CyberKnight, a leading value-added distributor in the Middle East, has announced a partnership with CounterCraft, a global leader in cyber deception and threat intelligence solutions. The move aims to expand CyberKnight’s offerings in the Middle East by integrating CounterCraft’s premier product, The Platform, which detects threats early and provides real-time defence capabilities.
“Attackers are demonstrating they can easily evade traditional defences, which is why we chose to partner with CounterCraft as they provide organisations with the ability to detect threat activity earlier than traditional methods and integrate the platform into existing workflows, tools, and processes. CounterCraft offers customers contextualised threat intel and attack incident data in real time”, said Wael Jaber, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberKnight.
CounterCraft has a strong market reputation for its deception technology solutions and was the only vendor featured in the Gartner Market Guides for threat intel products. The company was also named a Cool Vendor in the 2021 Gartner Cool Vendors in Cyber-Physical Systems Security: Novel Approaches Enter the Scene report.

“Threat intelligence becomes stale within minutes. When it comes to the latest critical vulnerabilities, time is money and knowledge is power: the fresher the threat intel a security team can gather, the better their chances are of defending against a cyber attack. Having CyberKnight as our Middle East VAD allows us to boost our footprint in the region while strengthening cybersecurity postures across enterprise and government organisations”, said David Barroso, CEO and Co-Founder of CounterCraft.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the deception technology market is expected to reach $3.88 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 14.4%. Gartner recommends that technical professionals focused on security should evaluate deception as a “low-friction” method to detect threats inside their environments and as an alternative or complement to other detection and response technologies.
The Platform provides personalised and actionable intelligence, fully integrates with MITRE ATT&CK, and fits seamlessly into existing detection and response security strategies. It consistently catches red teams, lateral movement, and attackers in early recon phases, while integrating contextualised threat intelligence with incident response workflows, and saves money by preventing downtime.
