Benjamin Denkers, Formerly of Cylance, to Lead
Execution of Firm’s Service Expansion
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in information
security, privacy, and compliance, today announced that it has
appointed Benjamin Denkers as its Senior Vice President of Security
and Privacy Services. In this position, Denkers will be responsible
for the delivery of consulting, managed, and professional services
as the company continues its transition into a pure play
cybersecurity services organization. Denkers is a cybersecurity and
consulting veteran with nearly 20 years of experience across
multiple industries.
Prior to joining CynergisTek, Denkers served as vice president
of North America consulting for Cylance, Inc., a next-generation
endpoint security and services company that leverages artificial
intelligence to prevent threats at the endpoint. Cylance was
recently purchased by BlackBerry for $1.4 billion.
In this role, Denkers led a team of consultants that sustained
less than a five percent attrition rate while under his leadership.
He was the driving force behind the organization’s broad services
lines, including those focused on incident response, ethical
hacking, internet of things (IoT), and virtual chief information
security officer support. Through his work, Denkers forged powerful
relationships with clients and improved results by delivering to
business outcomes. Successfully scaling services allowed for the
contribution of more than $35 million in annual revenue.
“I am very excited to be joining such a highly-regarded,
service-oriented security firm,” said Denkers. “Whether it is
helping prevent or responding to a security incident, executives
need a trusted partner by their side. One that understands their
industry, their environment, and the associated risk posture they
experience every day. CynergisTek is that trusted partner across
the healthcare industry and I look forward to being a part of the
next chapter in their growth.”
“Recently stepping into the role as the CEO at CynergisTek, one
of my goals in the first thirty days was to bring on a services
leader with a track record of service development, innovation, and
revenue growth,” said Caleb Barlow, CEO of CynergisTek. “Mr.
Denkers brings a reputation, network, and proven track record in
the security industry along with a rare combination of leadership
experience in both incident response and ethical hacking.“
Denkers joins CynergisTek to support the company’s robust
managed services offerings for its healthcare-focused clients and
to address the growing need for a trusted partner in cybersecurity
and privacy.
