CyberSheath’s leadership change aligns with heightened cybersecurity scrutiny in the defense sector, driven by a Pentagon memorandum mandating a review of cloud and IT systems and banning technologies vulnerable to foreign influence. “After 13 years building CyberSheath into what it is today, I’m confident this is the right time to pass the torch,” said Noonan. “Emil’s experience scaling cybersecurity service organizations and deep understanding of what it takes to serve enterprise clients make him the perfect leader for our next chapter of growth.”
Sayegh, with over 20 years of experience, previously led private equity-backed firms like Ntirety, Hostway Services, and Codero Hosting, where he drove growth and built robust cybersecurity platforms. “The foundation Eric and this team have built is remarkable,” said Sayegh. “With CMMC becoming mandatory and federal directives reinforcing its urgency, our mission has never been more vital.” His focus will be on accelerating CyberSheath’s momentum and positioning it as the leader in securing the defense supply chain.
CyberSheath has supported hundreds of DoD contractors with CMMC compliance, often completing assessments ahead of schedule. With third-party certification mandatory by 2026 and the final CMMC rule under review, CyberSheath is well-positioned to guide contractors through this transition. The company, backed by BV Investment Partners, continues to invest in its platform and partnerships to ensure long-term success.
