Periscope Equity recapitalizes CyberMaxx
In August 2021 Periscope Equity invested in CyberMaxx through a recapitalization in partnership with management. CyberMaxx, founded in 2009 and then headquartered in Nashville, provided healthcare organizations with a full suite of services to prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks, built on its own software.
Under Periscope, CyberMaxx has grown into a managed detection and response provider for mid-market organizations in regulated industries. It acquired CipherTechs in February 2023, when Brian Ahern became CEO, added CyberSafe and onShore Security in February 2025, and bought the Microsoft-focused security firm Avertium in September 2026.
