What Evad Me does

Evad Me is a Dubai-headquartered cybersecurity Value-Added Distributor (VAD) operating across the Middle East and Africa through offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Kenya. The company combines the distribution of 16+ third-party cybersecurity vendor products — spanning data and identity security (EfficientIP DDI, DataPatrol, SealPath, miniOrange, RevBits, Segura), network solutions (EfficientIP, LogicVein, Cloudmon), and security services (Censys, OctoXLabs, Levo, FourCore, SecOps, HarfangLab, GLIMPS, FileOrbis) — with an in-house service portfolio covering cybersecurity consultation, implementation, security assessment, vulnerability assessment, 24/7 Level 1/Level 2 support, and vendor-authorized training programs.

Evad's go-to-market is channel-led, leveraging a network of 235+ partners across MEA alongside direct enterprise engagement, with management indicating that approximately 88% of projects are delivered to government, BFSI, telco, and large enterprise clients. The company's value proposition rests on localized technical expertise, certified training, and an integrated support ecosystem delivered within sub-24-hour SLAs, rather than on proprietary technology of its own. Revenue is generated through a mix of distribution margin on third-party products, project-based implementation fees, recurring managed support contracts, and fee-based consulting and training services, with pricing conducted on a quote basis and not publicly disclosed.

The company is privately held, with no disclosed funding history, parent entity, or institutional shareholders. Its most prominent recent strategic action is the June 2026 distribution partnership with Censys for the MEA region, which extends the Censys Internet Intelligence and Attack Surface Management platform into the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. Overall, Evad functions as a regional integration and enablement layer for global cybersecurity vendors seeking compliant, on-the-ground reach into MEA enterprise and government accounts.
