klearis Reaches Distribution Agreement with IMST in Turkiye

Ankara, Turkiye, 27 August 2026: klearis, the Turkiye-based cybersecurity company specializing in Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology, today announced that it has reached an agreement under which IMST will serve as the exclusive distributor of klearis CDR in Turkiye. Under the partnership, IMST will handle the sales, deployment, and local support of klearis' file sanitization platform for enterprises and public institutions across the country.

A Zero-Trust Answer to File-Borne Threats

Files are the lifeblood of modern business. Every day, organizations exchange millions of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and images with customers, suppliers, and partners. That same flow of files is also one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks. Weaponized Office documents, PDF exploits, macro-based malware, and embedded scripts are engineered to slip past perimeter defenses and reach the one place attackers want them: an end user's inbox or desktop.

The problem is that most security tools try to answer a single question: is this file malicious? Signature-based antivirus engines look for known-bad patterns, and sandboxes detonate files to observe suspicious behavior. Both approaches share the same blind spot. They can only stop what they recognize. Attackers respond by constantly repackaging their payloads, obfuscating malicious code, and building exploits for vulnerabilities that have not yet been disclosed. Against zero-day and previously unseen threats, detection-based defenses inevitably arrive a step too late, and even a single file that slips through can lead to ransomware, data theft, or a full network compromise.

klearis CDR takes a fundamentally different approach. Rather than trying to decide whether a file is safe, it assumes no file can be trusted. Every document that enters the organization is broken down to its structural components, and active or potentially dangerous elements such as macros, embedded objects, scripts, and exploit vectors are stripped away. klearis then rebuilds a clean version of the file to a known-good specification, so what reaches the user is a fully functional document without the hidden risks it may have carried.

Because threats are removed by design rather than by detection, klearis CDR protects against attacks it has never encountered before, including zero-day exploits that no signature or behavioral engine can yet recognize. Just as importantly, it does this without disrupting the way people work: formatting, layout, and usability are preserved, so security operates quietly in the background instead of getting in the way of the business.

What the Partnership Means for Turkish Organizations

As the exclusive distributor, IMST will bring klearis CDR to organizations in government, defense, finance, energy, telecommunications, and other critical infrastructure sectors, combining klearis' technology with IMST's local market presence, delivery capability, and customer relationships.

Customers will be able to deploy klearis CDR across a wide range of channels, including email security gateways, ICAP-compatible web gateways and proxies, managed file transfer and REST API integrations. Throughout the sales and implementation cycle, they will also benefit from local-language support and faster response times.

"File-borne attacks don't wait for signatures to catch up, and neither should defenses. Partnering with IMST lets us bring klearis CDR to many more organizations across Turkiye, backed by the local expertise and support they expect," said Gokmen Guresci - CEO, klearis.

"CDR closes a gap that detection-based security cannot. We are proud to represent klearis in Turkiye and to help our customers adopt a technology that removes threats from files before they ever reach a user," said Yunus Balcı - CEO, IMST.
