Shaping the Future of Managed Security

With advanced tech, proven processes, and people who care, we’re helping companies move from reactive chaos to proactive, confident protection.

Why Michael Kennedy founded Ostra Security

We believe cybersecurity should be a partnership, not a black box.

Ostra’s mission is to deliver outcomes that protect and grow with our customers, partners, and employees.

Founded by Michael Kennedy in 2018, on the simple idea that growing businesses deserve the same level of protection as the top 1% of businesses. From our humble beginnings and first customers to today’s hundreds of businesses, thousands of endpoints and billions of events detected, Ostra has stayed true to its core of delivering powerful managed security that’s built around you, not some ridged stack or cookie-cutter playbook.

We make enterprise security simple, accessible and human. Gone are the days of building security teams of 50 to protect your business. We designed Ostra differently, with simplicity, transparency, and protection in mind.

Safeguarding Your Data, Protecting Your Business

Ostra Cybersecurity combines best-in-class tools, proprietary technology and exceptional talent to deliver Fortune 100-level protection for businesses of all sizes. Sleep soundly at night while Your Trusted Cybersecurity Team proactively hunts, remediates and resolves threats in real time.

Own the Outcome: We take responsibility for results, not just activity.

One Step Ahead: Hackers don’t rest. Neither do we. We learn fast, adapt faster and continuously and thoughtfully raise the bar.

Fight for the Underserved: We fill gaps. We level the playing field. We protect what matters most.

Partner with real, approachable people who are subject matter experts in integration, security management, monitoring and remediation.
