About EverettYoung

Cybersecurity Product & Operations Specialists

At EverettYoung, we are cybersecurity product and operations specialists that build solutions to empower network defenders, allowing them to do their best work every day in fast-paced cyber defense environments.

Attackers have fewer constraints, they are highly motivated, and relentlessly innovative. We go to work combining process and technology to give defenders the edge they need to keep their companies and communities secure.

Our Approach

Why Process Matters in Cyber Defense

At its foundation, cybersecurity is managing the impact of crime and statecraft—both fundamentally human endeavours that cannot be addressed simply with the next technological enhancement. Technology innovations in cyber are zero-sum—attackers and defenders gain access to the same advancements at roughly equivalent rates. This means people are the true differentiator. We believe that adequately equipping and preparing your team of skilled defenders is the only way to gain a sustainable edge. That conviction drives everything about how we work.
