AmiViz and PhishRod Unite to Bolster Human Risk Management in the Middle East

AmiViz, a prominent cybersecurity-focused value-added distributor based in the Middle East, has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with PhishRod. Through this agreement, AmiViz will offer PhishRod’s complete range of cybersecurity solutions throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

PhishRod: Tackling Human Risk in Cybersecurity

Headquartered in the United States, PhishRod specializes in managing human-related cybersecurity risks. Its platform helps organizations address employee vulnerabilities by automating security awareness, managing phishing incident responses, and ensuring compliance with internal and external policies.

Addressing the Surge in Phishing Threats

As phishing attacks and social engineering tactics grow more advanced, organizations in the MENA region are increasingly prioritizing the human element of cybersecurity. This partnership arrives at a crucial time when there’s a pressing demand for advanced security awareness tools that go beyond conventional training programs.

Ilyas Mohammed, Amiviz's Chief Operating Officer, stated, “We are excited to onboard PhishRod to our growing portfolio of cybersecurity solutions. Their platform addresses a major pain point for CISOs and security teams—how to transform employees from potential vulnerabilities into strong lines of defence. PhishRod’s focus on localised content, behaviour analytics, and compliance automation makes it a great fit for the regional market.”

Customizable, Compliant, and Insight-Driven Platform

PhishRod’s platform supports multiple languages, offers deep customization, and adheres to major compliance standards including NESA, SAMA, and GDPR. Its built-in analytics engine empowers security teams to identify at-risk users, monitor training effectiveness, and deliver targeted awareness content to strengthen organizational resilience.

Syed Abid Ali, Co-Founder & CCO of PhishRod, said, “This strategic partnership with AmiViz marks a significant step forward in our growth journey. As a leading cybersecurity distributor in the Middle East and North Africa, AmiViz brings deep market understanding and an extensive reach. Together, we will amplify our mission to ‘Address the Human Risk’ and support organisations in building stronger cyber resilience.”
