You’re being asked to defend more — with less — against attackers who move faster than your tools update.
You don’t need another platform. You don’t need another vendor pitch. You need a partner who has actually sat in your chair, knows how your stack was supposed to work, and will tell you the truth about what’s broken. That’s what we built Accelerynt to be.
The breach is already in your stack. We help you find it first.
We sat in your chair.
Accelerynt was started by a four-time CIO who spent fifteen years signing security budgets and watching his teams chase alerts. He kept seeing the same pattern: spend goes up every year, understanding of actual risk goes down. He left in 2018 to build the firm the industry wasn’t offering. His head of cybersecurity joined him a year later.
We know what it’s like to inherit a stack you didn’t choose. To explain to a board why the breach you read about in the news could have happened to you. To pay an MSSP six figures and still not have a straight answer when someone asks are we safer than we were last quarter.
We built Accelerynt because that experience shouldn’t be the default.
100% employee-owned. No exit clock.
Most of the MSSPs in your inbox answer to private equity. Their incentives — pricing, scope, bench composition — move on a clock that isn’t yours. When the fund needs returns, your account feels it.
We don’t have that clock. When you renew with Accelerynt, you renew with the same operators, working the same way, with the same incentives they had on day one. That’s not a culture statement. It’s a structural one.
The CIO who hired MSSPs. The Director of Cyber Security who lived with them.
Accelerynt’s founders didn’t come up through the MSSP world. They came up running the security and technology programs that hire MSSPs — which is why they built something different.
Michael was a four-time enterprise CIO before founding Accelerynt in 2018. He spent fifteen years on the customer side of MSSP relationships at companies that don’t tolerate security theater: Digital Realty, Rovi/XPeri, Ericsson, and Align Technology.
Mike ran cybersecurity at Digital Realty during Michael’s tenure as CIO there. He joined Accelerynt as co-founder in 2019 after watching the firm get built. His career is in the operator seat: security architecture at Torchmark, cyber at Parsons, security delivery at Dell Federal. He chairs SMU’s Cyber Security Advisory Board and is a CompTIA SME.
Authority isn’t a claim. It’s evidence.
You shouldn’t trust a security firm because they ask you to.
Here’s what we’ve actually built, shipped, and proven — in public.
Of our team holds active security certifications
Senior bench averages 15+ years in security operations. Practitioners only — no junior consultants learning on your environment.
Same founders. Same incentives. Day one.
The people who built Accelerynt still run it and still own it. Your account contact this year is the same person it’ll be in three years — because no one is timing an exit.
Public open-source Microsoft Sentinel and Defender tools
Parsers, ingestion connectors, and playbooks for Sentinel, Defender, Entra ID, Okta, CrowdStrike, Checkmarx, Datadog, MuleSoft, Zscaler — published to GitHub for the security community. The work shows.

Three steps. No surprises.
We don’t show up with a slide deck and a list of tools you should buy. We show up with a process.
See what’s real.
We start every engagement with an evidence-based assessment of what’s actually working in your environment — and what isn’t. No theater. Backed by the Accelerynt Guarantee.
Close what’s open.
We harden your Microsoft stack, consolidate where you’ve sprawled, and tighten the configurations that are quietly exposing you. Through the Accelerynt Security Platform and our engineering team.
Operate, prove, repeat.
Our managed services team runs it daily, measured on time-to-resolve and posture improvement — not tickets closed. Your board gets evidence, not narrative.
Three things you won’t see from us.
Every firm publishes a list of values. Here’s our inverse — the things we refuse to do, because the industry has trained you to expect them.
Lock you in.
No proprietary “single pane of glass” you can’t take with you when we part ways. Everything we build sits in your Microsoft tenant, owned by you, portable on day one.
Sell you tools you don’t need.
Our Security Tool ROI Assessment exists to consolidate spend, not grow it.
Hide behind a portal.
You’ll know the operator working your environment by first name. They’ll know yours. No tier-one queue. No “we’ll have an engineer reach out.”
Hire operators. Not a service desk.
If you’ve been on the buying side of an MSSP relationship that didn’t work, you already know what we’re building.
