DefendNet Solutions, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Providence, RI, operated as a developer of security tools focused on providing outsourced managed security services. The company's primary clients were small and medium-sized businesses.
The core of its business was to alleviate the resource-intensive burden of managing network security for its clients. Its service offerings included outsourced security administration, continuous monitoring, and detailed reporting services. These services were delivered through firewall-based facilities.
Operating within the network management software and cybersecurity sectors, DefendNet Solutions was a privately held, venture capital-backed company. The company secured early-stage VC funding on May 22, 2000. A significant milestone in the company's history occurred on May 22, 2001, when it was acquired by Guardent, marking its exit.
