CyberKnight Technologies, a cybersecurity-focused value-added distributor (VAD) headquartered in Dubai, announced a strategic distribution agreement with Rezilens, the developer of DiGRC, an AI-powered platform for governance, risk, compliance and cybersecurity assurance.
Under this agreement, CyberKnight will distribute DiGRC across its regional footprint spanning the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, the Levant, Egypt and Africa.
The partnership comes at a time when organisations across the Middle East and Africa are under increasing pressure to strengthen cyber resilience.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 found that 41% of CEOs identify regulatory compliance and governance complexities as a major challenge to cyber resilience, while 77% of organisations have already adopted AI for cybersecurity and 87% reported increased AI-related vulnerabilities over
the past year.
In sectors such as banking, government, telecommunications and critical infrastructure, many teams still rely on fragmented tools and manual processes to manage risk, audits and compliance obligations.
This can create operational inefficiencies, limit visibility and increase exposure to regulatory and cybersecurity risk. DiGRC is designed to address these challenges by bringing risk management, compliance tracking, internal audit workflows and cybersecurity assurance into a unified platform.
Built with the regulatory context of the GCC and wider Middle East in mind, DiGRC supports organisations in improving oversight, streamlining workflows and strengthening audit readiness. The platform aligns with recognised frameworks including ISO 27001 and NIST, in addition to relevant regional regulatory requirements.
For CyberKnight, the addition of Rezilens and DiGRC expands its GRC and cybersecurity assurance portfolio and complements its Zero Trust Security methodology. With established channel reach, local market presence and strong
relationships across enterprise and government sectors, CyberKnight is positioned to support the adoption of DiGRC across priority markets in the region.
