Has the “Value Add” in VAR disappeared for you? You’re not alone in asking that question.
At Defy Security, we built our company to challenge the status quo and address the concerns we hear from CISOs and security leaders. Our client-first approach is the foundation of our success and a key reason we are the fastest-growing cybersecurity VAR in North America.
Changing the Cybersecurity Buying Experience
We take a modern, client-centric approach to cybersecurity procurement. Here’s how we stand apart:
Unbiased Expertise with Informed Perspective
With 450+ cybersecurity vendor partnerships, we don’t push a single solution—we offer unbiased recommendations tailored to your needs. While we remain neutral, we bring informed perspectives and expert opinions to help you select the right security technology for your organization.
Client-First Mentality
Our sellers and solution architects have no sales quotas—ensuring their only priority is what’s best for you. We remove misaligned incentives so you can trust that our recommendations are solely focused on your security objectives.
Exclusive Research at No Cost
Our clients leverage Defy as an extension of their team (another FTE of sorts which you don’t have to pay for)! We do so by tapping into our Defy Lab repository—a rich resource of documented projects, vendor research, technology evaluations, and side-by-side market analyses—all available at no charge.
Optimized Cybersecurity Investment
We help clients negotiate the best pricing for both new purchases and annual renewals, leveraging our industry influence to drive cost savings. Additionally, our proven methodology identifies opportunities to rationalize, consolidate, and optimize your security stack, reducing tool sprawl while enhancing operational efficiency and lowering costs.
Defy Security Puts the “Value Add” Back in VAR
Consider Defy an extension of your team—helping you assess, select, procure, and deploy the best security technologies for your environment. If your current VAR has lost the “VA” in VAR, it’s time to make a change.
Let’s redefine value—together.
