middle East region. Adding the domain of cyber range solutions to Evanssion’s portfolio enables us to present CYBER RANGES and its world-class offerings to the region at a time when cybersecurity is a top priority for every business across verticals. We will work closely with our partners to promote CYBER RANGES exercises and play a key role in empowering regional businesses to boost their cybersecurity posture, capability, and resilience.”

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Al Graziano, CEO for CYBER RANGES, said, “We welcome the opportunity to work with Evanssion. Team Evanssion is passionate about value-added solutions that unlock tremendous business value for our clients in the GCC region through secure digital transformation, cost effectiveness, ease of implementation and fast ROI. It is not about just their full specialist appreciation of our CYBER RANGES technology and TOAR approach to threat-informed cyber defense. We greatly value Evanssion’s transparent corporate culture, inspiring work environment and technical ambition to service our growing CYBER RANGES market.”

Through its CYBER RANGES offerings, Evanssion and its extensive partner network will raise awareness and conduct large-scale cyber drills for organizations in the region to test their cyber resiliency. The distributor will also hold training sessions for its partners in order to better equip them to position CYBER RANGES solutions to regional customers.
