Cycurion: Director Ginsberg leaves three board committees over independence; Penn appointed
Cycurion's board determined that director Peter R. Ginsberg no longer meets independence requirements for three board committees because of legal work his law firm performed for the company in 2026. Ginsberg stepped down from those committees effective October 20, 2026, but remains a director, and J. Derek Penn was appointed to the board and to the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees.
