Recognition reflects long-standing channel leadership and SilverSky’s partner-first approach to cybersecurity.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida — April 9, 2026 — SilverSky, a trusted, multi-service cybersecurity partner with decades of experience securing regulated organizations, today announced that Chief Revenue Officer Bruce Wirt has been selected for induction into Channel Futures’ Circle of Excellence as an Industry Leader of the Year honoree. Wirt will be inducted on Tuesday, April 14, at the annual Circle of Excellence Awards Dinner during Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas.
The Circle of Excellence program recognizes ICT channel leaders who are helping their partners create business value for customers. The program honors executives for vision, innovation, and advocacy of the indirect channel, and recognizes leaders whose investments and contributions strengthen the broader channel ecosystem. This year’s honorees are being recognized across categories, including the newer Industry Leader of the Year distinction.
Wirt’s recognition reflects a leadership approach grounded in partner advocacy, practical execution, and long-term ecosystem value. At SilverSky, that same philosophy shapes a channel-first model designed to help partners expand cybersecurity offerings, support customers more effectively, and create durable business value without having to build and operate every security capability themselves. SilverSky’s multi-service model spans Professional Services, Managed Security Services, and MxDR, giving partners access to a broader, more holistic cybersecurity platform through a single operationally mature provider.
As CRO, Wirt has helped reinforce SilverSky’s commitment to being a true extension of its partners’ businesses, not a competitor. His leadership has helped strengthen a go-to-market approach centered on operational depth, flexibility, and partner enablement, making it easier for partners to lead with security and deliver meaningful outcomes for customers.
“I’m honored to be recognized by Channel Futures and included among this year’s Circle of Excellence honorees,” said Wirt. “I’ve been blessed to be part of this ecosystem for nearly 25 years now, and I’m humbled to be listed among the industry’s greats. The channel plays a critical role in helping customers navigate security complexity and make sound decisions for their organizations. At SilverSky, we remain committed to helping partners grow, deliver strong cybersecurity outcomes, and create lasting value for the customers they serve.”
With roots dating back to the late 1990s, SilverSky has built its business around supporting organizations that operate in regulated, high-trust environments. Over time, the company has evolved into a more comprehensive cybersecurity partner with deep experience across advisory services, managed security operations, and advanced detection and response. That breadth, combined with a channel-first mindset, continues to make SilverSky a trusted partner for organizations and partners that value operational maturity, flexibility, and long-term alignment.
Wirt’s induction into the Circle of Excellence underscores both his personal commitment to the channel and SilverSky’s broader role as a cybersecurity partner built to support partner growth over time.
