About Us

Defensible Technology:

A client-centric, security-first managed services and cybersecurity provider

Defensible Technology delivers risk-based, outsourced IT services securely with world-class customer service at an SMB price point. Defensible is the trusted IT partner and Managed Service Provider for security-minded businesses.

Our expertise is gleaned from decades of diverse technical and cybersecurity experience in large-scale, complex environments.  Defensible was founded in 2019 to provide a more flexible and affordable choice for small to medium sized organizations who lack the budget and resources available to larger enterprises.

Defensible is owner-operated and therefore takes a personal interest in each client and their individual security risk management and information technology management requirements. 

We invite you to discover what we can do to make your organization more secure.
