Tamkeen Security Now Distributes AIBound Across the Middle East

What Is the Tamkeen Security and AIBound Partnership?

Tamkeen Security is a Saudi Arabia-based value-added cybersecurity distributor, and it now distributes AIBound across the Middle East.

It works with MSSPs and resellers to develop customer opportunities and bring endpoint-level AI security into their enterprise offerings, so security teams in the region can say yes to AI and stay in control of it.

“Organisations across the Middle East are moving quickly with AI, and they need a way to do so with confidence,” said Naser Alshareef, Co-founder, Tamkeen Security.

“Through our MSSP and reseller partners, we can bring AIBound’s visibility, risk insight and controls to enterprises that want to accelerate AI adoption while protecting their data and meeting governance requirements.”

What Does AIBound Do for a Customer?

AIBound stops the high-risk AI on the endpoint in real time, through the device management the customer already runs. It grades every AI agent, MCP server, skill, and prompt A to F on evidence, and gives the customer a full AI inventory within 24 hours of deployment.

Enterprise AI no longer arrives through procurement. An employee installs an AI assistant. A developer wires a model into a production system. An agent is handed credentials and starts acting on its own.

None of it waits for a review board, which leaves security teams maintaining a list of approved AI tools while a different set of AI runs across the estate.

The published results show what that looks like in practice:

• European insurer: found 3,572 AI applications and 47 high-risk systems. Compliant with the EU AI Act 8 weeks before the deadline.
• Manufacturer: found an unvetted MCP server wired into Workday HR records, with 9 installs. F trust score, blocked, 0 records exfiltrated.
• Software company: found an agent with admin access across 14 repositories and 2 admin scopes. Secured.

Why Does AI Security Have to Work at the Endpoint?

Most security tools look at AI from the outside. Gateways read network traffic. XDR reads endpoint processes. AI-SPM tools read cloud and SaaS connectors. None of them list the agents, MCP servers and skills installed on the endpoint, which is where they run.

“A policy cannot govern an AI agent no one knows exists,” said Niall Browne, Co-founder and CEO of AIBound.

“Proxies and network tools have no visibility at the endpoint, and the endpoint is where the AI runs. AIBound reads the AI itself, at the endpoint, and acts inside the agent.

“Working with Tamkeen, channel partners across the Middle East can show a customer every AI resource running in their environment and stop the risky ones before they reach anything sensitive.”

The same evidence feeds the GRC program the customer already runs, mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, rather than standing up a new governance system alongside it.

How Does a Partner Get Started?

A partner starts with a 15-minute scoping call. If it fits, the customer runs AIBound for 30 days in their own environment against success criteria they write, with no proof of concept to negotiate. The customer's full AI inventory arrives within 24 hours of deployment.

1. Scope. Fifteen minutes to agree what the customer needs to see.
2. Connect. AIBound goes out through the UEM or MDM the customer already runs, the same way they push any other app.
3. Look. Within 24 hours of deployment, the partner and the customer are looking at the same list of every AI resource, graded A to F.
4. Decide. The customer sets what is allowed, what needs approval and what is denied. Enforcement starts when the customer authorizes it.

MSSPs and resellers in the region who want to work with AIBound should contact Tamkeen Security at tamkeensecurity.sa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Tamkeen Security?

Tamkeen Security is a Saudi Arabia-based value-added cybersecurity distributor. It works with partners to bring security solutions to organisations in the Kingdom and beyond. Under this partnership it distributes AIBound to MSSPs and resellers across the Middle East.

What is AI Usage Control (AIUC) at the endpoint?

AI Usage Control (AIUC) at the endpoint is finding, grading and stopping the high-risk AI your employees already run, on the endpoints where it runs. That covers agents, MCP servers, skills, models, apps and prompts. It also means keeping evidence for audit.

Does AIBound need new agents or network taps?

No. AIBound deploys through the UEM or MDM a customer already runs, with no network taps, no rip-and-replace and no new agents.

Does AIBound replace our GRC platform?

No. AIBound feeds audit-ready evidence into the GRC program a customer already runs, mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. It supplies the endpoint evidence a GRC platform does not reach.

How long does it take to see results?

A full AI inventory arrives within 24 hours of deployment. Every AI resource in it is graded A to F on evidence, so the team can focus on the few that carry real risk.
