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.

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.
