CyberKnight Signs with Certes to Provide the Industry's Most Advanced DPRM Platform

(MENAFN- cyber Knight Technologies) Dubai, UAE — February 27th, 2024 — The global average cost of a data breach in 2023 surged to USD 4.45 million, marking a significant 15% increase over 3 years. With breaches occurring every 39 seconds, these alarming statistics underscore the need for organizations to reevaluate their approach to safeguarding their sensitive information. Amidst these concerns, recent research also shows that 61% of risk executives say data protection and privacy regulations are their biggest priorities. However, while traditional Network security defenses are essential, they are not sufficient to ensure data safety in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.

To support enterprise and government organizations across MENA to better protect and encrypt their sensitive data, CyberKnight has become a value-added distributor for Certes, the industry’s leading Data Protection and Risk Mitigation (DPRM) providers. Certes execute a business risk mitigation solution designed to safeguard data at its source, ensuring protection throughout its journey and mitigating the impact of regulatory fines in the event of a breach.

DPRM comprises of four key pillars featuring Layer 4 Data Payload Protection, Separation of Key Policy Ownership, Crypto-Segmentation, and Data Security Unified Reporting. Together they help to build a foundation of business success and genuine data protection, empowering organizations to take a proactive approach that prioritizes prevention over cure.

Certes patented technology applies protection to the Data Payload without impacting any other part of the IP packet information, so all traditional network security and reporting tools function the same after DPRM is inserted into the network as it did before. It is transparent to other network devices.

“Certes complements our Zero Trust Security portfolio and allows us to offer a simple solution that ensures maximum security with improved efficiency and lower management overhead to organizations with highly sensitive data or multiple sites. With the DRPM solution from Certes, our customers can be sure that their data assurance posture will scale to support the depth and breadth of their environment, whether deployed top-of-rack, in a virtual environment, between data centers and applications or simply just across the WAN or SD-WAN,” commented Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberKnight.

"We are delighted to be partnering with CyberKnight and helping to empower organizations across the Middle East and North Africa to take a proactive data-centric approach against the rising threats of data breaches and ransomware attacks. The DPRM solution seamlessly integrates with existing security infrastructures, delivering unparalleled performance without any disruptions, and offering substantial cost and time efficiencies to our valued customers.
