Ideal Customer
- SilverSky's stated sweet spot is the SMB and mid-market segment, explicitly positioning itself as a managed detection and response provider to the SMB space and being recognized in the Intelisys channel as a top security supplier to that market.
- Their ideal customers are regulated and audit-driven organizations — particularly community banks, credit unions, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and educational institutions — that face compliance mandates but lack the internal resources to build and staff a full security operations center.
Key Differentiators
- SilverSky's primary differentiator is its 'Compliance ≠ Security' positioning — formally launched in April 2026 — which argues that compliance frameworks define minimum standards but do not deliver the continuous monitoring, detection, and response needed to reduce real cyber risk, and that SilverSky bridges that gap through operational security execution.
- With nearly three decades of experience, more than 300 cybersecurity experts, a global SOC customer satisfaction rating above 98%, and NIST CSF-aligned services spanning advisory, managed controls, and 24x7 MxDR, the company positions itself as a full-lifecycle security partner for regulated organizations that cannot afford to treat compliance and security as the same thing.
Industries Served
- SilverSky's primary industry focus is regulated and audit-driven organizations, with the deepest specialization in financial services including community banks, credit unions, and insurance providers — having served over 1,500 financial institutions and supporting frameworks such as FFIEC, NCUA, GLBA, and PCI-DSS.
- The company also has strong vertical presence in healthcare (HIPAA-aligned), education (K-12, colleges, and universities), and emerging traction in retail, energy, manufacturing, critical infrastructure, and government/SLED markets.
Service Coverage
- SilverSky operates primarily across the United States with a multi-office presence including its HQ in Fort Lauderdale, FL and principal operations in Morrisville, NC, along with offices in Milford, CT, Mount Laurel, NJ, and Fort Lauderdale, FL.
- The company delivers 24x7 follow-the-sun SOC coverage across three centers: a primary US SOC, an EMEA delivery center in Belfast, Northern Ireland (acquired through Cygilant), and a secondary facility in the Philippines for Asia-Pacific coverage.
Partnerships
- SilverSky maintains a robust technology partner ecosystem that includes Microsoft, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Cynet, KnowBe4, Ironscales, Torq, VMware, Check Point, and Checkpoint, with its partner page listing these as active technology relationships.
- SilverSky has been a Fortinet partner for nearly 20 years and operates as a full-stack Fortinet SOCaaS provider through its FortiSOC offering, integrating FortiGate NGFW, FortiSIEM, FortiEDR, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor.
Company Size & Ownership
- SilverSky was founded in 1997 (originally as Guarded Networks / Perimeter eSecurity) and formally rebranded as SilverSky in 2013 through the combination of Perimeter eSecurity and USA.NET.
- The company has approximately 399 employees as of late 2026, with revenue estimates ranging from $62.8M (ZoomInfo/Datanyze) to $250M–$500M (LeadIQ), with $50M in annual revenues cited at the time of the 2020 management buyout.
Compliance & Certifications
- SilverSky supports customer alignment to a broad range of compliance frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, FFIEC, NCUA, ISO 27001, GLBA, and NIST CSF, positioning all of its managed services and advisory offerings around helping regulated organizations operate the security programs behind these requirements.
- The company's own services have been referenced as SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, and its MDR services are built around NIST CSF alignment across all six functions.
