CyberFOX, a global cybersecurity software provider specializing in privileged access management (PAM), password management, and DNS filtering for MSPs and IT professionals, today announced that Joe Panettieri has joined the company as Strategic Advisor. Panettieri will work closely with Chief Revenue Officer Adam Slutskin to strengthen CyberFOX’s partner ecosystem and drive accelerated growth for channel partners.
Panettieri is a widely respected voice in the IT channel community, having developed a monthly audience of over 80,000 IT service providers through his blog posts and MSP market analysis. As an angel investor, digital media entrepreneur, and emcee, he has shaped industry perspectives and launched some of the most influential media brands serving MSPs and channel partners.
In his advisory role, Panettieri will focus on understanding CyberFOX’s existing partner ecosystem and identifying opportunities to help MSPs leverage the company’s solutions—CyberFOX AutoElevate for privileged access management, CyberFOX Password Manager, and the recently launched CyberFOX DNS Filtering—to improve customer security posture, reduce risk, and drive business growth.
“I joined CyberFOX as strategic advisor for several reasons,” said Panettieri. “I deeply respect the founders. I’ve known David and Adam for more than a decade. We have similar views about the MSP software market, and the partner opportunities ahead. In my role as strategic advisor, I hope to help CyberFOX’s partners further accelerate their businesses, mitigate risk for customers, and successfully navigate the AI hype cycle.”
“Joe is one of the most respected voices in the MSP world,” said Adam Slutskin, Chief Revenue Officer at CyberFOX. “He’s not just someone who covered this market; he’s shaped how people think about it. Having him in our corner means our partners get the benefit of someone who truly understands what it takes to grow an MSP business, and who’s seen what works across hundreds of companies. We’re excited to put that knowledge to work for our partner community.”
Panettieri’s extensive background includes key editorial and content leadership roles at CMP Media, InformationWeek, Ziff Davis Media, and NYIT. He holds a BA in Communications from Marist University.
This appointment reinforces CyberFOX’s commitment to partner-centric growth as it expands its portfolio of cybersecurity solutions aligned with CIS critical controls. By combining Panettieri’s channel insight with CyberFOX’s innovative tools, the company aims to empower MSPs to deliver stronger security outcomes and sustainable business success.
