The Story of Difenda
In 2008 our CEO, Manoj Arora saw the same issue over and over again—companies misled by the cybersecurity “leaders,” technology resellers promising the impossible, and vendors overselling functionality. There was no uniformity in the cybersecurity industry and it led to poor customer experience and unsecure security processes.
With Difenda, Manoj wanted to change that dynamic and focus specifically on the customer’s outcome. Through this journey, he made an important discovery. He saw that the future of cybersecurity needed to be an integrated, connected, and collaborative experience that unified departments and provided total visibility into the people, processes, and technology that drive companies forward.
Today, Difenda is recognized as a trusted authority when it comes to Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for IoT, and securing customer environments leveraging the power of Microsoft.
Difenda is committed to diversity and an inclusive culture, working hard to attract, develop, engage, and retain a global talent mix to fuel our competitive advantage. We are looking for game changers ready to master new technologies, break down security silos, and become trusted advisors for some of the largest and fastest growing companies in the world.
