“This milestone reflects our continued commitment to growth, innovation, and delivering greater value to our clients,” said Keith Hollender, CEO of MorganFranklin Cyber. “Lynx brings an exceptional team, a dynamic client network, and a strong reputation that will be thoughtfully integrated into our operations to enhance our collective impact. For years, we’ve said we’d be better together, and now we’ve made it happen. We truly are better together.”

Founded in 2009, Lynx Technology Partners has built a reputation for excellence in cybersecurity, compliance, and strategic advisory services. The firm’s disciplined approach to execution and client engagement has positioned it as a trusted partner across industries.

“Lynx has a great reputation in the marketplace, and we have a shared strategic view of how we approach this business,” said Pete Schile, President of MorganFranklin Cyber. “We both place a heavy emphasis on valuing and growing relationships, so bringing together Aric Perminter and his team with MorganFranklin Cyber is going to be a great recipe for future success.”

As part of the acquisition, Aric K. Perminter, Founder and Chairman of Lynx Technology Partners, will join MorganFranklin Cyber as Managing Director, Client Relations, reporting to the CRO, Ferdinand Hamada.

He currently serves on the Board of the Better Business Bureau Institute for Marketplace Trust and has previously contributed to industry organizations including CISOs Connect, the National Technology Security Coalition, the Cybercrime Support Network and Cyversity, which he co-founded alongside leading cybersecurity executives.

Perminter’s early career included service in the United States Army and leadership roles at Greenwich Technology Partners.
