About Ostra

Meet Our Leaders

Ostra’s team is focused on protecting businesses of all sizes

Ostra was co-founded by Michael Kennedy, who spent more than 20 years building multi-layered cybersecurity solutions for some of the world’s largest corporations. He noticed that many small and medium-sized companies didn’t have access to these Fortune 100 cybersecurity resources, which made them more vulnerable to data breaches, malware and ransomware. Leveraging his strong reputation and relationships in the security industry, Michael helped form Ostra in 2018.

Our company is focused on providing a best-in-class solution that makes cybersecurity simple, effective and accessible for businesses of all sizes. Read more about The Ransomware Attack That Sparked Ostra Cybersecurity.
