Portland, OR – February 2, 2026 – Eclypsium, the IT infrastructure supply chain security company, today announced that CRN®—a brand of The Channel Company—has selected Scott Lupfer, Vice President, Global Alliances and Channels, for inclusion on the prestigious 2026 CRN Channel Chiefs list. The annual recognition celebrates IT vendor and distribution executives who are shaping channel strategy and driving innovation and partnership across the industry.
“Having a successful partner program requires the right leader to foster relationships and drive innovation to navigate today’s dynamic security landscape. We are thrilled to have Scott leading our partner strategy and congratulate him on this much deserved recognition. His breadth of experience helps him to identify and capitalize on opportunities for collaboration and growth, and we look forward to continuing to grow our partner base in 2026,” said Eclypsium VP of Sales, Colin Brissey.
Supply chain-driven cyber attacks on enterprises, financial institutions, AI cloud providers, and government organizations are rising. Nation-state threat actors increasingly target network infrastructure, servers, and firmware to evade detection and maintain long-term persistence, a trend that poses an enormous risk for AI data centers where rapid construction, enormous investment, and a complex hardware supply chain make them vulnerable targets. Considering that a single AI rack can house 600,000 parts from dozens of factories and multiple countries, channel partners need to expand their offerings to include solutions that mitigate cyber risks introduced through these increasingly complex supply chains. Scott Lupfer serves as the Vice President of Global Alliances and Channels at Eclypsium, where he is responsible for defining and executing strategies to enhance global partnerships and market share in digital supply chain security.
The annual CRN Channel Chiefs list spotlights the most influential leaders across the IT channel, celebrating those who champion collaboration, drive innovation, and empower their partners and customers to achieve shared success.
“Leaders recognized as CRN Channel Chiefs this year have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their partners and the broader IT channel. Their vision, passion and drive for innovation continue to shape the future of our industry. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the positive impact they make every day,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN.
