“Being a truly partner-first company requires deep, ongoing collaboration with the partners who represent the front lines of cybersecurity,” said Jeannine Edwards, Senior Director of Partner Engagement at Cynet. “The Partner Advisory Council creates a trusted forum where our partners can share honest feedback, discuss market dynamics, and help shape how Cynet innovates, engages the channel, and delivers value. This is not a check-the-box initiative. It’s a critical part of how we ensure we’re building the right solutions and the right partner experience.”
