Michael Kennedy
Background
The Truth In Cyber movement is designed for IT leaders and vendors who are tired of the status quo, and want to join us to help change the industry. It calls on technology, IT, and cybersecurity solution providers to be intentional about collaborating and working transparently with clients, peers, and competitors.
Cybersecurity industry trailblazer Michael Kennedy is the founder of TruthInCyber.org. He spent 20+ years leading network infrastructure, security, program management, and M&A integration teams before starting Ostra Cybersecurity in 2018.
Throughout his career, Michael noticed a growing problem with service providers in the cybersecurity space: a lack of transparency. Thanks to a highly saturated and competitive market, technology providers and MSSPs are too focused on closing deals and hiding their “secret sauce” from competitors. Many have lost sight of their core purpose—which is to help clients prevent and recover quickly from cyberattacks—and instead use predatory sales practices instead of taking care of people. As a result, we are all losing the war on cybercrime.
To change this narrative, Kennedy and Ostra Cybersecurity decided to launch the Truth In Cyber movement. Sign the Truth In Cyber Pledge today!
