New alliance aims to bring intelligent awareness, compliance automation, and behavior analytics to the region
AmiViz, the Middle East’s leading cybersecurity-focused value-added distributor, has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with PhishRod, a global player in human risk management, to deliver advanced cybersecurity awareness and policy compliance solutions across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
“Our goal is to transform employees from potential vulnerabilities into a strong line of defence.” — Ilyas Mohammed, COO, AmiViz
With phishing and social engineering attacks growing in frequency and complexity, this partnership arrives at a crucial moment for organizations struggling to address the “human layer” of cybersecurity. PhishRod’s AI-powered platform enables companies to identify and influence risky user behavior, automate incident response, and ensure policy adherence in line with global and regional standards such as NESA, SAMA, and GDPR.
“We are excited to onboard PhishRod to our growing portfolio of cybersecurity solutions,” said Ilyas Mohammed, Chief Operating Officer at AmiViz. “Their localized and analytics-driven platform fills a major gap for CISOs looking to reduce human risk and ensure compliance in today’s threat landscape.”
PhishRod offers a multilingual, fully customizable suite designed to deliver region-specific training, phishing simulations, and real-time user behavior analysis. Its analytics dashboard provides visibility into end-user risk levels and effectiveness of awareness programs, allowing organizations to personalize interventions and measure ROI on cybersecurity training.
“This strategic partnership with AmiViz marks a major milestone in our expansion journey,” said Syed Abid Ali, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of PhishRod. “Their market reach and cybersecurity expertise in MENA will help us accelerate our mission to ‘Address the Human Risk’ and build stronger cyber resilience across the region.”
The partnership is expected to help enterprises across finance, government, healthcare, and other high-risk sectors improve employee awareness, reduce incident response time, and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
