Rapid7 has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Mindware, one of the Middle East and Africa’s leading value-added distributors. The collaboration is aimed at expanding access to advanced cybersecurity solutions across the Gulf region while strengthening partner enablement and customer support.
Under the agreement, Mindware will serve as a strategic distribution partner for Rapid7 across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, and Bahrain. The partnership is designed to accelerate channel growth, enhance cybersecurity adoption, and help organizations strengthen cyber resilience amid a rapidly evolving digital threat landscape.
As businesses across the Middle East continue to invest heavily in digital transformation, demand is growing for integrated security solutions that can simplify operations, improve visibility, and enhance threat response capabilities. Through this partnership, customers will gain access to Rapid7’s AI-powered cybersecurity platform, which combines exposure management, threat detection, response, and managed security services in a unified environment.
“This partnership marks the next phase of our growth in the Middle East bringing modern security operations to the region at scale. Mindware’s regional reach and partner ecosystem make them the right partner to extend these capabilities and strengthen cyber resilience across the market.” — Gopan Sivasankaran, Regional Director – Middle East & Africa, Rapid7
Rapid7 said the collaboration builds on its long-standing presence in the region, where hundreds of enterprises and government organizations rely on its cybersecurity technologies. The company recently expanded its regional footprint with a locally hosted, DESC-certified platform instance to support compliance and data residency requirements.
Mindware will leverage its extensive regional channel network, technical expertise, and value-added services to help Rapid7 recruit new partners, drive technical training, and execute joint go-to-market initiatives. The partnership will also support managed security service providers (MSSPs), systems integrators, and value-added resellers seeking to strengthen their cybersecurity offerings.
According to Mindware, the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to making advanced cybersecurity more accessible across the region by providing partners and customers with the tools, intelligence, and expertise needed to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The alliance underscores both companies’ commitment to supporting national digital transformation initiatives while enabling organizations to adopt modern security operations, reduce cyber risk, and build more resilient digital environments across the Gulf.
