Sandhya D'MelloSeptember 8, 2025, 11:26 pmSeptember 15, 2025
Tarek Kuzbari, VP Sales at Picus Security, and Ahmed Diab, COO, StarLink.

Dubai –  StarLink, an Infinigate Group company, a Trusted Advisor for Cyber, Secure Cloud and Secure Networks solutions in the MEA region has announced a new distribution agreement with Picus Security, a leading Security Validation Platform that empowers organisations to proactively measure and improve cyber resilience.

The Picus Security Validation Platform allows security teams to simulate real-world attack scenarios, continuously and automatically validating exploitable vulnerabilities while assessing the effectiveness of security controls. It offers solutions such as Adversarial Exposure Validation, Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS), Automated Penetration Testing, Detection Rule Validation, and AI-Powered Risk Insight (Numi). Crucially, the platform integrates seamlessly with NGFW, EDR/XDR, SIEM, and SOAR, providing end-to-end validation of security control performance.

“We are thrilled to add Picus Security to our solutions portfolio,” said Ahmed Diab, COO, StarLink.

“The Picus Security Validation Platform seamlessly integrates with numerous technologies, aligning perfectly with our integrated solutions go-to-market strategy. This partnership will empower our partners with a comprehensive solution stack, enabling them to deliver a holistic cybersecurity approach to their customers.”

StarLink will leverage its role as a Trusted Value-Added Distributor (VAD) to drive market growth for Picus Security. With strong regional expertise, StarLink is well-positioned to provide on-ground sales and technical support, marketing intelligence, and access to a network of over 1,500 partners across the MEA region. This extensive reach will give Picus Security a powerful go-to-market advantage to help organisations strengthen their cyber defenses, prioritise vulnerabilities, and enhance readiness against real-world threats.

Tarek Kuzbari, VP Sales at Picus Security, said, “We are excited to partner with StarLink to expand our reach across the Middle East and Africa, combining their strong regional presence with our leading Risk Validation Platform to help organisations enhance their cyber resilience. This partnership comes at a critical stage of the hyper-growth Picus is experiencing, as we tailor our solutions to leading enterprises in the market. With the rapid expansion of attack vectors and the increasing sophistication of threats, the Picus platform has become a vital element in validating security controls and enabling organisations to stay one step ahead of attacks.”
