SolCyber
SolCyber is a Dallas-based managed security services provider that packages the tools, threat detection, and human-led response mid-market and enterprise companies need into a single subscription program. Founded in 2021 and incubated by ForgePoint Capital, it positions itself as a "modern MSSP" - consolidating endpoint, email, identity, SOC/SIEM, security awareness training, mobile protection, and even cyber insurance under one vendor and one contract, so customers don't have to assemble and manage a stack of point products themselves.
