One of three recent critical hires in the GTM organization to strengthen the company’s commitment to the channel

Linthicum Heights, MD – September 16, 2025 – CyberMaxx, a leading provider of managed detection and response (MDR) services, today announced the appointment of Anthony Cali as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Anthony will take the helm of the sales organization, driving scale, strategic growth and support our GTM efforts via the channel.

Anthony brings over 18 years of technology sales and leadership experience to CyberMaxx. He’s spent his tech career building strong teams, running multi-million-dollar global business units and focusing on channel partnerships. Most recently, he led Cipher as CEO of North America, where his vision was to scale through the channel to accelerate growth. In just two years, Anthony achieved this by taking Cipher from an unknown entity in the MSSP/MDR market to increasing revenue by over 700%.

“This is an exciting time for us as a company. We have always believed in growing with the channel and delivering joint value to customers, and I’m thrilled to have Anthony join and continue that mission,” said Brian M. Ahern, CEO of CyberMaxx. “His experience, expertise and proven commitment to the channel will enhance our existing partnerships and jointly provide world-class MDR services.”

CyberMaxx is doubling down on its investment in the channel with a clear vision to create meaningful organizational change by surrounding the channel with best-in-class go-to-market support, strategy, and technology.

In addition to Anthony Cali, CyberMaxx has actively invested in senior channel and sales leadership—professionals who have built and scaled channel programs from the ground up, with strong relationships at the TSD and TA levels. Each role supports the channel-focused sales organization and the partner community:

  • Mark Jackson, Vice President of National Channel Sales, who will lead execution for our national partners, travel to various TSD events for the rest of FY25 to support and begin planning for a successful go-forward. Most recently, Mark held the role of VP Channel Sales at Thrive and brings more than 12 years of experience in channel sales and cybersecurity.
  • Sotiria Doumanis, Senior Director of Sales Operations, who will work closely with Channel Sales Advisors for operational excellence across partner operations and ensure scalable and smooth partner transactions and reporting. Sotiria brings over 14 years of sales strategy and operations expertise, driving revenue growth and operational excellence at leading technology companies including Salesforce, Veeam, and Darktrace.

“The channel is at the heart of our go-to-market strategy here at CyberMaxx and surrounding it with strong and capable leaders like Mark and Sotiria is exactly how we can be strong teammates to our partners.” said Anthony Cali, CRO of CyberMaxx. “We are positioned to elevate our GTM approach for the remainder of 2025 and moving forward.”

The ebook showcases real-world examples where instincts and human-led responses outpaced AI-driven detection.

Linthicum Heights, MD – June 3, 2025– CyberMaxx, a leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, has announced the release of a new eBook titled “Tales from the SOC: Security Success Stories Powered by Proactive Intelligence and Real-Time Response.”

This collection of true stories from CyberMaxx’s Security Operations Center (SOC) gives an in-depth insight into why human instincts and human-led response are still essential in a market driven by automation.

The Importance of Human-AI Balance

“Tales from the SOC” explores the power of CyberMaxx’s signature approach to cybersecurity, known as “Big R.” Unlike the industry-standard “little r” response model, which often ends at passive alerting, Big R focuses on the importance of ethical human judgment. This is essential when investigating, containing, and eradicating threats in real time before they can cause widespread damage.

Behind the Scenes of Frontline Security Stories

The eBook details several high-stakes incidents where CyberMaxx’s SOC team pushed beyond standardized procedures to protect clients from cyber threats. Each instance involved acting on early warning signs before they triggered formal alerts.

Highlights include:

  • One IP address, two organizations saved: How investigating an IP address that repeatedly appeared uncovered a hidden threat that almost went unnoticed.
  • A malicious inbox rule and 300+ shares: How rapid response and forensic investigation contained a fast-moving email threat before it could escalate further.
  • A thumb drive and a criminal investigation: A suspicious device turned into a high-stakes criminal investigation, showing the critical role of human ethics in cybersecurity.

Why Big R Matters

“Tales from the SOC” explains why protecting your organization requires more than throwing money at automated tools and refreshing your business dashboard.

Sometimes, it involves letting an activity play out a little longer to build a clearer picture and better understand the threat. Above all else, it demands human expertise and creativity.

Discover how CyberMaxx stops attacks before alerts are even triggered. Download the full eBook here: Tales from the SOC eBook | CyberMaxx

Expanded product suite reinforces the focus on Response while providing maximum flexibility for all customers

Chicago, IL – May 14, 2025 – CyberMaxx, the leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, today announced a strategic refresh of its flagship MDR service, MaxxMDR, to further reduce risk and improve security outcomes for organizations. As part of this enhancement, MaxxMDR is now available in three distinct service tiers—Core, Advanced, and Elite—offering customers greater flexibility and control in selecting the right level of protection for their unique needs.

This evolution of MaxxMDR reflects CyberMaxx’s commitment to a modern, integrated approach to cybersecurity. Each level of the service is powered by the CyberMaxx 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC), where threat monitoring, detection, and response are seamlessly combined into a unified service. Each of the three tiers of service gives customers the power of “Big R” Response, allowing them to defend their company with a modern approach regardless of where they are at in their cybersecurity journey.

CyberMaxx’ modern, tech-enabled, not one-size-fits-all model offers organizations the ability to choose the MDR offering which best fits their company goals depending on where they are in their cybersecurity journey.

  • MaxxMDR Core – Includes 24x7x365 monitoring and response for your most critical attack point – the endpoints. CyberMaxx monitors endpoints in real-time to identify threats and engage in our response process immediately. We isolate and contain attacks before data is exfiltrated, assets are further compromised, or irreversible damage is done.
  • MaxxMDR Advanced – Builds on MaxxMDR Core and secures the environment on both the endpoint and your cloud email (M365 / Google Workspace). As one of the most widely used cloud application suites today, Microsoft 365 requires continuous monitoring to mitigate concerns regarding data loss, privacy, leakage, and unauthorized access.
  • MaxxMDR Elite – The most complete MDR offering monitors the entirety of your critical infrastructure, including endpoints and cloud email. The CyberMaxx team works to identify each of the data sources which provides the most security-relevant telemetry using a managed SIEM and deception technology. This offering also includes Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a recurring proactive layer of security which identifies and addresses vulnerabilities preemptively.

“Our new service tiers for MaxxMDR allow all organizations to choose the right balance of features, cost, and protection level that best meets their risk posture – while maintaining a strong focus on response for their company MDR,” said Brian M. Ahern, CEO of CyberMaxx. “As our customers advance in their security maturity, upgrading between service tiers is simple, seamless and quickest time to value in the industry.”

These service enhancements reinforce CyberMaxx’s tech-enabled service model, which prioritizes platform compatibility and customer flexibility. CyberMaxx continues to support seamless integration with industry-leading SIEM and security platforms such as Crowdstrike, Microsoft, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Cisco/Splunk, Devo, Elastic, Exabeam, LevelBlue, Cloud Service Providers, and an extensive list of additional log sources. At CyberMaxx, we do not require customers to displace their security tech stack investments but instead operationalize those best-in-class technology platforms to deliver the intended security outcomes.

The upgraded MaxxMDR offering builds on the momentum of CyberMaxx’s recent acquisitions of Cybersafe Solutions and onShore Security, further scaling its enterprise-grade capabilities to serve the under-resourced mid-market sector.

CyberMaxx’s enhanced MDR solution empowers customers to maximize protection, minimize complexity, and make informed decisions through powerful threat visibility and the “Big R” response capabilities delivered by a world-class SOC.

Chicago, IL – January 23, 2025CyberMaxx, the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, released its Quarterly Ransomware Research Report today. The report reveals that 2024 has seen the highest number of ransomware attacks on record, with Q4 2024 marking the most attacks in any single quarter to date.

According to CyberMaxx research, Q4 2024 saw 2,358 ransomware attacks, making it the highest number recorded in a single quarter. This marks a 137% increase compared to the attacks observed in Q3 2024.

“There were almost double the number of successful attacks in the final 90 days of 2024 as there were in all of Q3 2024,” says Connor Jackson, Security Research Manager at CyberMaxx. “Q3 saw 1,218 attacks vs Q4s 2,358, at 193%.”

Threat actors followed mainstream cloud adoption in 2024, and it became a popular target. Identity attacks and exploiting misconfigurations were the main attack vectors utilized.

“We saw a 39% increase in attacks against cloud environments over 2023, making this a common initial access vector for threat actors,” says Jackson.

There has been a continued rise in new threat actors, with Q4 witnessing 66 active groups involved in successful ransomware and data extortion attacks. This compares to 39 active ransomware groups in Q4 2022 and 46 active groups in Q4 2023, showing a steady upward trend in the number of threat actors entering the space.

The average cost of a data breach for an organization continues to grow year over year. Between 2020 and 2024, the cost has risen from $3.86M to $4.88M. This shows that incidents are becoming more frequent and more expensive.

The cyber research team at CyberMaxx conducts routine threat research independent of client engagements in order to help foster collective intelligence among the cybersecurity community.

Ransomware operations are a thriving industry, and the total number of affiliates, threat actors, and groups is growing.

CHICAGO, IL – October 17th, 2024– CyberMaxx, the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, today released its Quarterly Ransomware Research Report, which revealed a 2% deviation in the volume of ransomware attacks and an 8.5% increase in active ransomware groups compared to Q2.

According to CyberMaxx research, there were 1,720 observed attacks in Q3. This data shows that attackers have not lost any momentum from Q2, one of the busiest quarters in the past 18 months, which observed 1,755 attacks.

In addition, the number of active ransomware groups is increasing. There were 64 active ransomware and extortion groups in Q3, an increase from 59 in Q2 2024 and 52 in Q3 2023.

While the average number of attacks per group was 27, a small number of groups have significantly skewed this figure.

With 247 attacks, Ransomhub was the top active group for this quarter. Its Ransom-as-a-Service (RaaS) affiliate model allows affiliates to control their own payments.

Lockbit remains in second place despite disruptions by law enforcement in its operations. Play, Qilin, and Meow were also among the top active groups for Q3 2024.

Despite being the most prolific group in the previous quarter, Disposessor has fallen from the list of top contenders.

The group carried out only 40 attacks in Q3, compared to 329 in Q2. Some have speculated that the group is taking credit for the work of others rather than carrying out attacks directly.

The cyber research team at CyberMaxx conducts routine threat research independent of client engagements in order to help foster collective intelligence among the cybersecurity community.

The strategic partnership bolsters the customer EDR experience by layering CyberMaxx’s tech-enabled services on top of SentinelOne tools

CHICAGO, IL – October 15, 2024CyberMaxx, the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, today announced it has aligned its Security Control Management (SCM) service with SentinelOne’s leading endpoint detection and response (EDR) offering. This partnership provides SentinelOne customers with an experienced services team that excels in configuring, managing, and monitoring the EDR platform while alleviating operational and staffing burdens.

Many mid-sized security teams are understaffed and overwhelmed, where securing the endpoint can get deprioritized but results in the creation of a vulnerability point. With SCM from CyberMaxx, that pressure is removed for customers, who can then spend their time focused on other key initiatives while having the confidence that SentinelOne is properly monitoring their endpoints.

“We are excited to partner with CyberMaxx,” said Joni Tsumas, SVP Americas at SentinelOne. “The CyberMaxx team has deep expertise supporting SentinelOne and has shown a commitment to our midsized enterprise customers. This partnership will take our mutual customers one step further in their cyber resilience journey. With CyberMaxx, companies have an extra layer of endpoint security for their critical infrastructure.”

By partnering with CyberMaxx, SentinelOne customers will have the confidence that their instance is configured properly and remains compliant with security policies and standards – all in an effort to reduce the attack surface and enhance security posture.

“CyberMaxx and SentinelOne is a natural combination for midsized customers,” said Bill Hogan, Chief Revenue Officer at CyberMaxx. “Beyond just enhancing security posture, customers will see cost efficiency, resource optimization, and risk management benefits by working with CyberMaxx. We can also act as a customer service go-between for SentinelOne, so customers can spend less time troubleshooting and more time on their bigger initiatives.”

In addition to SCM, CyberMaxx leverages SentinelOne as part of its industry-leading MDR service. With a dedicated focus on response, CyberMaxx acts within SentinelOne for a full scope of compromise evaluation to help customers better remediate threats. CyberMaxx is also an Incident Response partner with SentinelOne and can deploy the tool to support customers in their environment on their worst day. Customers who leverage both SentinelOne and CyberMaxx get full security coverage, from configuration to alert remediation.
