About Kinan
We're on a mission to protect organizations by empowering their people. Because security is everyone's responsibility.
Building the Human Firewall
Kinan was founded with a simple observation: despite billions spent on security technology, human error remains the leading cause of breaches. We believe the solution isn't more technology—it's empowering people.
Our name 'Kinan' comes from Arabic, meaning 'protection' or 'shield.' It reflects our core mission: to be the shield that protects organizations by building security-conscious cultures.
Today, we serve organizations across the Middle East and beyond, helping them transform their employees from security vulnerabilities into their strongest line of defense.
