CyberKnight Technologies concluded a landmark three days at GISEC Global 2026 at Expo City Dubai.
The company brought 16 technology vendors together under one integrated Zero Trust strategy, signed strategic MOUs with Harness and Asimily, launched the region’s first Women in Cybersecurity series, received an official award from Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, and celebrated its ecosystem with an exclusive Gala Dinner.
The stand at GISEC was among the most distinctive at the event, featuring dedicated zones across five
security pillars:
- AI driven SOC automation and threat detection (CrowdStrike, Swimlane, NetWitness, Group-IB)
- Data protection and quantum readiness (Certes Networks)
- Operational cyber resilience (Rezilens, Immersive, CounterCraft)
- Identity security and Zero Trust access (Netwrix, Appgate)
- Application security, OT, IoT and cyber physical resilience (Harness, Invicti, Xage Security,
Forescout, Asimily, SolarWinds).
“Our role is not simply to put more cybersecurity products into the market. Security teams already have enough technology to manage. The real challenge is making those technologies work together so customers can move from identifying a risk to governing it, containing it, and recovering from it. That is where our Zero Trust approach helps customers operationalise resilience, not just buy more tools”, Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer, CyberKnight Technologies.
Two strategic distribution agreements were formalised on the show floor. The first expanded CyberKnight’s DevSecOps and application security portfolio through a partnership with Harness, following Harness’s acquisition of Traceable. The second, an MOU with Asimily, strengthened the company’s cyber asset and exposure management capabilities across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT environments.
CyberKnight entered GISEC with recognition from two key partners. CrowdStrike presented its Aspiring Star Award in acknowledgment of rapid regional growth and expanding Falcon platform adoption, while Group-IB named the company Distributor of the Year 2025 META for outstanding performance across enterprise and government customers. Together the two awards reflect the confidence the vendor community places in CyberKnight’s ability to grow markets and build ecosystems across the Middle East and Africa.
On the community front, the company launched its Women in Cybersecurity series at GISEC — a long term initiative bringing together senior women leaders from across the vendor ecosystem to advance diversity, mentorship, and leadership in the region’s cybersecurity industry. Separately, CyberKnight received an official participation award presented by Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, accepted by Avinash Advani, Founder and CEO, and Swapna Nair, Director of Marketing.
“GISEC 2026 was a defining moment for CyberKnight. The partnerships we announced, the recognition we received, and the community we brought together reflect the trust our ecosystem places in us. We leave more committed than ever to delivering world class cybersecurity capabilities to the Middle East and Africa”, Swapna Nair, Director Marketing, CyberKnight Technologies.
CyberKnight concluded its participation with an exclusive Gala Dinner bringing together customers, partners, and industry leaders from across the region. Two of our strategic vendors were recognised with top honours, with CrowdStrike receiving the Vendor of the Year award and SolarWinds being named Revenue Growth Champion.
