According to Gartner, “forty-eight percent of board directors rank cyber risk as a top enterprise risk”. Cyber risk incidents can have significant operational, financial, reputational, and strategic consequences.
CyberKnight has been named the Middle East Value Added Distributor (VAD) for SecurityScorecard, a top company in cybersecurity risk ratings, response, and resilience, to help regional enterprises better understand their overall security posture. Regardless of industry, the company offers a comprehensive platform to proactively create a more secure ecosystem for organisations and their vendors, reduce cyber risks, patch up vulnerabilities, and adhere to regulatory standards.
The Q1 2021 report on Cybersecurity Risk Rating Platforms by Forrester New Wave™ has acknowledged SecurityScorecard as a leading provider of cybersecurity risk ratings. One unique feature of SecurityScorecard is its capability to permit customers to transmit their data to and receive data from other third-party solutions. The platform also boasts an extensive range of workflow automations and integrations, covering essential areas such as IT service management, EDR, SIEM, and third-party risk management. These features ensure that customers can access comprehensive threat intelligence to enhance their current security and compliance workflows.
Vivek Gupta, Co-Founder and COO at CyberKnight said “Organizations today are struggling to understand their own security risk posture, including risks associated with their supply chain. This knowledge gap opens them to security vulnerabilities and puts them at risk for data breaches, lost business, and the ensuing damage to their reputations. We are very excited about this partnership with SecurityScorecard so that we can help regional enterprise and government customers articulate risk and ROI to defend against costly cyberattacks.”
Jan Bau, Vice President, EMEA at SecurityScorecard said “SecurityScorecard evaluates cybersecurity risk using data-driven, objective, and continuously evolving metrics that provide visibility into any organization’s information security control weaknesses, as well as potential vulnerabilities throughout the supply chain ecosystem. We are thrilled to partner with CyberKnight, a leading cybersecurity VAD in the Middle East, to increase our footprint in the region while delivering the benefits of cyber risk ratings to CyberKnight’s channel so that they can assess and continuously monitor the cybersecurity posture of their customers.”
