Inaugural group of global MSP, MSSP, and VAR partners will help guide Cynet’s platform innovation, partner programs, and go-to-market strategy.
BOSTON, March 17, 2026 – Cynet, the unified, AI-powered cybersecurity platform empowering organizations to focus on what matters most, announced its 2026 Partner Advisory Council (PAC), a select group of trusted partners who work closely with Cynet leaders to help guide platform innovation, partner programs, and go-to-market strategy.
The inaugural council brings together 13 global partners representing managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs), and value-added resellers (VARs). PAC members will provide feedback on their experience working with Cynet and share real-world insight into how they deliver cybersecurity services, support customers, and navigate an evolving threat landscape.
“Being a truly partner-first company requires deep, ongoing collaboration with the partners who represent the front lines of cybersecurity,” said Jeannine Edwards, Senior Director of Partner Engagement at Cynet. “The Partner Advisory Council creates a trusted forum where our partners can share honest feedback, discuss market dynamics, and help shape how Cynet innovates, engages the channel, and delivers value. This is not a check-the-box initiative. It’s a critical part of how we ensure we’re building the right solutions and the right partner experience.”
The initiative reinforces Cynet’s record channel growth and partner-first strategy, ensuring the company remains closely aligned with the needs of the cybersecurity channel. The group includes a mix of large and emerging partners across North America and Europe to reflect the diversity of the global partner ecosystem.
