Presidio, founded in 1992 and based in New York and owned by BC Partners, is an IT and managed-security solutions provider that acquired Internetwork Engineering in 2025 and earlier Red Sky Solutions, an MSSP, consolidating regional managed-security and network-integration firms into a national platform.
It is a services-led consolidator rather than a product company.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Expands security-service capability through acquiring regional integrators rather than developing new technology.
A large, established national IT/security integrator with decades of delivery experience.
Multiple acquisitions (Internetwork Engineering, Red Sky Solutions) show sustained roll-up momentum into managed security.
A conventional regional-integrator consolidation strategy rather than a disruptive security approach.
Long track record delivering IT and security integration services to enterprise customers.
Managed security and network integration remain relevant needs, though Presidio competes with many similar national integrators.
Why CISOs Should Care
Presidio, a BC Partners-owned IT and managed-security solutions provider, acquired Internetwork Engineering in 2025 and earlier Red Sky Solutions (MSSP), giving CISOs a larger, more geographically broad managed-security and IT-infrastructure integrator.
What Makes It Different
Presidio differentiates as a PE-backed IT/security integrator consolidating regional managed-security and network-integration firms (Internetwork Engineering, Red Sky Solutions) into a national platform, combining infrastructure and security services under one roof.
The Matrix Verdict
42/100 — INCUMBENT
An established, PE-owned IT-and-security solutions integrator steadily expanding its managed-security footprint through regional acquisitions (Internetwork Engineering, Red Sky Solutions), giving it national reach as a services-led consolidator rather than a product company.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Presidio's primary business is IT infrastructure and digital-services integration; managed security is one of several service lines, built out via acquisition rather than being cyber-native from founding.
