Tusker Expands Cybersecurity Reach with Fortress SRM Acquisition
Chicago-based Tusker has acquired Cleveland’s Fortress SRM, integrating nearly 50 cybersecurity professionals and a 24/7 Security Operations Center into its national network. The deal marks the firm's fifth acquisition since 2017, establishing a critical new hub in the Ohio Valley and deepening its managed security service offerings.
Matt Zafirovski, CEO of Tusker, noted that the move is designed to bolster the firm's ability to act as a comprehensive technology partner by planting a flag in the Ohio Valley. Fortress SRM President Jess Walpole emphasized that the transition allows their existing client base to access expanded IT support, ranging from hardware and network management to modernization projects, while maintaining the personalized service model established since the firm's founding in 2018.
