Karen IT Named Among Top 5 Winners of the AWS/CTIB Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator

Karen IT is proud to announce that we have been named one of the Top 5 Winners of the AWS/CTIB Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator, a program organized in collaboration with the UAE Cyber Security Council, Etisalat, CrowdStrike, and Cisco. This recognition reflects our continued commitment to advancing threat intelligence, cybercrime investigation, and enforcement capabilities for clients across government, internet infrastructure, and enterprise sectors.

The closing ceremony was honored by the presence of H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Chairman of the UAE Cyber Security Council, underscoring the significance of this milestone for the nation's cybersecurity ecosystem.
Founded by Karen Yousefi, Karen IT has spent nearly a decade building platforms that protect the internet at scale — including URLAbuse, our threat intelligence and phishing detection system; DBL, KitWatch; and KTSC. Being selected among the Top 5 by such a distinguished panel of partners marks a major milestone in our mission to bring proactive, intelligence-driven cybersecurity solutions to a global stage.

We are honored to be recognized among the top performers in the region's cybersecurity ecosystem, and we remain committed to expanding our impact internationally.
