Mark Balovnev
Mark Balovnev is the CEO of CYRISMA, a Rochester, New York cybersecurity risk-management platform built for MSPs and MSSPs. A serial founder who wrote his first line of code at nine and dropped out of business school at eighteen, he scaled the digital-credentialing company EduChain to more than 1.5 million users and a private-equity exit, co-founded the non-human identity security firm Vantyr, and took the top job at CYRISMA in January 2025 just after the company closed a $7 million growth round. He describes his work as operating in the gap between technical complexity and business urgency.
