Cybersecurity leader joins elite class of finalists recognized for innovation and entrepreneurial impact
ShorePoint today announced its Co-founder and CEO, Matt Brown, has been named a finalist for the prestigious EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 Mid-Atlantic Award. The honor, awarded by EY US, recognizes trailblazing founders, transformational CEOs, and multi-generational business leaders who are driving innovation and revolutionizing their industries. Brown was selected by an independent panel of CEOs, former award winners, and senior finance and business executives based on his demonstrated impact, growth trajectory, and entrepreneurial leadership.
“Being named a finalist for this award is a genuine honor and a reflection of what we’ve built together at ShorePoint,” said Brown. “I’m proud to be recognized alongside such an accomplished group of business leaders.”
Brown co-founded ShorePoint with a commitment to technical excellence, transparency, and shared leadership. That approach has fueled seven consecutive years of double-digit growth every year since the company’s inception in 2017. Under his leadership, the firm has become a trusted partner for some of the federal government’s most complex cyber missions, with recognized capabilities in zero trust, security data integration, and emerging areas including post-quantum cryptography and AI security. ShorePoint has also been certified as a Great Place to Work® for eight consecutive years. In 2025, the company welcomed a strategic private equity investment to accelerate its next stage of growth, a milestone that reflects both the strength of the company and the opportunity ahead.
