CyberKnight signs partnership with Forescout to offer complete asset intelligence and control across IT, OT and IoT  

As environments continue to multiply in size and complexity, many organisations struggle to achieve full visibility across their entire estate—especially as they migrate to cloud environments.

According to Gartner, cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) is an emerging technology that enables security teams to solve persistent asset visibility and vulnerability challenges.

Gartner anticipates the number of organisations with ≥95% asset visibility will grow to 20% by 2026, up from less than one percent today. 

To support enterprise and government organisations across Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META) to better identify, protect and ensure the compliance of all cyber assets, CyberKnight has become a value-added distributor for Forescout, a global cybersecurity leader in CAASM and NAC for IT, IoT and OT.

The Forescout Platform delivers comprehensive capabilities for network security, risk and exposure management, and extended detection and response. With seamless context sharing and workflow orchestration via ecosystem partners, it enables customers to effectively manage cyber risk and mitigate threats. Forescout was recognised as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Access Control (NAC) for four consecutive years. 

“With the exponential growth of connected devices in IT/OT landscapes, companies are challenged with managing and securing numerous unmanaged and un-agentable assets. Recognising the need to secure these critical assets, Forescout developed a strong value proposition to support organisations with existing visibility gaps. Forescout’s industry-leading technology and commitment to innovation perfectly align with CyberKnight’s vision of delivering best-in-class solutions. By joining forces with Forescout, CyberKnight strengthens its Zero Trust Security portfolio and enhances its ability to offer a complete platform to manage cyber risk, ensure compliance, and mitigate threats,” said Avinash Advani, Founder and CEO at CyberKnight. 

“The enterprise attack surface from connected assets, including unmanaged devices, is outpacing security teams’ ability to protect critical digital assets. With Forescout, organisations can now accurately assess, classify, and quantify the risk severity and exploitability of every connected asset, whether managed or unmanaged.  Our partnership with CyberKnight, a leading cybersecurity VAD, marks a significant step toward empowering organisations to take a proactive stance against evolving threats. Through collaboration with CyberKnight, we aim to accelerate our growth and offer regional organisations most comprehensive tools to defend against ransomware attacks and data breaches,” said Hassan Karhani, General Manager – META at Forescout.
