      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.466665px;"&gt;Partnership reinforces SilverSky&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.466665px;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.466665px;"&gt;s focus on operational security beyond compliance requirements, leveraging Torq&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.466665px;"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.466665px;"&gt;s AI SOC Platform to accelerate investigation, response, and SOC execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORT LAUDERDALE, FL., &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 27, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;— &lt;a href="https://www.silversky.com/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky&lt;/a&gt;, a leading provider of managed security, MXDR, and advisory services for regulated and high-consequence organizations, today announced a strategic partnership with &lt;a href="https://torq.io/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Torq&lt;/a&gt;, the established agentic security operations leader, to advance SilverSky’s security operations model through the &lt;a href="https://torq.io/soc-teams/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Torq AI SOC Platform&lt;/a&gt; that enables teams to triage, investigate, and respond to threats faster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The partnership reflects SilverSky’s belief that compliance establishes the baseline, but operational security is what truly reduces risk. For organizations facing regulatory, audit, and customer-driven security requirements, controls must do more than exist. They must be actively monitored, investigated, and acted upon with speed, consistency, and accountability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;After conducting an extensive proof of concept across AI SOC automation platforms, SilverSky selected Torq for its abilities to combine AI-driven investigation, response orchestration, and transparent human oversight across the security operations lifecycle. These capabilities strengthen SilverSky’s ability to help customers move beyond static visibility toward more decisive, operationally mature security execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“SilverSky is making a deliberate investment in the backend platform that powers our security operations,” said Thomas Neclerio, President of MDR and CISO at SilverSky. “We conducted an extensive proof of concept across AI SOC automation platforms and selected Torq because we believe they are a leader in the industry and the right strategic partner for where modern SOC operations are headed. In today’s urgent threat environment, time is critical. Reducing time to detection and time to response directly strengthens how we protect our customers. Leveraging Torq helps SilverSky adopt best-in-class technology, advance our operational capabilities, and stay ahead of an increasingly complex threat landscape.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;By integrating Torq into its security operations strategy, SilverSky is strengthening a managed security model built for organizations that need more than alerts, dashboards, or audit readiness. The partnership supports faster, more scalable SOC execution while preserving the experienced human judgment, transparency, and operational accountability customers rely on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;“SilverSky understands that modern security operations require more than alerts and fragmented tools,” said Eldad Livni, CINO and Co-Founder of Torq. “The Torq AI SOC Platform combines agentic AI, contextual reasoning, and autonomous execution to help organizations respond faster, operate more intelligently, and strengthen resilience across the threat lifecycle. SilverSky’s focus on disciplined execution, customer outcomes, and compliance-aware security delivery makes this a strong strategic partnership. Together, we’re helping organizations build AI-driven security operations that are faster, smarter, and more resilient.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bridging the Gap Between Compliance and Security: SilverSky's New Campaign</title>
      <link>http://www.complianceisntsecurity.com/news/bridging-the-gap-between-compliance-and-security-silverskys-new-campaign</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"&gt; 
 &lt;a href="http://www.complianceisntsecurity.com/news/bridging-the-gap-between-compliance-and-security-silverskys-new-campaign" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://www.silversky.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Compliance%E2%89%A0SecurityPRGraphic.png" alt="Bridging the Gap Between Compliance and Security: SilverSky's New Campaign" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New industry perspective highlights the gap between audit readiness and continuously operated security&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Organizations can be compliant and still exposed. SilverSky bridges the gap between compliance requirements and the operational security needed to reduce risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New industry perspective highlights the gap between audit readiness and continuously operated security&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.silversky.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Compliance%E2%89%A0SecurityPRGraphic.png" width="1200" height="628"&gt;Organizations can be compliant and still exposed. SilverSky bridges the gap between compliance requirements and the operational security needed to reduce risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORT LAUDERDALE, FL., &lt;/strong&gt; April 14, 2026 — SilverSky, a trusted cybersecurity partner with nearly three decades of experience securing regulated organizations, today launched its Compliance ≠ Security campaign, highlighting a growing issue for regulated and audit-driven businesses: compliance frameworks define required minimum standards, but they do not always deliver the continuous monitoring, detection, and response necessary to reduce cyber risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As organizations face rising audit demands, greater cyber insurance scrutiny, and a more persistent threat environment, many continue to treat compliance as a measure of security. SilverSky’s position is that the two are related, but not interchangeable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Compliance is important, but it is not the same as security,” said &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/caryconrad/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Cary Conrad&lt;/a&gt;, CEO. “Compliance establishes the baseline. Security is the day-to-day operational discipline required to protect the business. Monitoring, detection, response, and continuous improvement are what close the gap between what is documented and what is truly defended.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;That distinction matters for organizations operating under frameworks such as FFIEC, NCUA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, and ISO. These frameworks provide structure and accountability, but they do not operate security programs. They do not investigate suspicious activity, validate controls in real time, or respond to active threats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;With roots dating back to the late 1990s, SilverSky has spent nearly 30 years helping regulated organizations reduce risk and strengthen resilience. Today, the company delivers that support through three integrated service pillars: Professional Services, Managed Security Services, and Managed Extended Detection and Response, or MxDR.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Together, those services help organizations assess risk, align programs to regulatory requirements, operate critical controls, and improve their ability to detect and respond to threats with greater speed and context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Too many organizations are still secure on paper but exposed in practice,” said &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brucewirt/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Bruce Wirt&lt;/a&gt;, Silversky’s Chief Revenue Officer. “They may have the documentation, the policies, and the tools in place; however, if those controls are not being actively operated, monitored, and improved, significant risk may remain. The market needs a clearer understanding of the difference between compliance status and operational security readiness.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky also sees the issue playing out across the partner channel. As partners work with customers facing growing audit pressure and higher expectations for demonstrable security maturity, they need a practical way to address both compliance alignment and operational protection. SilverSky enables partners to deliver cybersecurity outcomes that support both, without requiring them to build and operate a full SOC on their own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Through flexible engagement models, advisory support, managed security services, and MxDR, SilverSky helps partners strengthen customer trust, expand their security relevance, and deliver long-term value beyond point-in-time compliance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky’s message is not that compliance is unimportant. It is that compliance alone is insufficient. Organizations need to satisfy regulatory expectations while also maintaining the operational readiness to prevent, detect, and respond to threats in the real world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognition reflects long-standing channel leadership and SilverSky’s partner-first approach to cybersecuri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ty.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fort Lauderdale, Florida&lt;/strong&gt; — April 9, 2026 — SilverSky, a trusted, multi-service cybersecurity partner with decades of experience securing regulated organizations, today announced that Chief Revenue Officer Bruce Wirt has been selected for induction into &lt;strong&gt;Channel Futures’ Circle of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt; as an &lt;strong&gt;Industry Leader of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; honoree.

      <content:encoded>&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognition reflects long-standing channel leadership and SilverSky’s partner-first approach to cybersecuri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ty.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fort Lauderdale, Florida&lt;/strong&gt; — April 9, 2026 — SilverSky, a trusted, multi-service cybersecurity partner with decades of experience securing regulated organizations, today announced that Chief Revenue Officer Bruce Wirt has been selected for induction into &lt;strong&gt;Channel Futures’ Circle of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt; as an &lt;strong&gt;Industry Leader of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; honoree. Wirt will be inducted on &lt;strong&gt;Tuesday, April 14&lt;/strong&gt;, at the annual &lt;strong&gt;Circle of Excellence Awards Dinner&lt;/strong&gt; during &lt;strong&gt;Channel Partners Conference &amp;amp; Expo&lt;/strong&gt; in Las Vegas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The Circle of Excellence program recognizes ICT channel leaders who are helping their partners create business value for customers. The program honors executives for vision, innovation, and advocacy of the indirect channel, and recognizes leaders whose investments and contributions strengthen the broader channel ecosystem. This year’s honorees are being recognized across categories, including the newer &lt;strong&gt;Industry Leader of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; distinction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Wirt’s recognition reflects a leadership approach grounded in partner advocacy, practical execution, and long-term ecosystem value. At SilverSky, that same philosophy shapes a channel-first model designed to help partners expand cybersecurity offerings, support customers more effectively, and create durable business value without having to build and operate every security capability themselves. SilverSky’s multi-service model spans &lt;strong&gt;Professional Services, Managed Security Services, and MxDR&lt;/strong&gt;, giving partners access to a broader, more holistic cybersecurity platform through a single operationally mature provider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As CRO, Wirt has helped reinforce SilverSky’s commitment to being a true extension of its partners’ businesses, not a competitor. His leadership has helped strengthen a go-to-market approach centered on operational depth, flexibility, and partner enablement, making it easier for partners to lead with security and deliver meaningful outcomes for customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“I’m honored to be recognized by Channel Futures and included among this year’s Circle of Excellence honorees,” said Wirt. “I’ve been blessed to be part of this ecosystem for nearly 25 years now, and I’m humbled to be listed among the industry’s greats. The channel plays a critical role in helping customers navigate security complexity and make sound decisions for their organizations. At SilverSky, we remain committed to helping partners grow, deliver strong cybersecurity outcomes, and create lasting value for the customers they serve.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;With roots dating back to the late 1990s, SilverSky has built its business around supporting organizations that operate in regulated, high-trust environments. Over time, the company has evolved into a more comprehensive cybersecurity partner with deep experience across advisory services, managed security operations, and advanced detection and response. That breadth, combined with a channel-first mindset, continues to make SilverSky a trusted partner for organizations and partners that value operational maturity, flexibility, and long-term alignment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Wirt’s induction into the Circle of Excellence underscores both his personal commitment to the channel and SilverSky’s broader role as a cybersecurity partner built to support partner growth over time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About SilverSky&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky is a trusted, multi-service cybersecurity partner with decades of experience securing regulated organizations.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;On the heels of Bruce Wirt assuming the role of Chief Revenue Officer, SilverSky today announced the appointment of &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/irafeuerstein/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Ira Feuerstein&lt;/a&gt; as Strategic Partner Manager and &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/krausehalav/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Vlad Krause&lt;/a&gt; as Marketing Coordinator.

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;On the heels of Bruce Wirt assuming the role of Chief Revenue Officer, SilverSky today announced the appointment of &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/irafeuerstein/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Ira Feuerstein&lt;/a&gt; as Strategic Partner Manager and &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/krausehalav/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Vlad Krause&lt;/a&gt; as Marketing Coordinator. These hires mark the next phase of SilverSky’s growth strategy as the company realigns its go-to-market organization to support scalable growth, channel expansion, and increased market visibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As organizations face increasing regulatory pressure, tighter security budgets, and a wider range of threats, SilverSky has focused its go-to-market strategy to be driven through strategic partnerships that both align with Silversky’s business strategy as well as hold trusted advisor status with key stakeholders across multiple positional levels in target customers across the SME and mid-market landscape. Strengthening execution with stronger channel partnerships and a clear differentiating value proposition has become a critical priority in this next phase of growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Ira Feuerstein joins SilverSky with more than 20 years of experience in technology sales, channel development, and cybersecurity. He was the founder of ThreatProtector, a cybersecurity company that achieved rapid growth and was ultimately acquired by a larger organization. Throughout his career, Feuerstein has worked closely with MSPs, agents, and strategic partners, helping them uncover revenue opportunities, position cybersecurity effectively, and compete in demanding markets. In his role, Feuerstein will focus on helping partners not only sell cybersecurity more effectively, but also align services, pricing, and delivery models with long‑term customer outcomes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Feuerstein commented:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“I’m excited to join SilverSky and work with partners who want to grow their cybersecurity business the right way,” said Feuerstein. “Having built and exited a cybersecurity company myself, I understand what partners need to succeed, and SilverSky is uniquely positioned to help them deliver meaningful security outcomes for their customers.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Vlad Krause brings a strong background in digital marketing, having previously worked at a channel‑focused marketing agency specializing in cybersecurity, SaaS, telecom, and IT solutions. At SilverSky, he will lead several marketing initiatives designed to increase brand clarity, strengthen digital engagement, and support demand generation for the company’s advanced cybersecurity services, including its flagship MXDR offering. His work will focus on translating SilverSky’s technical depth and operational maturity into clear, market‑facing narratives that resonate with executives, partners, and security leaders alike.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Krause noted:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Cyber risk is a board‑level concern, and organizations need partners who can translate complex security investments into measurable risk reduction,” Krause noted. “SilverSky is already doing that through its advisory‑led services and managed security operations, which makes this an important moment to help the market better understand its value.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Bruce Wirt said the appointments reinforce SilverSky's focus on disciplined growth execution:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Together, these appointments reflect SilverSky’s continued evolution—aligning leadership, partnerships, and market engagement to support sustainable growth in a rapidly changing cybersecurity environment. As the company scales its MXDR and managed security offerings, its focus remains unchanged: delivering transparency, trust, and measurable risk reduction for customers and partners.“Ira and Vlad bring exceptional expertise that will help us scale in two critical areas—channel development and marketing. Ira’s experience in building successful partner ecosystems will strengthen how we deliver value through the channel, while Vlad’s marketing leadership will amplify our story and drive demand for our cybersecurity services. We will continue to add accomplished high performers to this organization; I’m extremely excited about the weeks and months to come.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About SilverSky&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;SilverSky is a trusted multi-service cybersecurity partner with decades of experience securing regulated organizations.

      <title>SilverSky Enhances Partner Ecosystem with Key Appointments</title>
      <link>http://www.complianceisntsecurity.com/news/silversky-enhances-partner-ecosystem-with-key-appointments</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"&gt; 
 &lt;a href="http://www.complianceisntsecurity.com/news/silversky-enhances-partner-ecosystem-with-key-appointments" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://www.complianceisntsecurity.com/hubfs/Newly-Hired-Strickland-Jake.jpg" alt="SilverSky Enhances Partner Ecosystem with Key Appointments" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky continues to execute on its partner-first growth strategy with the addition of &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/strickland-jones-9175a8/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Strickland Jones&lt;/a&gt; as Strategic Partner Manager and &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakesmallwood/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Jake Smallwood&lt;/a&gt; as Senior Sales Engineer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;These appointments reflect deliberate investment in the two areas that matter most to channel success: relationship alignment and technical execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky continues to execute on its partner-first growth strategy with the addition of &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/strickland-jones-9175a8/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Strickland Jones&lt;/a&gt; as Strategic Partner Manager and &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakesmallwood/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Jake Smallwood&lt;/a&gt; as Senior Sales Engineer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;These appointments reflect deliberate investment in the two areas that matter most to channel success: relationship alignment and technical execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;For partners serving regulated and compliance-driven organizations, cybersecurity is no longer optional or opportunistic. It is operationally required. SilverSky’s role is to make it easier for partners to lead with security without assuming the burden of building and operating a SOC themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strengthening Relationship Depth Across the Channel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Strickland Jones brings extensive experience across wholesale and enterprise technology markets, including voice, data, and cloud services. He has spent his career working within partner-led environments, helping agents and providers navigate complex solution ecosystems and evolving customer expectations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;At SilverSky, Jones will focus on strengthening strategic alignment across the partner ecosystem. His role centers on deepening collaboration, expanding wholesale relationships, and ensuring partners have clear pathways to deliver security services backed by operational maturity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Partners are looking for long-term alignment and credible execution,” said Jones. “SilverSky’s experience serving regulated organizations and its structured service model create a strong foundation for sustainable channel growth.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expanding Technical Depth Behind the Partner Strategy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Jake Smallwood adds more than 15 years of cybersecurity, network engineering, and pre-sales technical consulting experience to SilverSky’s channel organization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As infrastructure and security architectures continue to converge, partners require more than product alignment. They need architectural clarity and engineering support that connects networking, endpoint, cloud, and detection strategies into a cohesive model.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Smallwood will provide channel-focused engineering support, helping partners align networking and security architectures with SilverSky’s Managed Security Services and MXDR framework.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Security and networking can no longer operate independently,” said Smallwood. “SilverSky’s managed services and MXDR model provide a disciplined structure that supports both operational stability and measurable risk reduction.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Executing on a Partner-First Model&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Under the leadership of Chief Revenue Officer Bruce Wirt, SilverSky has aligned its organization around disciplined channel growth. The focus is not transactional expansion. It is operational enablement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Operational maturity only creates value when it aligns with how partners deliver technology,” said Wirt. “Strickland strengthens ecosystem relationships and market reach. Jake reinforces the technical depth behind our channel strategy. Together, they support measurable risk reduction for partners and their customers.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Disciplined Approach to Channel Growth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky’s growth within the channel is grounded in long-term execution, not short-term recruitment. The company’s model is built to help partners:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Lead with cybersecurity without building a SOC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Support regulated and audit-driven customers with confidence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Integrate security into existing Microsoft and third-party environments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Deliver measurable risk reduction through 24x7 operational oversight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As regulatory pressure increases and threat environments grow more complex, SilverSky remains focused on strengthening the ecosystem that supports its partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The strategy remains consistent: build depth, align operationally, and enable partners to deliver security outcomes with confidence and credibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORT LAUDERDALE, March 24th, 2026&lt;/strong&gt; – SilverSky has joined the &lt;a href="https://www.cynet.com/companynews/cynet-launches-partner-advisory-council-to-shape-cybersecurity-channel-strategy/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;2026 Cynet Partner Advisory Council (PAC)&lt;/a&gt;, a select group of global partners working closely with Cynet to help shape platform innovation, partner programs, and go-to-market strategy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The council brings together managed service providers, managed security service providers, and value-added resellers to share real-world perspectives on how cybersecurity is delivered, operated, and scaled across customer environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;For SilverSky, participation reflects a continued focus on operational execution and long-term partnership. Rather than approaching cybersecurity as a set of tools, SilverSky contributes insight grounded in the day-to-day realities of running security operations across regulated and compliance-driven organizations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Contributing Real-World Operational Perspective&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky’s role within the advisory council is shaped by its experience operating managed detection and response programs in environments where continuous monitoring, detection, and response are not optional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maureen Kaplan, Chief Transformation Officer at SilverSky,&lt;/strong&gt; shared the following perspective on the engagement:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Participating in the Cynet Partner Advisory Council reflects the strength of a partnership built on real operational outcomes. What stood out in these discussions was Cynet’s ability to translate partner feedback into meaningful platform improvements with speed and consistency. That responsiveness, combined with the depth of their threat research and visibility across thousands of environments, allows us to operate more effectively and continuously strengthen the security programs we deliver to our customers."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;This type of collaboration ensures that platform evolution is informed by how security is actually delivered, not just how it is designed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Aligning Innovation with Operational Reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Advisory councils often focus on product direction. This council is structured to go further by incorporating direct input from organizations responsible for operating security programs at scale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky’s participation brings a perspective rooted in:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Continuous monitoring and response requirements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Regulatory and compliance-driven environments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Multi-technology security ecosystems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The need for consistent, repeatable operational outcomes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;This alignment helps ensure that platform enhancements support real-world execution, where detection speed, response consistency, and operational clarity directly impact customer risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Reinforcing Partner Alignment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Cynet’s Partner Advisory Council is designed to ensure that platform innovation remains aligned with the needs of partners delivering cybersecurity services in real-world environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jason Magee, CEO of Cynet,&lt;/strong&gt; commented:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Our Partner Advisory Council gives us a direct line to the partners delivering cybersecurity services every day. Collaborating with experienced partners like SilverSky helps ensure our innovation, programs, and strategy stay aligned with the real needs of the channel.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Strengthening an Operational Security Model&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky delivers cybersecurity through a combination of advisory services, managed security operations, and Managed Extended Detection and Response (MxDR)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Technologies such as Cynet are integrated into this broader operational model to support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Earlier threat detection through expanded visibility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Faster, more consistent response actions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Reduced operational burden on internal teams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;This approach reflects a core principle: security outcomes are driven by how technology is operated, not just deployed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Continuing a Partnership Built on Execution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Participation in the Cynet Partner Advisory Council reinforces SilverSky’s commitment to long-term partnership, operational maturity, and measurable security outcomes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;By contributing directly to platform direction while continuing to operate security programs for customers, SilverSky helps ensure that innovation remains aligned with execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky today announced the appointment of &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/caryconrad/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Cary Conrad&lt;/a&gt; as Chief Executive Officer. Conrad has a long track record of executive leadership in cybersecurity and most recently served as President of SilverSky. In his new role, he will lead the company’s next phase of operational growth and strategic execution, with continued focus on software innovation and data science to strengthen SilverSky’s ability to serve customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Conrad has deep roots within the organization. He was one of the original founders of a company that later became SilverSky and has played a central role in the company’s recent technical evolution. As President, he helped lead the development of SilverSky’s &lt;strong&gt;Lightning MXDR platform&lt;/strong&gt; and strengthened the company’s position within compliance-driven markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky traces its origins to the late 1990s and has spent nearly three decades supporting regulated and high-consequence organizations across the United States. Over that time, the company has built a reputation for operational resilience, regulatory alignment, and disciplined security execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“SilverSky has always been built on operational discipline and long-term trust,” said Cary Conrad, CEO of SilverSky. “Many of our customers operate under formal regulatory and audit pressures. They require clarity, accountability, and measurable risk reduction. Our focus remains steady: operate effectively, strengthen security posture over time, and execute with consistency. We will continue using advanced analytics and AI-driven systems to improve detection, response, and service for our customers.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;As part of this leadership transition, &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richarddobrow/" style="color: #000000;"&gt;Richard Dobrow&lt;/a&gt; will move from Chief Executive Officer to &lt;strong&gt;Chairman of the Board&lt;/strong&gt;. In this role, he will focus on governance, long-term strategic oversight, and investor alignment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“This transition ensures continuity while sharpening executive focus,” Dobrow said. “Cary has demonstrated the leadership and operational rigor required to guide SilverSky forward. My transition to Board Chair allows me to concentrate fully on governance and long-term investment strategy as the company enters its next stage of growth.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;SilverSky remains focused on sustained operational maturity, disciplined expansion, and long-term value creation for customers, partners, and investors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About SilverSky&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
