Tusker Acquires Fortress SRM to Expand Cybersecurity Services

Published

18 minutes ago

September 2, 2026

Adds New Cybersecurity Expertise, 24/7 Security Operations Center and Ohio Valley Presence

CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tusker, a full-service technology solutions provider with clients across the country, today announced the acquisition of Fortress SRM, a Cleveland-based firm specializing in cybersecurity services. The acquisition adds nearly 50 cybersecurity professionals to the Tusker team, provides new security capabilities including 24/7 oversight, and expands Tusker’s geographic footprint with a sixth regional hub.

Founded in 2018, Fortress SRM serves customers across Ohio, northern Michigan and Wisconsin with a team of approximately 50 cybersecurity professionals. Its capabilities span security consulting and advisory services, virtual CISO leadership, managed security, incident response and digital forensics, and a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) that delivers around-the-clock threat detection, analysis and remediation support.

The acquisition is the latest step in a strategic expansion campaign that has grown Tusker from its roots as a Chicago-based IT hardware distributor to a full-stack technology provider with more than 400 employees and regional hubs in Chicago, Boston, Green Bay, Duluth, Eau Claire and now Cleveland.

It marks Tusker’s fifth acquisition since 2017 and its first since unifying its portfolio companies under the Tusker brand earlier this year. Additional acquisitions are planned as the company continues building its geographic reach.

Expanding the Tusker Platform

The acquisition brings together two organizations with complementary strengths: Fortress SRM’s deep cybersecurity expertise, Tusker’s broader technology capabilities and geographic reach, and the high-touch service and trusted relationships that have been central to both organizations. It also advances a Tusker initiative to aggressively expand its services business.

“Fortress SRM brings exactly the kind of expertise and customer-centered culture that has defined every company we have acquired over the last nine years,” said Matt Zafirovski, CEO of Tusker. “This acquisition expands our cybersecurity team and related service capabilities, plants a flag for Tusker in the Ohio Valley, and strengthens our ability to be a trusted technology partner across the customer’s entire IT environment.”

The transaction also provides significant benefits to Fortress SRM’s cybersecurity customers.

“Many of our cybersecurity clients want a trusted partner who can support all of their IT needs, from desktops, servers and networks to technology planning, modernization and managed services,” said Jess Walpole, President of Fortress SRM. “Joining forces with Tusker gives them that convenience, along with a larger team and the same personal service they have come to expect from us.”

About Tusker

Tusker is a mid-market IT solutions provider that blends a broad portfolio of advisory, professional, managed and lifecycle technology solutions with a focus on building long-term client partnerships through a combination of IT expertise and highly personalized service. The firm operates from multiple regional hubs, serving clients ranging from local organizations to national brands. For more information, visit www.tuskerco.com.

Peerspace Launches All Inclusive Venues: A New Way to Book Venue, Food, and Service in a Single Reservation

Published

18 minutes ago

September 2, 2026

The new category launches today in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London, with
Chicago and Atlanta joining by the end of the year

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Peerspace, the leading marketplace for hourly venue rentals for events, productions, and meetings, today announces the launch of All Inclusive Venues, a new booking category that lets guests reserve the space, food, and drinks together in a single reservation. Peerspace, which recently crossed $800M in total booking value since its founding in 2014, is expanding the category across its marketplace.

Peerspace launches All Inclusive Venues – book space, food, and drinks in one reservation.

This new category is currently live in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London, with Chicago and Atlanta joining by the end of the year. Looking ahead, Peerspace plans to bring All Inclusive Venues to additional markets, starting with Washington D.C., Miami, Toronto, Dallas, San Diego, and Seattle, followed by Austin, Denver, and Houston. Peerspace expects to add over one thousand All Inclusive Venues to its marketplace in the coming months.

All Inclusive Venues are designed to remove the back-and-forth that typically comes with booking a full-service space. Guests see one all-in price upfront without needing to submit a ‘contact us’ form or wait for a call back. A few standout Peerspace All Inclusive Venues include:

Wandering Barman (Brooklyn, NY)Telephone (Brooklyn, NY)The Academy SF (San Francisco, CA)Rick & Roxy’s (San Francisco, CA)

“We wanted to take the guesswork out of party planning. No more juggling five vendors and not knowing what the night will ultimately cost,” says Rony Chammas, Founder and Chief Growth Officer, Peerspace. “All Inclusive Venues allow guests to lock in their venue, food, drinks, and staff all in a single booking with clear upfront pricing.”

For hosts, All Inclusive Venues creates a new source of customer awareness and demand without any ongoing fees. Hosts can list their business on Peerspace for free, opening up their venues to clientele beyond traditional events, including corporate meetings and productions, while gaining access to Peerspace’s advanced tooling, including custom proposals, calendar sync, and a performance metrics dashboard.

New All Inclusive Venue hosts point to Peerspace’s impact on their business:

“Peerspace has been a great partner to help market our venue to new customers. We opened last year and started receiving private event and production inquiries within the first few weeks.” — Bryan S., Quick Eternity, New York, NY

“Peerspace is by far the best third-party platform we’ve partnered with when it comes to generating leads. It’s helped us significantly increase bookings for our upstairs private room.”

— Shannon H., Country Club, Chicago, IL

ChainIT Launches “Provable Authority” as U.S. Generative AI-Enabled Fraud Losses Are Projected to Reach $40 Billion by 2027

New white paper introduces pre-execution authority controls for employees, owners, organizations, workflows and AI agents—before money moves

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ChainIT, a digital verification and compliance platform that helps organizations validate identities, businesses, authority and compliance status through trusted data sources and auditable workflows, today announced the release of “Provable Authority,” a technical white paper introducing a pre-execution framework for determining whether a person, business, workflow or autonomous AI agent is authorized to perform one exact action before money, data, assets or contractual rights move.

Deloitte’s Center for Financial Services projects that generative-AI-enabled fraud losses in the United States could reach $40 billion by 2027, up from $12.3 billion in 2023.[1] The Global Anti-Scam Alliance estimates that $442 billion was lost to scams across 42 surveyed markets during the preceding year.[2]

Financial institutions and businesses have invested heavily in authentication, transaction monitoring and fraud detection. Yet a valid login, signature or cryptographic key does not necessarily prove who granted the underlying authority, whether it remains current, what limits apply or whether the final instruction matches what was approved. The problem already affects employee wires, owner approvals, vendor payments and treasury operations. Autonomous AI magnifies the exposure by operating continuously, across systems and at machine speed.

Provable Authority addresses both the longstanding business-authority problem and the emerging agentic authority problem. The white paper introduces the ChainIT Authority Protocol and its Agent Subject Profile, connecting verified identity, organizational authority, delegated scope, sourced evidence, deterministic controls, transaction capacity and exact instruction approval. It is designed to answer a critical question before execution: Is this employee, owner, representative, workflow or AI agent currently authorized to perform this exact transaction?

“Like almost everyone, I am flooded with scam texts, emails, calls and voicemails designed to make me trust someone who may not be who they claim to be. AI can now clone voices, recreate faces and make fraudulent instructions more convincing and more difficult to detect. That is why identity alone is no longer enough,” said Jeremy Blackburn, Chief Executive Officer of ChainIT. “Before money moves, organizations need to verify that the employee, owner, representative, workflow or AI agent is actually authorized to take that specific action, within defined limits, at that moment. Provable Authority is designed to help prevent the fraud people and businesses are experiencing today while establishing the controls needed for the agentic economy already emerging. I am incredibly proud of the ChainIT team for developing a practical, forward-looking solution to one of the most urgent trust and security challenges in modern commerce.”

Core Technical Pillars

Verified authority chains: ChainIT ID, ChainIT Org ID and Authority Resolution Pactvera connect the acting party to the verified person, organization, role and delegation behind the action.Deterministic pre-execution controls: Versioned authority policies, sourced evidence and rules-based workflows return explicit outcomes such as Allow, Step-Up, Hold, Reject or Prohibit.Transaction-bound authorization: A canonical transaction digest binds the payer, payee, destination, amount, currency or asset, payment rail and other material terms to approval and execution.Agent containment and immutable evidence: Scoped session credentials, single-use execution authorization, capacity controls, append-only Validated Data Tokens and Valitorum preserve what was authorized and what occurred.

“The technical breakthrough is the separation of authentication, delegated authority, proposal activity and final execution,” said Matt Koepp, Chief Technology Officer of ChainIT. “An AI agent may evaluate information and propose an action, but deterministic controls decide whether the action is within scope, whether authority remains current, whether capacity is available, whether human approval is required and whether the exact instruction may be committed.”
