Access 2 Networks

Overview

About

Access 2 Networks is a security and networking provider based at 22-5250 Satellite Drive in Mississauga, Ontario. Founded in 1997, the company employs between 11 and 50 people and is owned by Frank Rondinone, who can be reached at 905.795.1711. It serves the Toronto market with a focus on cybersecurity and network infrastructure, covering both the design of secure environments and their ongoing management.

Its service lines include cybersecurity design and consulting, security assessments and governance, authentication, cloud security, security awareness training, managed SIEM, firewalls and gateways, wired and wireless networks, SD-WAN and SASE, MDR and EDR, zero trust, and managed cloud. Its consulting and assessment work covers the evaluation of a client's current security posture and the design of improvements, while its governance services address the policies and controls around how security is managed. Its authentication services cover how users prove their identity to access systems, and its security awareness training addresses the human side of security by teaching staff to recognize threats such as phishing.

Its managed SIEM service covers the collection and analysis of security event data to detect incidents, and its MDR and EDR services cover managed detection and response and endpoint detection and response for client devices. Its firewall and gateway services cover the boundary protection of client networks, and its wired and wireless network services cover the design and management of office connectivity. Its SD-WAN and SASE services cover modern approaches to connecting sites and users securely, its zero trust work covers security models based on verifying every access request, and its cloud security services cover the protection of hosted environments. Its technology partners include Trend Micro, Check Point, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Delinea, and F5.

Its partner mix maps onto its service lines. Trend Micro and CrowdStrike are endpoint and threat protection vendors, supporting its MDR and EDR services and its managed SIEM work that collects and analyzes security event data. Check Point and Cisco cover firewalls, gateways, and the wired and wireless networks the company designs and manages. Delinea is a privileged access management vendor, which connects to its authentication services and zero trust work around verifying every access request. F5 covers application delivery and security, which fits with its work on gateways and secure access. As an owner-led company with 11 to 50 employees, founded in 1997, Access 2 Networks has spent more than 25 years focused on the same discipline: designing secure networks and then managing them. For a Toronto-area organization that needs security treated as the core of its IT rather than an add-on, that specialization is the company's defining characteristic, backed by a partner lineup drawn entirely from the security and networking world.
