EchoStor Technologies Acquires CyberNorth, Accelerating Growth and Expanding Northeast Presence

Strategic acquisition strengthens data protection and cloud capabilities, while further expanding its geographic reach across Northern New England and Upstate New York

NORWOOD, Mass., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EchoStor Technologies, a leader in IT solutions and services, today announced the acquisition of CyberNorth, a premier enterprise and public sector IT solutions provider specializing in data protection, infrastructure, and cloud services. The strategic acquisition is expected to enhance EchoStor's capabilities, broaden its service offerings, and strengthen its market position in the Northeast.

"This acquisition marks a significant milestone in EchoStor's M&A growth strategy and reinforces our position as the premier solution provider in the Northeast," said Mike Johnson, CEO of EchoStor Technologies. "CyberNorth's exceptional team and their proven 'secure and simplify' approach will strengthen our ability to deliver end-to-end, customized solutions that better protect and serve our enterprise clients."

The acquisition comes as cybersecurity threats continue to escalate, with ransomware attacks and data breaches reaching unprecedented levels across all industry sectors. By combining CyberNorth's specialized data protection expertise with EchoStor's broad technology portfolio and recent investments in Security, AI and Data Services, the unified organization will offer customers comprehensive, next-generation solutions backed by world-class engineering talent.

"While our industry chases scale over talent, we've always fought above our weight class through technical expertise and speed," Jeremy Lombardo, President, CyberNorth, said. "This acquisition isn't about getting bigger -- it's about getting better. We're strengthening our capabilities and service because the best partners don't just sell products, they understand how technologies truly connect. EchoStor shares our underdog mentality and commitment to going above and beyond for customers every single day. That's what makes all the difference."

The combined organization will operate from EchoStor's state-of-the-art headquarters in Norwood, Massachusetts, while maintaining CyberNorth's regional locations to ensure continued local presence and support. Lombardo will assume the role of President, while all CyberNorth employees will join EchoStor, preserving the technical expertise and customer relationships that have been central to both companies' success.

Customers of both organizations will benefit from an expanded range of services within EchoStor's Unified Technology Portfolio, with focus pillars in Next-Gen Datacenter, Security, Networking, Modern Workplace, Digital Workflows, and AI & Data Services. The combined entity will also leverage enhanced vendor partnerships and synergies to deliver best-in-class solutions across the entire technology stack.
