CyberKnight and Rezilens announce strategic distribution agreement
CyberKnight Technologies has announced a strategic distribution agreement with Rezilens, the developer of DiGRC, an AI-powered platform for governance, risk, compliance and cybersecurity assurance. Under this agreement, CyberKnight will distribute DiGRC across its regional footprint spanning the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, the Levant, Egypt and Africa. The partnership comes at a time when organisations across the Middle East and Africa are under increasing pressure to strengthen cyber resilience.
In sectors such as banking, government, telecommunications and critical infrastructure, many teams still rely on fragmented tools and manual processes to manage risk, audits and compliance obligations. This can create operational inefficiencies, limit visibility and increase exposure to regulatory and cybersecurity risk. DiGRC is designed to address these challenges by bringing risk management, compliance tracking, internal audit workflows and cybersecurity assurance into a unified platform.
Built with the regulatory context of the GCC and wider Middle East in mind, DiGRC supports organisations in improving oversight, streamlining workflows and strengthening audit readiness. The platform aligns with recognised frameworks including ISO 27001 and NIST, in addition to relevant regional regulatory requirements.
For CyberKnight, the addition of Rezilens and DiGRC expands its GRC and cybersecurity assurance portfolio and complements its Zero Trust
Security methodology. With established channel reach, local market presence and strong relationships across enterprise and government sectors, CyberKnight is positioned to support the adoption of DiGRC across priority markets in the region.
DXC and Anthropic announce alliance to bring AI into mission-critical systems
DXC Technology has announced a multi-year global partnership with Anthropic, the AI safety company and creator of Claude. Through this joint initiative, DXC becomes one of the few Global Premier partners in the Claude Partner Network.
Together, the companies will train a dedicated workforce of tens of thousands of forward-deployed, Claude-certified engineers and builders to bring Claude models into production inside the mission-critical technology infrastructure systems DXC operates for the world’ s largest banks, airlines, insurers, manufacturers, and government agencies. The alliance builds on DXC’ s existing use of Claude in its own operations, including as the primary development tool used to build DXC OASIS, the company’ s AI-native orchestration platform for managed services. Using Claude models, DXC accelerated DXC OASIS software delivery by an estimated 10x, with more than 95 % of code generated by Claude before human review. Claude now serves as the default foundation model powering DXC OASIS’ s agentic workflows. Launched in April 2026, DXC OASIS is currently deployed across more than 50 customers and will be rolled out across the DXC global customer base.
The alliance and its investments are built around DXC Xponential, the company’ s AI blueprint that connects technology with people and processes – while the Anthropic partnership strengthens it with certified Claude expertise and direct access to Anthropic’ s resources.
