CYRISMA
CYRISMA is a Rochester, New York-based cybersecurity company that builds a unified, cloud-hosted cyber risk management platform for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), MSSPs, and internal IT teams. It consolidates vulnerability and patch management, sensitive data discovery, secure configuration scanning, attack surface visibility, dark web monitoring, compliance tracking, and risk monetization into a single multi-tenant dashboard - replacing a stack of point tools with one affordable, per-endpoint-priced product. Founded in 2018, the company raised a $7M Series A in 2024 and serves thousands of organizations through partners.
Resilience
Resilience is a New York-based cyber insurance and risk-management company that pairs A-plus rated coverage with software that translates cyber risk into financial terms. Founded in 2016 by veterans of the U.S. military and intelligence communities (originally as Arceo.ai), it operates as a managing general agent for middle-market and large enterprises, combining risk quantification, a Risk Operations Center, and in-house claims and incident response to help organizations see, price, and reduce their most financially damaging cyber exposures.
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.
Teamforce AI
Teamforce AI is a San Francisco-based B2B software company that helps manufacturers, warehouses, and logistics operations surface the hazards and near misses their formal reporting systems never catch. Built on the premise that frontline workers know the real risks but rarely speak up, its anonymous capture-and-verify platform surfaces hidden hazards, confirms that fixes actually changed behavior on the floor, and quantifies the dollars avoided - positioning itself as a 'system of proof' for operational risk rather than another suggestion box.
Kevin Thomsen
Kevin Thomsen is a revenue and partnerships executive who turned a career building channel ecosystems at Zoom and Vonage into a cybersecurity mission. As Chief Revenue Officer (and acting CEO-level lead on growth) at Maxxsure, a Dallas-area cyber risk quantification firm, he champions the M-Score - a way to translate cyber risk into a single financial number that boards, CFOs, and insurers can argue about in plain English.
