McKinney’s Cytracom Acquires San Francisco Cybersecurity Co. Telivy

Cytracom said that acquiring Telivy "accelerates its expansion" into Security and Risk Management (SRM), complementing its established Secure Access Service Edge and Unified Communications as a Service solutions.

McKinney-based Cytracom, a provider of infrastructure software for managed service providers (MSPs), has acquired Telivy, marking what it called another milestone in the company’s evolution to deliver a comprehensive technology platform for MSPs.

Cytracom said the strategic investment accelerates its expansion into Security and Risk Management (SRM), complementing its established Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solutions.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition reflects Cytracom’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of MSPs via an “integrated platform” approach, the company said.

“This acquisition represents the next phase in our mission to empower MSPs with comprehensive critical infrastructure solutions,” CEO Zane Conkle said in a statement. “As we continue to evolve our platform, we’re focused on delivering innovations that help our partners effectively communicate cybersecurity value to their clients and ultimately grow their businesses.”

Conkle said adding security and risk management capabilities addresses a critical need in the market and looks forward to the advances the deal will bring to its partners.

By incorporating Santa Cruz, California-based Telivy’s technology, Cytracom said it will enhance its platform with advanced capabilities in Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), enabling MSPs to better serve their clients’ security and compliance needs.

Highlights of the deal

Per Cytracom, the platform expansion will allow MSPs to:

  • Deliver comprehensive security risk assessments and ongoing monitoring through an integrated, MSP-centric approach
  • Streamline security and compliance processes through alignment with industry frameworks such as NIST CSF and ISO 27001
  • Demonstrate security program value through automated, stakeholder-focused reporting
  • Scale their security practice through consolidated tools and unified management workflows
 

“I founded Telivy with a vision to drive innovation in cybersecurity risk management, making it more accessible and actionable for service providers,” Naren Sathiya, founder of Telivy, said in a statement.

Sathiya said joining forces with Cytracom is an “incredible opportunity” to accelerate that vision. According to Sathiya, Telivy’s track record of innovation and deep understanding of MSP needs makes it the “perfect partner” to take the technology to the next level.

Sathiya, who will join the Cytracom team to lead the new product category, will “continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for MSPs looking to manage their clients’ cyber risk.”

The deal will allow the partners to deliver comprehensive security solutions while maintaining the efficiency and scalability that are hallmarks of Cytracom’s approach to serving the MSP community, the company said.

Cytracom relocated its headquarters from Allen to the District 121 development in McKinney last fall. Cytracom is a Sverica Capital Management portfolio company that provides critical infrastructure technologies for businesses, delivering cloud-based unified communications and secure networking solutions tailored for managed service providers (MSPs) and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
