Centre Lane Partners announces strategic partnership with Investcorp

Centre Lane Partners, a private investment firm focused on private equity and private credit investments in the North American middle market, has entered into a partnership with Investcorp’s Strategic Capital Group (ISCG). The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The partnership with ISCG provides Centre Lane with long-term strategic capital to continue its successful strategy of investing in the debt and equity of middle market companies in North America.

“This transaction is a notable milestone for Centre Lane and we believe it will position us to even better serve our investors by further investing in our business as we continue to grow our existing strategies,” Quinn Morgan and Ken Lau, co-founders and managing directors of Centre Lane, said in a statement. “Investcorp is a global leader in the middle market, shares our vision for providing best-in-class investment services, and we are delighted to have them as a supportive long-term partner.”

Under the terms of the agreement, ISCG would be a passive, non-voting partner to Centre Lane. There will be no changes to Centre Lane’s team, strategy, execution of its investment process or day-to-day operations in connection with the partnership. Centre Lane intends to utilize the transaction proceeds to increase its capital commitments toward its investments and continue to grow its private credit and special opportunities platforms.

“Under Quinn and Ken’s leadership, Centre Lane has established itself as a leading middle market investment firm with an outstanding reputation,” said Anthony Maniscalco, managing partner and head of ISCG. 

“We believe that Centre Lane is differentiated from its peers by its combined expertise in private equity, private credit, operational value-add, and is well-positioned for continued success,” said Loai Alarayedh, head of Gulf institutions at Investcorp. “We look forward to supporting the firm as it focuses on continuing to generate superior returns for investors.” 

Launched in 2019, Investcorp’s Strategic Capital Group seeks to be a long-term strategic partner to mid-sized alternative asset managers.

Cyberani achieves major milestone in 2025 MITRE ATT&CK evaluation

Cyberani by Aramco Digital, a leading provider of cybersecurity services and solutions, announced a significant achievement in the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK evaluations. The company successfully passed all assigned cybersecurity assessments and scored exceptional marks in detecting seven core attack tactics within the MITRE ATT&CK framework. These include 100 percent in collection tactics, 100 percent in credential access, 100 percent execution of code, 100 percent of data exfiltration, 100 percent lateral movement tactics, 100 percent of persistence activities, and 100 percent recon activities. This accomplishment reflects Cyberani’s strong capabilities in safeguarding the national cyberspace and enhancing its security posture, while reinforcing its position in the global cybersecurity field and demonstrating the advancement of its innovations on an international scale.

Alongside its technical performance in the evaluation, Cyberani was granted a seat on the ATT&CK Evals Participant Advisory Council. This position enables the company to contribute to the development and refinement of future evaluation methodologies, support better alignment between ATT&CK assessments and the needs of regional and global defense ecosystems, and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s role in shaping the future of cybersecurity worldwide.

The MITRE ATT&CK evaluation is an advanced technical assessment designed to simulate real adversary behavior and measure how cybersecurity solutions and threat detection services respond to the tactics, techniques, and procedures used in actual attacks. Through its participation, Cyberani aligned its threat detection capabilities with the ATT&CK framework widely adopted across the global cybersecurity community, providing measurable and transparent insights into system performance under complex and realistic attack scenarios.

Headquartered in Riyadh, Cyberani leverages extensive hands-on experience in protecting industrial environments and critical infrastructure. This expertise enables the company to bring national operational realities into a broader ATT&CK context and support the global community in deepening its understanding of threat detection performance across diverse operating environments.

During the 2025 evaluation, Cyberani’s threat detection capabilities and security monitoring services were tested against a wide range of ATT&CK techniques. The results provided a detailed view of how its detection systems responded to every phase of simulated attack chains, offering clear visibility into coverage areas performing as intended and identifying opportunities for further tuning and enhancement. These insights now fuel Cyberani’s cybersecurity development roadmap and support its ongoing improvement efforts.

Saeed Alsaeed, CEO of Cyberani, said that Cyberani’s participation in the MITRE ATT&CK evaluations and the results achieved in its threat detection capabilities provided the company with a structured and transparent understanding of its performance across complex attack scenarios and enabled it to implement more precise enhancements.

This milestone aligns with Cyberani’s strategy to safeguard regional infrastructure with advanced cyber solutions, fueled by innovation and empowered by world-class Saudi talent.
