Cyber Advisors is a prominent provider of cybersecurity and technology solutions, offering industry-leading Managed Service Solutions complemented by a comprehensive Cyber Security portfolio with specialized operations in Chicago, Minneapolis/ St. Paul and Fargo.

By combining our expertise, we will not only enhance our offerings but also provide additional security benefits to their customers and expanded coverage to ours” said Shane Vinup, CEO at Cyber Advisors.
Melvin Thoede, Partner of eDot, remarked, “When I met with the head of cyber security for Cyber Advisors, I was just blown away. The products and services we can now offer our 150+ clients are tremendous.”
“We met Cristian Anastasiu of Excendio many years ago, when we were acquiring companies. Over the years, he gained our trust, and we were impressed by his industry knowledge. Melvin and I came to this process with very high expectations and the team at Excendio did not disappoint. Cyber Advisors is a perfect partner for us, and we are very excited about the opportunities ahead” added Steve Jaffe.
“The market for MSP businesses continues to be very active and given the size of the market and number of small MSPs we might be just seeing the tip of the iceberg. As customers’ expectations and demands grow, automation and economies of scale become a competitive factor that will inevitably lead to continued consolidation” commented Cristian Anastasiu, Excendio’s Managing Partner.
