Why We Exist

Ostra Cybersecurity is passionate about protecting small businesses and mid-sized companies. Ostra was founded by cybersecurity trailblazer Michael Kennedy after a transformative conversation around the campfire. As he heard his friend share about a recent ransomware attack on his business, Michael knew he must do something to prevent others from dealing with this same type of uncertainty and chaos. This begged the question: Doesn’t everyone deserve best-in-class data protection—not just big business? The resounding YES motivated him to build Ostra.
