Dubai, UAE: ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce its recognition as a 'Notable Provider' in Forrester's recently released The Managed Detection and Response Services in Europe Landscape, Q2 2025 report. The report provides an overview of 26 MDR providers and serves as a strategic guide for security and risk (S&R) professionals seeking to navigate the evolving European MDR landscape. As outlined in the report*, Forrester defines MDR services as: 'Services that augment extended detection and response (XDR) tools with telemetry from network, identity, cloud, APIs, applications, and other log sources to produce high-fidelity detections, conduct investigations, support remote incident response, enable security automation, initiate threat hunts to identify adversaries that circumvent security controls, and help improve their clients' overall security posture.' In our view, ESET´s inclusion in the report underscores its growing influence in the European cybersecurity market and reaffirms the company's commitment to delivering high-quality, proactive threat detection and response capabilities. 'We are proud to be recognized by Forrester as a Notable Provider in the European MDR landscape,' said Michal Jankech, Vice President, Enterprise & SMB/MSP, at ESET. 'For us, this acknowledgment is a testament to the relentless dedication of our global teams and our unwavering commitment to protecting organizations across Europe with cutting-edge, resilient cybersecurity solutions. As the threat landscape becomes increasingly complex and adversaries more sophisticated, we believe that MDR must evolve beyond traditional detection and response. At ESET, we are focused on delivering intelligent and cost-effective services that not only detect threats but also empower organizations to respond with speed, precision, and confidence.' The European MDR market is becoming increasingly competitive and mature, leading customers to demand better services at lower costs. To stay competitive, providers are innovating with their offerings and pricing. As a consequence, S&R professionals will have a wide range of provider options to consider. The Forrester report identifies three major dynamics shaping the MDR market in Europe, all of which align closely with ESET's MDR offerings: European firms consider XDR an essential capability: ESET's XDR-enabling solution delivers comprehensive, transparent threat visibility and response across endpoints, networks, and applications.

Zero Trust security Partnership Brings ON2IT to Middle East
Home » Tech Value Chain » Distributors » CyberKnight, ON2IT Announce Zero Trust Partnership CyberKnight, a leading value-added distributor in the Middle East focused on Zero Trust Security, has announced a new strategic partnership with ON2IT. ON2IT is known as the pioneer of Zero Trust as a Service (ZTaaS). The partnership aims to support enterprise and government organizations across the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META). The goal is to help them move away from perimeter-based cyber defenses. According to the companies, this unified Zero Trust framework is designed to lower cyber risk, improve compliance, and reduce operational costs. Gartner reported that by 2026, 10% of large enterprises will have a mature Zero Trust program. This is a significant increase from less than 1% today. Forrester's Chase Cunningham stated, 'Zero Trust is no longer optional.' The announcement highlights that AI-driven threats and geopolitical risks make Zero Trust a business necessity today. ON2IT's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service runs on the AUXO™ platform. It processes log data from IT, OT, and cloud sources without traditional SIEM complexity. Each event is analyzed in real time and retrospectively using the AUXO Threat Intel Feed™. Then, the data is routed through EventFlow™. If needed, it is escalated to ON2IT's 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). This prevention-first approach: Blocks attacks before escalation Reduces data-storage and tool sprawl Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberKnight, revealed, 'Current security stacks weren't built for today's cyber war.' He added that adding ON2IT's ZTaaS gives META customers access to proven Zero Trust services. Marcel van Eemeren, CEO and Co-founder of ON2IT, stated, 'CyberKnight and ON2IT are proud to join forces.' He said their services are modular, scalable, and tailored to each organization's needs. He also noted that META clients will gain access to global Zero Trust strategies, no SIEM required, and no compromises needed.
