Natasha Bryan Named a 2026 ForzaDash MSPInfluencer Woman of the Channel
Natasha Bryan, CEO of AlphaRidge, has been named a winner of the 2026 ForzaDash MSPInfluencer Women of the MSP Channel Awards.
The recognition honors her disciplined approach to cybersecurity leadership, commitment to accountable service delivery, and ability to translate complex technology risks into practical guidance for business leaders.
Bryan leads AlphaRidge, a New York-based managed IT and cybersecurity company founded in 2012. The firm helps large and growing organizations address technology challenges with greater security, resilience, and operational control.
AlphaRidge serves regulated and mission-critical sectors including healthcare, financial services, energy, government, and nonprofit organizations. Its services focus on proactive cybersecurity, managed IT, compliance readiness, and customized technology solutions.
Building Systems Clients Can Trust
Bryan’s leadership emphasizes the connection between security, operational continuity, and regulatory readiness. For the organizations AlphaRidge supports, these are not independent concerns—they are essential parts of the same operating environment.
A significant milestone came in 2024 when AlphaRidge completed its SOC 2 Type II certification. Achieving that standard required sustained process discipline, documented controls, and a commitment to protecting client information.
The certification reflects Bryan’s broader leadership philosophy: credible cybersecurity must be supported by accountable systems and verifiable practices, not promises alone.
AlphaRidge was also named one of America’s Top 100 Small Businesses by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 2024. That same year, Bryan was selected to participate in the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network cohort.
Making Cybersecurity More Practical
Bryan’s influence extends beyond AlphaRidge through her contributions to the Forbes Technology Council. Her work has addressed AI governance, security tool sprawl, connected-device risk, small-business cyber resilience, and cybersecurity planning for organizations with limited resources.
Rather than discussing cybersecurity only in technical terms, she helps business leaders understand how security connects with governance, operations, budgets, and long-term resilience.
This perspective is especially valuable within the MSP community, where providers frequently support organizations that need meaningful protection but cannot maintain large internal security teams.
The 2026 MSPInfluencer Women of the MSP Channel Award recognizes women whose leadership and contributions create measurable, lasting industry impact.
Bryan’s recognition reflects her ability to combine executive leadership, cybersecurity credibility, compliance discipline, and practical education. Through AlphaRidge and her broader thought leadership, she is helping organizations build secure foundations for sustainable growth.
