Recognizing One of Cybersecurity's Most Critical Groups Lean IT teams represent one of the most operationally critical (and historically underserved) groups in cybersecurity today. According to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Z7x1COjEaXjN5b8jwHxiHJ1AgyTqigtsEDONOl7H_fivuJ0a8JZoBLaTWU3G_5qmZ6ogMs5zk3Bum5n8N15Pg-6aNe7L-uwsm1qMj8h4yNFcG9PTV7Fi-JZDc6rslvshh_7YqirIgCFNosYtBD6Qyz9IabnVU1QgJIllAw2zbYUYlNdrvNUxLefSrST6vokVUdGFu_F_JP-SlTHcaZThuA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">ISC2’s 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study</a>, 59% of organizations reported critical or significant cybersecurity skills shortages, underscoring the growing operational pressure placed on lean IT and security teams. Defined not simply by headcount, but by the widening gap between operational responsibility and available resources, these professionals manage endpoints, email threats, cloud environments, and compliance obligations while simultaneously supporting users and maintaining infrastructure. Yet the tools available to them have historically been built for organizations structured around specialization, creating a growing disconnect between how cybersecurity platforms are traditionally built and how lean IT teams actually operate today. “Lean IT teams are the unsung heroes of cybersecurity,” said Joe Sykora, CEO of Coro. “For years, the industry has framed lean IT as ‘doing more with less.’ That language undersells the operational reality these teams navigate every day. Lean IT professionals are managing enterprise-level responsibility through increasingly lean operating models, and they are doing it with remarkable precision and agility. Global Lean IT Day is about changing that narrative and ensuring the industry builds technology that actually reflects how these teams work.” Building a Larger Industry Conversation Global Lean IT Day will feature partner and MSP activations across multiple regions, along with social media campaigns encouraging the broader industry to recognize lean IT professionals. Channel partners, MSPs, security vendors, and IT professionals are invited to participate using #GlobalLeanITDay. Join the Global Lean IT Day Conversation To mark the inaugural Global Lean IT Day, Coro is hosting a special webinar experience focused on the realities of lean IT operations today. The event will feature a pre-recorded discussion with Joe Sykora and Coro Vice President of Security Strategy Benjamin Morrell, along with a live Q&amp;A session with Coro Director of Sales Engineering Vincent Delbar, where they'll discuss operational efficiency, AI-native security, and the future of lean IT environments. Global Lean IT Day is not just about recognition. It is about creating a larger industry conversation around how cybersecurity operations are evolving. The webinar will take place today, June 16 at 11 a.m. Central Time and can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=eOXW_dQrFkQjlyl7ucBSyal7ik-TaRVV503Q_pye7r0UEmb8cgkx3M1q9V4irGgVtU-mU-ktVZDH1Rt_Yf3VKtOd6UNaDgAN2Omy4l5Cvuj3Au1Ux-5NzFBzQ5oFt02-vWwBMoWDXqzihp93IKbj_fFh34tHNJUCto4XAwQ6qotsUdYH03okRE1sN8YtOcR0FuCW0l1EEYpQYH-8N7TF-GGxBZPP7cP0mh6LJwrds02z1-Ysb6-KAQmKcULaa5c0eTcuhvQd3Sw8q0sdXhlpRLVm89vz3E9OjFJW6zaLfJk=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Register for the Global Lean IT Day Webinar</a> Access the Global Lean IT Day Media Kit Looking for additional resources to help spread the word?

Lean IT Is Becoming the Operational Standard The launch of Global Lean IT Day reflects a broader shift happening across modern cybersecurity operations. As organizations consolidate resources, expand digital infrastructure, and navigate increasingly distributed environments, lean IT is increasingly becoming the operational standard across modern business environments. Global Lean IT Day was created to recognize that reality, build community among professionals who often operate in isolation, and ensure the professionals at the center of this shift are recognized, supported, and equipped for the future. Global Lean IT Day will be observed annually on June 16 moving forward. About Coro Coro is a leading global cybersecurity platform purpose-built for organizations with Lean IT teams.
