Global artificial intelligence cyber defense company Vehere has announced the appointment of Avientek FZCO as its official distributor for the Middle East region. Through this partnership, Avientek will distribute Vehere's Network Detection and Response (NDR) and Full Packet Capture (PCAP) solutions across its regional reseller ecosystem.
The collaboration is designed to help enterprises, government entities, and critical infrastructure organizations enhance their cyber resilience. The partnership comes at a time when UAE authorities have reported a significant increase in cyber-attacks targeting regional organizations, driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions and the increased use of AI by malicious actors. Official reports indicate that approximately 70% of attacks targeting government platforms, critical infrastructure, and enterprise networks are linked to nation-state actors.
Jagadeesh C, General Manager of Business Development at Avientek, noted that the volume and sophistication of cyber threats across the Middle East continue to rise while customer environments become more complex. He stated that organizations require security extending beyond endpoints to protect broader network environments, including unmanaged devices and connected assets.
Shayshi K Bhalla, General Manager of Sales for the Middle East and Africa at Vehere, highlighted Avientek's regional reach, channel expertise, and customer relationships as key factors that will make the platform more accessible to organizations across the Middle East. He added that the combined technology and regional expertise will help organizations improve threat detection, accelerate investigations, and respond to incidents with greater speed.
This announcement marks the initial phase of a broader collaboration between Vehere and Avientek. Both companies have stated their commitment to developing new opportunities and supporting the growth of advanced cybersecurity capabilities throughout the region.
