All vendors
12 specialist vendors.
One focused area: identity, authentication, and security operations.
Every vendor in our portfolio was chosen because it addresses a real, specific problem. We do not carry general-purpose security tools. We carry the solutions that address the specific gaps that attackers exploit.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Kernel distributes 12 vendors: 1Password and Bitwarden (password and passkey management), Yubico (hardware security keys), Pointsharp (MFA and PKI), Gluu (open-source IAM), Fudo Security (privileged access), IS Decisions (Active Directory MFA), Energy Logserver (SIEM and SOAR), Skysnag (DMARC), Aikido Security (application security), EgoMind (YubiKey lifecycle) and CyberHeed (compliance automation).
Yes. The Kernel distributes Yubico, 1Password and Bitwarden across the UAE and wider MEA region to enterprise and government buyers. This is enterprise distribution with deployment support and technical enablement — not consumer retail, which sells the same hardware without implementation services.
The Kernel selects vendors that address a specific, identifiable security gap, not general-purpose tooling. All 12 sit within identity, authentication or security operations. The constraint is deliberate: a narrow portfolio means each vendor gets real technical investment rather than a catalogue listing.
Yes. The Kernel supports evaluation, solution architecture, deployment, integration with existing systems, and training. Support continues after go-live as requirements change. Pre-sales and implementation questions are answered regionally rather than escalated to a vendor abroad.
Resellers, integrators and consultancies can join The Kernel's partner network to add specialist identity and authentication vendors to their portfolio, gaining technical depth, product training and direct vendor relationships. The network currently exceeds 200 organisations across three continents.
A vendor entering MEA needs a partner that understands the product technically, holds established channel relationships, and can navigate local procurement and compliance. The Kernel provides this for identity, authentication and security operations vendors, building a partner network around the technology.
A specialist distributor adds regional technical support, local procurement handling and implementation capability that vendor direct channels rarely provide in MEA. The Kernel evaluates the technology, designs the architecture and trains the team. Direct models typically supply licences and documentation only.
The Kernel distributes Fudo Security for privileged access management, protecting against privileged credential breach and access abuse. IS Decisions covers Active Directory access control and auditing, and Energy Logserver correlates privileged session activity. These are usually deployed together, not in isolation.
