cybermaxx

A Chicago-based firm that specializes in working with tech-powered business service firms has led the recapitalization of a cybersecurity company founded under the umbrella of regional accounting and advisory firm LBMC.

Members of the management team at CyberMaxx — which began life in 2009 as LBMC Information Security but rebranded in 2018 — joined Periscope Equity in the funding, which bought out LBMC’s remaining stake. Based at the 5th & Main building in East Nashville, CyberMaxx helps more than 1,000 health care facilities and 40 percent of the major hospital systems in the U.S. — including locally based LifePoint Health — prevent, detect and repel cyberattacks. Also on its client roster are AmSurg, the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority and Change Healthcare.
