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.

Germany seeks to levy 10% tax on online platforms like Google
Germany is considering a 10% tax on large online platforms like Alphabet's Google and Meta's Facebook, its new culture minister told magazine Stern, in a move likely to heighten trade tensions with the Trump administration. The proposal comes as Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to travel to Washington soon to meet with US President Donald Trump, although a trip has not yet been officially announced. Trump has in the past said he will not allow foreign governments to "appropriate America's tax base for their own benefit". Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer said his ministry was drafting a legislative proposal while also seeking talks with platform operators that he accused of "cunning tax evasion" to explore alternative solutions like voluntary contributions. "These corporations do billions in business in Germany with extremely high profit margins and benefit enormously from the country's media and cultural output as well as its infrastructure — but they pay hardly any taxes, invest too little, and give far too little back to society," he told Stern in an interview published on Thursday. Alphabet and Meta did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. Germany's ruling parties agreed in a coalition deal earlier this year to impose such a digital services levy. If the government goes ahead with the tax on sales revenue generated by digital services providers within its borders, it would join a raft of other countries to have done so such as Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, India, Austria and Canada. During Trump's first term, the US Trade Representative's office launched a Section 301 investigation into unfair trade practices against several of these countries, finding they discriminated against US companies, paving the way for retaliatory tariffs on certain imports. In February, Trump ordered his trade chief to revive investigations aimed at imposing tariffs on imports from countries that levy digital service taxes on US technology companies. That does not, however, appear to have deterred the new German government, which took office earlier this month. Weimer accused the big digital platforms of building up "monopoly-like structures" that not only restrict competition but also concentrate media power too heavily", posing a risk for freedom of expression. "If Google, under pressure from Donald Trump, unilaterally renames the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America— and simply decrees this due to its enormous power to shape meaning in global communication — then we can see the kinds of problems that lie within the current structures," he said.
