CyberSentriq has appointed Myles Bray as Chief Executive Officer as the cybersecurity company expands its focus on managed service providers and small and medium-sized businesses.
Bray joins from Feedzai, where he was Chief Revenue Officer. Before that, he held senior cybersecurity roles over more than a decade at Forcepoint, Forescout and F5.
CyberSentriq has also appointed James Brown as Chief Strategy Officer and added Bonnie Mitchell to its finance leadership team. Brown previously worked at Microsoft, AWS, Alert Logic, Palo Alto Networks and Akamai. Mitchell most recently served as Chief Financial Officer at Proactis.
The appointments follow the creation of CyberSentriq after Bregal Milestone acquired TitanHQ and merged it with Redstor. Outgoing Chief Executive Officer James Griffin led that integration.
CyberSentriq is increasing investment in artificial intelligence for threat detection, cyber resilience and recovery tools aimed at MSPs and SMBs. It said many providers still rely on separate products that can add operational complexity for service providers and leave smaller customers more exposed.
The company said it works with more than 60 global distributors, around 4,000 MSP and VAR partners, and 125,000 SMBs. Elsewhere in its background information, it said it supports more than 3,000 MSPs and protects more than 150,000 SMBs worldwide.
Leadership changes
Griffin welcomed the new chief executive as CyberSentriq reshapes its senior team.
“I’m delighted to welcome Myles to CyberSentriq, who will lead this fantastic company through its next phase of growth as it becomes the pre-eminent European headquartered SMB cybersecurity platform,” said James Griffin, outgoing Chief Executive Officer, CyberSentriq.
Bray takes over as managed service providers face growing pressure from more sophisticated AI-driven attacks, tighter compliance demands and rising customer expectations around security and resilience.
CyberSentriq’s strategy is to bring together security, backup, recovery and resilience in one platform for service providers serving smaller organisations. It is also investing in automated response and recovery tools intended to help partners identify and contain threats more quickly.
Bray outlined that approach in his first comments after taking the role.
“MSPs are being asked to defend customers against increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats while managing growing operational complexity. CyberSentriq brings security, backup, recovery, and resilience together in a single platform purpose-built to help partners protect customers more effectively and scale with confidence,” said Myles Bray, Chief Executive Officer, CyberSentriq.
He also set out the company’s view of the market it is targeting.
“At CyberSentriq, we are building an AI-native cybersecurity and resilience platform designed specifically for the operational realities of MSPs and SMBs,” said Bray.
Market focus
CyberSentriq positions itself around the needs of managed service providers that support smaller businesses, a market where cyber defence, backup, email security and recovery have often been bought separately. Its offer combines email and web security, backup and recovery, security awareness training, data protection and email archiving.
That focus reflects broader pressure on MSPs, which are increasingly expected to offer stronger security services while keeping operations simple and costs under control. Vendors serving that segment have sought to package more functions into single platforms as customers look for fewer products to manage.
Brown’s appointment suggests the company is looking to draw on experience from larger cloud and security vendors as it develops its strategy. Mitchell’s arrival adds finance experience from private equity-backed software, fintech and payments companies during a period of expansion.
The leadership changes mark the latest stage in the integration of TitanHQ and Redstor under the CyberSentriq brand, as the company seeks to build a broader cybersecurity and data protection business for service providers serving smaller organisations.
