Cynet, provider of the world’s first All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform, today announced the appointment of Jason Magee as Chief Executive Officer. Magee, f ormerly CEO of ConnectWise, succeeds Cynet Founder and former CEO Eyal Gruner, who will join Cynet’s Board of Directors and serve as a strategic advisor for Cynet’s executive team moving forward.
Under Gruner’s leadership, Cynet has grown from a visionary startup to a globally recognized cybersecurity leader with a rapidly expanding base of partners and customers around the world. 2024 was Cynet’s strongest year yet as the company surpassed all growth goals, doubled net new ARR and achieved a record efficiency score. Building on these recent successes, the appointment of Magee signals a new phase of growth and innovation for Cynet.
“It has been an extraordinary privilege to lead Cynet, challenge the cybersecurity status quo and bring the All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform to life,” said Gruner, who led the extensive evaluation process to select a successor. “As Cynet scales globally from a position of strength, I am confident Jason is the ideal leader to chart our next chapter. Like all of us at Cynet, he believes cybersecurity should be intuitive, accessible and affordable. Jason will be a transformative leader for Cynet and for the partners and customers we protect around the world.”
With over two decades of leadership experience, Magee provides proven expertise to scale businesses, drive strategic initiatives and foster strong partner ecosystems. By optimizing people, platforms and processes, he has steered technology companies through stages of explosive growth. As CEO of ConnectWise, Magee guided the company to unprecedented success, spearheading strategic cybersecurity expansions to increase ARR by 300% and boost profitability by over 500%. With thousands of employees under his management, Jason drove the development of an ecosystem comprising tens of thousands of MSPs, solidifying ConnectWise’s position as a market leader in the channel.
“There is no greater honor than to lead a company whose purpose is protection,” said Magee, “and I am truly excited to join Cynet as CEO at a pivotal moment in the company’s success story. Eyal has built an incredible business based on innovation and trust, and we have a strong team in place to build on that legacy. As cyberattacks increase in volume and sophistication, managed cybersecurity services are in record demand by small-to-medium enterprises. The All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform is purpose-built to meet that demand, and Cynet is resonating in the market. As our team embarks on this journey together, I am motivated by the tremendous opportunity to accelerate growth for Cynet while delivering even greater value for our partners and customers worldwide.”
Gruner and Magee will collaborate closely to ensure a seamless leadership transition and complete continuity for current Cynet partners and customers. “Jason and I share a commitment to tackle the most pressing challenges facing cybersecurity leaders today,” said Gruner. “I look forward to supporting Cynet’s talented teammates and meeting with partners to understand their priorities,” agreed Magee.
“The ability to bring in a leader as accomplished and experienced as Jason is a sign of Cynet’s strength,” said Cynet Executive Chairman Douglas Brockett. “Based on the transformational journey he led for ConnectWise, I share Eyal’s confidence in Jason’s strategic capabilities, operational effectiveness, and decisiveness to capitalize on growth opportunities in the channel. By emphasizing performance, expanding partnerships, and fostering a culture of innovation, Jason’s leadership will deliver extraordinary value for Cynet stakeholders.”
Magee’s appointment marks a meaningful milestone after Cynet’s remarkable accomplishments in 2024. Cynet recently stood out as the only cybersecurity vendor to achieve 100% Protection and 100% Detection Visibility in the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation. The All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform also delivers a 426% ROI, according to a Forrester Total Economic Impact Study. Magee will build on these advantages to make a positive impact for Cynet employees, partners and customers by continuing to invest in innovation, deepening partnerships in the channel and simplifying cybersecurity for organizations worldwide.
