CyberKnight and ON2IT have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration is aimed at helping enterprise and government organizations across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META) move away from perimeter-based defenses. Their unified Zero Trust framework lowers cyber-risk, bolsters compliance and reduces operational cost.

According to Gartner, the Zero Trust approach delivers the resilience to mitigate cyber risk, enables modern business capabilities and a hybrid workforce, and provides the flexibility to enable appropriate access methods, while removing implicit access based on location. By 2026, 10 percent of large enterprises will have a mature and measurable Zero Trust program in place, up from less than 1 percent today.

Meanwhile Forrester’s Principal Analyst, Chase Cunningham, said, “Zero Trust is no longer optional.” These analyst findings underline an urgent reality: in a fast-changing world defined by AI-driven threats and escalating geopolitical tensions, Zero Trust has become a business necessity, not a ‘nice-to-have’.

“Current security stacks weren’t built for today’s cyber war,” said Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberKnight. “By adding ON2IT’s Zero Trust as a Service to our portfolio, we give META customers direct access to globally proven Zero Trust Readiness, Fast Track and Coaching services, empowering them to adopt Zero Trust with confidence, clarity and ease.”

ON2IT’s Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service runs on its AUXO security platform, which ingests log data from any IT, OT or cloud source -without the complexity of a traditional SIEM. Each event is analyzed both in real time and retrospectively against the AUXO Threat Intel Feed™. It’s then routed through EventFlow and, when necessary, escalated to ON2IT’s 24/7 SOC. The result is a prevention-first approach that blocks attacks before they escalate while cutting data-storage overhead and tool sprawl.

“CyberKnight and ON2IT are proud to join forces to offer globally leading Zero Trust consulting services across the Middle East and Africa,” said Marcel van Eemeren, CEO & Co-founder of ON2IT. “With a decade of Zero Trust leadership and a SOC-driven, prevention-first approach, ON2IT delivers modular, scalable services tailored to each organization’s unique needs. Through this partnership, META organizations gain the same Zero Trust strategies trusted by global leaders and mandated by governments, no SIEM required, no trade-offs made.”

Qualys has announced the expansion of its invite-only managed Risk Operations Center (mROC) Partner Alliance with seven new global partners, including Teksalah from the Middle East. This marks a significant step forward in Qualys’ mission to build a robust Risk Operations Center (ROC) ecosystem—making business-aligned cyber risk management more accessible, actionable, and measurable for organizations worldwide.

Built on the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management Platform, the ROC framework consolidates risk signals across an organization’s digital footprint into a single pane of glass. It enables Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), cyber risk quantification, and risk remediation, empowering CISOs to translate cyber risk into business terms, ensure audit readiness, and build long-term resilience.

The mROC Partner Alliance equips partners to drive growth by delivering enhanced Qualys-powered ROC services that transform how enterprises measure, manage, and reduce cyber risk. The expanded roster of partners brings world-class expertise to help organizations overcome common cybersecurity challenges such as fragmented tools, disjointed risk response, and limited visibility—enabling a proactive approach to managing cyber risk at scale.

“When we introduced the concept of the Risk Operations Center, we knew it had the potential to redefine how organizations manage cyber risk,” said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys. “Today, with the launch of our inaugural global mROC partners, we’re delivering on that vision. This is a major milestone in building a thriving ROC ecosystem—one that helps businesses around the world take control of cyber risk with clarity, speed, and measurable impact.”

mROC Partners, through a comprehensive suite of risk service offerings, play a critical role in Qualys’ mission to make cyber risk management easier to adopt, more practical to implement, and more impactful for organizations globally. This innovative group of mROC partners has been thoroughly trained and enabled to operate a ROC powered by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM), delivering comprehensive managed risk services. By aggregating and analyzing risk signals from both Qualys and third-party tools, they offer their clients a holistic, business-aligned view of their risk exposure.

“The Teksalah and Qualys partnership is built on a shared vision — to embed a holistic risk-based, proactive approach at the core of enterprise cybersecurity. Through our powerful platforms, intelligent tools, and proven services—covering real-time risk monitoring to effective remediation—we are enabling organizations to manage risk with precision and drive secure innovation. Together, we are transforming our client’s cybersecurity from a control function into a catalyst for business growth and resilience,” commented Murali Konasani, CEO, Teksalah.
