OnDefend has joined BDO Alliance USA as an independent member of BDO Alliance. OnDefend can provide access to strategic relationships, marketing and resources by drawing on the capabilities of BDO USA and other Alliance members.

“We believe the professionals of OnDefend share BDO’s commitment to exemplary client service and we want to welcome them into the BDO Alliance USA,” says Michael Horwitz, BDO USA, LLP partner and executive director of Alliance Services.

OnDemand is primarily known for enterprise cybersecurity testing and compliance consulting. They recently launched CyberSURE, the company’s new cybersecurity solution for midsize and smaller businesses that previously had no affordable or viable option to become cyber secure.

A proprietary user-led software solution, CyberSURE is a plug-and-play security platform that assesses a company’s real-time cyber risks, assigns a Cyber Score, lists recommendations and provides tools and support to secure the company. Once the client’s Cyber Score improves, they receive a Cyber Secure Certificate to certify they are safe to do business with. CyberSURE clients also have access to a discounted cyber insurance policy to cover issues related to attacks and hacks.

“CyberSURE is a first of its kind solution giving local and regional companies an affordable way to visualize their current cybersecurity risks as well as the tools to become cyber secure,” says OnDefend Cofounder Ben Fink. “CyberSURE will help these companies meet the goal of securing and protecting their company from threats while giving them an easy way to ensure a cyber-safe future.”

“We are excited to expand our relationship with BDO USA,” says OnDefend Cofounder Chris Freedman. “Being a trusted Alliance member allows opportunities to work even more closely in collaboration with BDO USA and its Alliance members across the country.”
