Dubai, United Arab Emirates, February 14, 2024 — Evanssion, a leading cybersecurity and cloud-native security distributor, today announced a distribution partnership with AccuKnox, a prominent leader in Multi-Cloud Security, specializing in CNAPP solutions. This collaboration is strategically designed to address and resolve the complexities that organizations in the Middle East encounter when comprehensively securing multi-cloud environments.

AccuKnox takes a comprehensive and proactive approach to cloud native application protection, focusing on applying zero trust principles across all layers, from identity and network to the application and data layers.
AccuKnox Zero Trust CNAPP secures “Build to Runtime” in minutes offering, Agentless CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) + eBPF, LSM Powered CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform), “Inline Runtime Security” as opposed to post-attack mitigation to prevent advanced “Zero Day” attacks, Supports Public, Private and Hybrid clouds, Secures modern Kubernetes (K8s) and traditional (VM) assets, and 10+ patents, support for IoT/Edge, 5G workloads.
