Kelly Markey isn’t your typical cybersecurity executive. The founder and CEO of Revival Tech Solutions Consulting has channeled her extensive experience into creating a specialized company that empowers businesses of any size to meet their security and compliance needs without overwhelming their resources. Revival Tech Solutions offers fractional CISO services to organizations that are genuinely committed to reducing risk and protecting their clients, customers, and business operations.
Markey founded Revival Tech Solutions to address a critical need: while many companies recognize the importance of cybersecurity, they often lack the resources for dedicated, full-time IT and security teams. She brings a unique edge to the industry, bridging the gap between technology and business with expertise that benefits clients ranging from midsize firms to large enterprises valued at over $2 billion. Known for translating complex technical and security concepts into clear business value, Markey ensures that leaders across all levels gain a practical, actionable understanding of security initiatives.
Markey provides adaptable, cost-effective solutions aligned with each client’s specific risks and goals. Her approach balances proactive risk mitigation with an understanding that businesses need flexible, sustainable solutions that don’t break the bank.
“I want to work with clients who truly care about doing the right thing,” Markey explains. “For me, it’s about helping organizations not just meet compliance requirements but also protect their customers and support their growth. Revival is about finding the right solutions that genuinely reduce risk, allowing organizations to operate efficiently without compromise.”
Markey’s path to cybersecurity was shaped by her military background. After serving in the Air Force as a security specialist, she discovered her passion for cybersecurity. Her military experience gave her exceptional attention to detail and a focus on precision, forming the foundation of her approach to security and compliance.
“Military training taught me how to build sound strategies and execute with efficiency, precision, and accuracy,” Markey says. “I bring that same level of dedication to my clients. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on creating right-sized, scalable solutions that meet unique business needs without excessive costs.”
In her career, which has spanned roles across finance, health, and tech sectors, Markey has built cybersecurity programs from scratch and served as a trusted advisor to many successful organizations. Her current work with Affineon Health underscores the growing intersection of technology, healthcare, and finance—a dynamic area where security considerations are paramount. Markey’s guidance supports companies as they incorporate emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence, into their operations.
“When companies introduce AI, they’re handling sensitive data in new ways and adapting to different client expectations,” Markey explains. “It’s essential to approach this with transparency and understand the potential risks to data security and trust. Revival helps organizations navigate these changes in a way that keeps security at the forefront.”
Markey’s values guide her client relationships. She seeks partners who prioritize the future and understand that compliance alone doesn’t guarantee security. Her focus on mitigating real risks rather than simply meeting minimum standards has earned her a reputation for integrity and dedication.
“Working with organizations that share my vision for responsible security practices is essential,” she says. “I don’t want to work with clients who see security as a box to check. I look for companies that recognize the evolving nature of risks and are committed to staying ahead.”
Markey’s background as a veteran contributes to her approach, particularly when she has the opportunity to work with fellow veterans. The shared mindset of precision, adaptability, and teamwork creates a unique synergy that enriches each collaboration.
“There’s an unspoken understanding among veterans,” she says. “Attention to detail and a controlled, disciplined approach to execution are second nature. I always look forward to working with those who bring this level of dedication to the table.”
For Kelly Markey, cybersecurity is about more than checking boxes or meeting standards—it’s about building resilient organizations prepared to thrive amid evolving risks. Revival Tech Solutions is Markey’s way of ensuring that her clients, whether startups or billion-dollar enterprises, can focus on growth, confident that their security and compliance foundations are sound and scalable.
