ANN ARBOR SensCy, a cybersecurity start-up, launched July 25 to help small and medium-sized organizations through a high-tech, high-touch model. Last year alone, cyberattacks on SMOs increased by over 400 percent. SensCy brings a sensible cyber solution to SMOs that includes sound policy, best practices, education, and a clear understanding of their cyberhealth to dramatically reduce their chances of a catastrophic cybersecurity event.

“SMOs find cyber solutions to be expensive, complicated, and time-consuming, unlike larger organizations who might have greater resources” Snyder said. “SensCy’s sole focus is to improve the cyberhealth of small and medium-sized organizations, ensuring that they are prepared to respond should a cyberattack occur. We offer our clients an affordable, easily understood solution and the personal attention required to create a proactive cybersecurity
culture to help mitigate their risk.”

In addition to Rick Snyder, SensCy is founded by three other senior executives, Bhushan Kulkarni, David Behen, and Dave Kelly. Company management possesses over 100 years of IT and cybersecurity experience, extensive business and entrepreneurial expertise, and are recognized experts in their fields. The founders have started and managed multiple successful startups, raised capital and have served thousands of customers.

SensCy has partnered with the Small Business Association of Michigan to offer its services to
SBAM members.

“More than ever, small businesses need to be protected from cyberattacks,” said SBAM Senior Vice President Scott Lyon. “However, typically cyber solutions are too expensive and complicated for small businesses. This new partnership connects small businesses with cybersecurity services at an affordable rate, from a Michigan-based company.”

“Cybersecurity vulnerabilities and intrusions pose risks for each financial services firm, and its reputation. Finance companies need to ensure that the approach they adopted remains flexible and resilient to address threats that are likely to be constantly evolving and multi-pronged.
