The Challenge for Mid-Market Resellers
Ten acquisitions in three years, and then the company itself changed hands. Cyber Advisors, founded in Maple Grove, Minnesota in 1997, started with KLH in 2022 and closed on Infranet Technologies Group in October 2025 as the tenth, adding four locations across North Carolina and Virginia in one move. Wasatch I.T. in Salt Lake City and Stratum Security in Reston, Virginia had arrived earlier the same year. In March 2026 Sterling Investment Partners bought the business from Goldner Hawn, which had recapitalized it in July 2022
Three of those purchases were offensive security firms and several more were managed IT businesses, which is how a Maple Grove company ended up with offices in Fargo and Schaumburg. Cyber Advisors holds SOC 2 Type 2 and a CREST accreditation. CREST is scoped to how testing is actually performed rather than to how the policy reads, so each absorbed team has to reach the same method before its work counts under the badge. A new owner will want the integration finished and the growth rate held at the same time. Both of those jobs want the same senior engineers, and there are roughly 180 people to go round
CWS adds delivery capacity under the Cyber Advisors name, held to one standard across the United States and Canada, with French language delivery where Quebec or Canadian federal work calls for it. Corova handles scoping, quoting and project tracking, so an office acquired last quarter prices an engagement the same way Maple Grove does. Nothing in that chain requires a new hire or an eleventh integration

Why This Matters for Cyber Advisors
Acquisition programs stall on delivery, not on sourcing. A bench that already works to one standard is the cheapest insurance against the tenth integration slowing down whatever comes next
