His advisory role comes as federal agencies and contractors face increasing pressure to operationalize cybersecurity mandates while managing large, distributed infrastructure environments with limited personnel resources.<\/p>\n<p>SteelCloud develops cybersecurity automation software focused on implementing and sustaining security baselines tied to STIGs and CIS Benchmarks \u2014 frameworks widely used across federal and regulated sectors to standardize secure system configurations. The company\u2019s ConfigOS platform automates hardening, remediation and monitoring processes intended to reduce the operational burden associated with maintaining compliance across enterprise infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment reflects growing demand for tools that move cybersecurity compliance from periodic audits toward continuous operational enforcement. Federal agencies and defense-related organizations increasingly need systems capable of maintaining secure configurations across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments while adapting to evolving Zero Trust requirements and expanding attack surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>CEO <strong>Tony Caputo<\/strong> said Korgan\u2019s experience in cybersecurity modernization and federal mission environments will help guide SteelCloud\u2019s platform development and long-term strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Korgan spent part of his career at Microsoft, where he worked on large-scale government technology&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citybiz.co\/article\/848271\/steelcloud-adds-former-microsoft-cybersecurity-executive-mike-korgan-to-advisory-board\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SteelCloud Adds Former Microsoft Cybersecurity Executive Mike Korgan to Advisory Board https:\/\/www.citybiz.co\/article\/848271\/steelcloud-adds-former-microsoft-cybersecurity-executive-mike-korgan-to-advisory-board\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-19&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249426,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.citybiz.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mike-Korgan.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-249425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249425"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249425"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249427,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249425\/revisions\/249427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
