Experience: The cybersecurity industry – vendors, technologies, costs – have largely left small businesses behind. And while they have many of the same requirements as larger organizations, they have virtually no options for managing them.

Until today, small business cybersecurity was too expensive, complicated, time-consuming and confusing.

OrbitalFire is changing all of that.

OrbitalFire is a next-generation cybersecurity services firm focused exclusively on solving cybersecurity challenges for small businesses. Our employees, services, principles and practices are all designed specifically with small businesses in mind.
