Additions to leadership team, vertical industry growth and technology validations reinforce market authority
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Additions to leadership team, vertical industry growth and technology validations reinforce market authority
Cayosoft Inc., the undisputed leader in Microsoft hybrid Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID management and security, today announced it has achieved significant milestones, marked by technology advancements and recognition, key customer wins in strategic vertical markets and additions to leadership team to fuel global business expansion.
Used by 90% of large organizations worldwide, Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID are the gateways to core IT systems and resources, serving as the central hub for managing permissions, logins, and access. Cayosoft offers the industry's only unified solution for identity security and operational resilience that supports all on-premises and cloud Microsoft environments, including Active Directory, Entra ID, hybrid infrastructure, Office 365, and Intune.
"Active Directory wasn't built for today's threats, yet it is still the authoritative identity store for 90% of enterprises, making it a prime target for attackers," said Robert Bobel, founder and CEO at Cayosoft. "We long ago saw the need for organizations to go beyond native tools and invest in robust software to effectively secure AD in today's digital and AI era. Our investments in leadership, partnerships and technology are anchored by a customer commitment to ensuring enterprises have the strongest AD security footprint - which means going beyond basic compliance and having the power to proactively monitor, identify suspicious activity, respond to threats, and instantly recover their identity infrastructure."
Leadership Team Expansion
Cayosoft expanded its global leadership team to support global business expansion and go-to-market initiatives. Joe Dillon joins as the new Chief Revenue Officer and will lead a collaborative global sales team focused on accelerating business growth and increasing customer growth and expansion. Dillon brings over 20 years of experience in senior technology sales roles, including Vice President, Security Solutions Sales at Code42 (acquired by Mimecast), and Strategic Sales at Springpath (acquired by Cisco), along with various sales leadership positions at EVault (acquired by Seagate Technology) and Finjan (acquired by Trustwave).
Cayosoft's new Vice President of Marketing, Jennifer LuPiba, will manage and execute winning go-to-market strategies that result in organizational long-term market sustainability. LuPiba joins Cayosoft from Quest Software, bringing over 15 years of experience in driving go-to-market strategy, revenue growth, and market leadership in cybersecurity, identity security, and SaaS B2B software.
Growth expansion driven by partner ecosystem
Cayosoft continues to build a partner ecosystem that plays a vital role in helping enterprises address their toughest AD identity management challenges, remaining committed to quality partnerships that focus on collaborations that deliver a collective impact. The company recorded particularly strong partnership performance results in the government sector, most recently working alongside Carahsoft - a trusted IT solutions provider. This new strategic partnership has resulted in three government contract wins at the state and local level, including OMNIA Partners Public Sector, NASPO ValuePoint and RCA Orange County.
Vertical Market Traction
Healthcare and government entities are two key industries heavily reliant on legacy systems and outdated Active Directory infrastructures that need modernization. These antiquated technologies not only hinder operational efficiency, but pose significant security risk in an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated.
- The Internal Revenue Service selected Cayosoft to overhaul and secure its Microsoft identity environment, emerging as the only vendor able to meet its complex hybrid requirements across AD, Entra ID and Microsoft 365.
- Broward Health, Florida's largest public health system, selected Caysoft to transform its hybrid identity management processes across its organization.
- Citrus Health Network selected Cayosoft to streamline IT processes across its hybrid AD environment and ensure strict HIPAA compliance requirements are met.
