cb20 Earns Regional and National Recognition as Demand for Security Surges

Saratoga Springs, NY — cb20 has been ranked #1 on the Albany Business Review’s 2026 list of the Capital Region’s largest cybersecurity firms, underscoring the company’s rapid growth and demonstrated leadership in security-first IT and audio visual solutions. The recognition follows cb20’s recent inclusion in CRN’s Security 100 category of the 2026 MSP 500, which honors leading managed service providers across North America with deep cybersecurity offerings and expertise.

cb20 currently operates three offices and employs more than 140 people across New York and New England, with cybersecurity driving nearly half of the company’s $42 million in annual revenue. The company continues to aggressively hire technical talent as it scales operations throughout the Northeast to meet surging demand.

“Cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s foundational,” said Chris Pickett, President and CEO of cb20. “Organizations across the region are facing more sophisticated threats than ever before, and our job is to help them stay ahead of it. This recognition reflects the incredible work our engineers are doing every day to protect our clients.”

The CRN distinction positions the company among North America’s leading security-driven managed service providers as cybersecurity becomes foundational to enterprise growth.

Published annually by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, the MSP 500 recognizes the leading managed service providers in North America. The Security 100 category highlights MSPs with specialized expertise in managed and cloud-based security services. cb20 has earned MSP 500 recognition for three consecutive years, with 2026 marking its first placement in the Security 100 category — reflecting its continued evolution as a security-first managed service provider.

For cb20, security is not a feature — it is the framework that defines how the company builds and supports client environments.

“If security isn’t built in, it’s built wrong,” said Pickett. “In today’s environment, AI is reshaping risk in real time, and protection has to be engineered into the foundation from day one. That’s how organizations scale with confidence. It’s also how we’ve built our own business.”

Serving organizations from SMBs to global enterprise across healthcare, education, government, and private industry, cb20 engineers managed technology environments built to perform under pressure — securely, reliably, and at scale.

Unlike providers that bolt security onto existing infrastructure, cb20 architects environments where network, endpoint, identity, and collaboration systems are designed as a unified security framework.

Recent enterprise engagements — including the design and deployment of secure collaboration environments at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY — demonstrate cb20’s ability to support globally connected, high-security research facilities where uptime and protection are mission-critical.

With 47% year-over-year revenue growth and a team of 140, cb20 is accelerating its expansion across New York and New England to support growing demand for security-led managed IT and AV integration. Recently named the #1 Capital Region company to work for, the company is actively hiring across engineering and cybersecurity roles to support continued enterprise growth and client demand — positioning cb20 for its next phase of strategic scale.

Organizations reassessing their cybersecurity posture or managed IT strategy are encouraged to connect with a cb20 security architect to begin a strategic evaluation.

Headquartered in Saratoga Springs, New York, cb20 provides managed IT, cybersecurity, and audio visual services to organizations across New York and New England, helping businesses, schools, and institutions operate securely and confidently in an increasingly complex threat landscape – while redefining the standard for security-first managed IT across the Northeast.
