Inspired by the Art of War by Sun Tzu.
Here is The Art of Cybersecurity Distribution.
Laying Plans
The concept was founded on the simple premise that Cybersecurity distribution in the Middle East was fractured:
- Vendors were not getting the focus they deserved through overcrowded distribution portfolios
- Reseller partners did not derive any value from distribution spurring lack of trust and disloyalty
- Customers were being bombarded by product companies instead of advisors.
Building a focused cybersecurity distributor that could alleviate the market challenges, achieve the business outcomes, and surpass the competition was a real opportunity.
Waging War
Although some distributors attempt to focus on the vendor, the partner or the customer, no one was able to provide value to all three.
CyberKnight’s Art of Cybersecurity Distribution is a unique, transparent and value-driven approach to fixing all three of these problems and maximizing value to vendors, partners and customers simultaneously!
Attack by Stratagem

- Partner Empowerment: Enhanced sales coverage and partner loyalty achieved by a commitment to differentiation and increased profitability

CyberKnight’s business strategy embodies 5 key elements:

Terrain
The Middle East cyber security market size alone was USD 11.38 billion in 2017 is expected to grow to USD 22.14 billion by 2022, at an estimated CAGR of 14.2%*
Simultaneously with the growth, the Middle East is also one of the most targeted regions in the world when it comes to cybersecurity attacks, with cybercrime incidents increasing exponentially.
Therefore, CyberKnight focuses its efforts exclusively on the Middle East with local presence across the region, so that in all key markets, orders can be processed locally and in local currency.
