K2 Integrity Enhances Technology Capabilities Through Acquisition of Leviathan Security Group

NEW YORK - Rezul -- K2 Integrity, a global leader in risk management, investigations, and assurance services, today announced the acquisition of Leviathan Security Group, an industry leader in designing and delivering cybersecurity services and programs utilizing cutting edge capabilities for some of the world's most influential companies.

Aaron Karczmer, who was named CEO of K2 in October of 2025, has set a technology and AI-enabled strategic focus for the company. Aaron came to K2 with more than two decades of experience in the areas of enterprise transformation, global operations, and risk, including financial crime, cyber, and regulatory risk. Aaron's leadership experience spans PayPal, American Express, and the New York County District Attorney's office where, in the early 2000s, he co-founded and led a unit dedicated to combating identity theft and cyber-crime. Throughout Aaron's career, he has consistently leveraged technology, data, and cross-sector partnerships to drive transformation and deliver impact.

Michael Flowers, a world-renowned data expert with deep expertise in data strategy, public and private sector innovation, and technology policy, joined Aaron at K2 in October of 2025. Mike has a proven track record of launching, executing, and scaling data-driven initiatives and capacities for the City of New York, the federal government where he had a leadership role in the Government Services Administration, and in private industry. As K2's global leader for data and technology, Mike has quickly developed the foundation for a modern tech stack that enables the conversion of data into actionable insights and sets the stage for AI-powered services for K2 and its clients.

With a career spanning nearly 30 years, Frank Heidt built Leviathan around a simple, yet powerful conviction: exceptional talent, working together, achieves what no individual can do alone. As the firm's architect, Frank led the creation and long-term growth of Leviathan by deliberately assembling an elite team of security professionals drawn from the world's leading consultancies, industries, and government agencies, practitioners who shared an uncompromising standard for excellence. This exceptional group has earned Leviathan a reputation for world-class information assurance, risk assessment, and penetration testing across both the private and public sectors.
