Cynet, provider of the All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Jason Magee, CEO, to its prestigious 2025 Top 100 Executives list, recognizing him specifically among the Top 25 IT Innovators of the Year. This annual ranking highlights passionate and outstanding leaders in the technology industry who are committed to driving IT channel growth through ongoing innovation and strategic, channel-focused initiatives.

CRN recognized Magee for his transformative leadership and vision in redefining Cynet's channel-first strategy since taking on the CEO role in February 2025. Under his direction, Cynet has undergone a strategic realignment to strengthen its position as a trusted cybersecurity partner for MSPs and SMBs across North America and globally. His efforts have driven the company's fastest growth segment in North America, reimagined the partner experience, and catalyzed innovation through initiatives like CyAI, Cynet’s proprietary AI engine that reduces false positives by 90%.

Magee’s leadership has enabled Cynet partners to differentiate their services with the industry’s only All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform to achieve 100% Protection and 100% Detection Visibility in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, with no configuration changes or false positives. Through unified go-to-market execution and a commitment to simplicity, Magee continues to build Cynet into the channel’s most intuitive, scalable, and partner-driven cybersecurity solution.

The CRN 2025 Top 100 Executives list honors the achievements of executives across four categories: the 25 Most Influential Executives, Top 25 Channel Sales Leaders, Top 25 Innovators and Top 25 Channel Disrupters. Magee was specifically named to the Top 25 IT Innovators of 2025, which recognizes executives who are redefining the IT landscape with bold new technologies, go-to-market strategies, and partner-centric execution. These visionary leaders leverage their distinct strengths to propel the channel forward and shape the industry's direction.
