Experienced Channel Hires Underscore SilverSky’s Commitment to Supercharging Go-to-Market Efforts
Morrisville, NC – 1/27/2026 – On the heels of Bruce Wirt assuming the role of Chief Revenue Officer, SilverSky today announced the appointment of Ira Feuerstein as Strategic Partner Manager and Vlad Krause as Marketing Coordinator. These hires mark the next phase of SilverSky’s growth strategy as the company realigns its go-to-market organization to support scalable growth, channel expansion, and increased market visibility.
As organizations face increasing regulatory pressure, tighter security budgets, and a wider range of threats, SilverSky has focused its go-to-market strategy to be driven through strategic partnerships that both align with Silversky’s business strategy as well as hold trusted advisor status with key stakeholders across multiple positional levels in target customers across the SME and mid-market landscape. Strengthening execution with stronger channel partnerships and a clear differentiating value proposition has become a critical priority in this next phase of growth.
Ira Feuerstein
Ira Feuerstein joins SilverSky with more than 20 years of experience in technology sales, channel development, and cybersecurity. He was the founder of ThreatProtector, a cybersecurity company that achieved rapid growth and was ultimately acquired by a larger organization. Throughout his career, Feuerstein has worked closely with MSPs, agents, and strategic partners, helping them uncover revenue opportunities, position cybersecurity effectively, and compete in demanding markets. In his role, Feuerstein will focus on helping partners not only sell cybersecurity more effectively, but also align services, pricing, and delivery models with long-term customer outcomes.
“I’m excited to join SilverSky and work with partners who want to grow their cybersecurity business the right way,” said Feuerstein. “Having built and exited a cybersecurity company myself, I understand what partners need to succeed, and SilverSky is uniquely positioned to help them deliver meaningful security outcomes for their customers.”
Vlad Krause
Vlad Krause brings a strong background in digital marketing, having previously worked at a channel-focused marketing agency specializing in cybersecurity, SaaS (News - Alert ) (News - Alert ), telecom, and IT solutions. At SilverSky, he will lead several marketing initiatives designed to increase brand clarity, strengthen digital engagement, and support demand generation for the company’s advanced cybersecurity services, including its flagship MXDR offering. His work will focus on translating SilverSky’s technical depth and operational maturity into clear, market-facing narratives that resonate with executives, partners, and security leaders alike.
“Cyber risk is a board-level concern, and organizations need partners who can translate complex security investments into measurable risk reduction,” Krause noted. “SilverSky is already doing that through its advisory-led services and managed security operations, which makes this an important moment to help the market better understand its value.”
Together, these appointments reflect SilverSky’s continued evolution—aligning leadership, partnerships, and market engagement to support sustainable growth in a rapidly changing cybersecurity environment. As the company scales its MXDR and managed security offerings, its focus remains unchanged: delivering transparency, trust, and measurable risk reduction for customers and partners.
“Ira and Vlad bring exceptional expertise that will help us scale in two critical areas—channel development and marketing,” said Bruce Wirt. “Ira’s experience in building successful partner ecosystems will strengthen how we deliver value through the channel, while Vlad’s marketing leadership will amplify our story and drive demand for our cybersecurity services. We will continue to add accomplished high performers to this organization; I’m extremely excited about the weeks and months to come.”
