CYPFER has announced a leadership transition under its new ownership by Apros Group. The global cybersecurity firm confirmed that Chief Executive Officer Daniel Tobok has separated from the company and no longer holds any executive, board, or operational roles. Jason J. Hogg, who acquired 100% of CYPFER in August 2026, has taken full operational control of the enterprise.
New Ownership and Leadership
The leadership change follows the August 2026 acquisition of CYPFER by Apros Group, a holding company led by Jason J. Hogg. Hogg acquired 100% of the firm and has now assumed full operational control of the enterprise. Daniel Tobok, the company's former CEO, has separated from the business and holds no executive, board, or operational roles across CYPFER or its affiliated global entities.
Background on Jason J. Hogg
Jason J. Hogg is a former FBI Special Agent and cybersecurity industry veteran who previously served as Global CEO of Aon Cyber Solutions Group. He acquired CYPFER to leverage its world-class technical talent and accelerate the firm's growth globally. His leadership background spans both law enforcement and senior corporate roles within the cybersecurity sector.
Pre-Acquisition Advisory Role
Prior to acquiring the firm, Hogg served as an external advisor to CYPFER under the title Executive Chairman through his consulting firm. His responsibilities focused on implementing best practices and controls while positioning the company for global expansion and scale, including streamlining corporate finance, establishing an advisory board, and recruiting senior leadership such as a new CFO and COO. In that advisory capacity, he held no internal management responsibility and operated remotely.
Governance and Financial Oversight
As part of the acquisition, customary financial and technological due diligence and confirmation of earnings were performed, and a multi-year financial audit remains ongoing. Hogg stated that the organization will prioritize rigorous corporate governance, total operational transparency, and accountability across all global operations. These measures are intended to support sustainable growth and reinforce trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Expanded Leadership and Client Continuity
CYPFER is expanding its advisory board and senior executive team with public-company veterans across legal, finance, technology, and operations, including former executives from Fortune 1000 enterprises. The company's frontline team, technical experts, and commercial leadership remain in place to ensure zero disruption and seamless continuity for all 140+ active client cases and incident response operations. These combined changes are designed to reinforce governance while preserving the specialized response capabilities that clients rely on every day.
Leadership Vision and Commitment
Hogg said that CYPFER has extraordinary technical talent and tremendous potential for growth. He emphasized building a strong organization around that talent with rigorous corporate governance, total operational transparency, and accountability. He also stressed the importance of continuity for the clients and partners who depend on the company every day.
