We are driven by one single mission

Deliver great technology
to emerging markets

The Kernel was founded on a simple idea: that organisations inthe Middle East and Africa deserve access to the same quality of cybersecurity expertise as anywhere else in the world. We are a cybersecurity distributor. But that description does not quite cover it. We are also the technical team that helps partners understand what they are selling, the training resource that helps organisations get adoption right, and the regional bridge between innovative vendors and the markets they want to reach.

How we operate

Our Roadmap

The way we work has been shaped by three decades of operating in markets where trust is hard-won and technology adoption takes time. These five principles guide how we find new solutions, bring them to market, and support the partners and organisations we work with.

Recognize, then realize

We’re always looking for new solutions. We seek out emerging technologies. We identify every potential for cyber security. And once verified, we make it accessible.

Teach, then guide

We share knowledge simply and effectively. We tell the whys and then show the hows. We are there to guide, at the start, and throughout.

Provide, then protect

We nurture the kind of trust you have with your own family. We implement the solutions and stay connected so our customers will always feel protected. They know we always have their backs.

Build, then grow

We build relationships that benefit our vendors, our channel partners and our direct clients. We develop markets for new solutions, and expand our partnership network to make them more accessible. We commit to this process to ensure mutual growth.

Create, then foster

We build a community of like-minded individuals and organizations. We help each other to reach our vision.
