Sera-Brynn:
Certified Cyber Risk Management
Rather than write a bunch of paragraphs about how great we are** and the hundreds and hundreds of clients in dozens of different industries that we’ve helped to mitigate their cyber risk and/or meet their cybersecurity compliance requirements, we thought showing our ten-year evolution was better done through a chronological montage. Here goes:
↓

Partnerships with insurance industry partners, defense industrial base clientele, and financial services affiliates leads to development of a machine language-based next-generation automated breach notification capability backed with a significant warranty with unlimited scalability and able to meet specific market price-points: CHECKLIGHT®!

2021
10 Years of Sera-Brynn!
Our Mission
To bring the power of specialized skills and knowledge, military intelligence/operational experience, and advanced cyber protection technology to support and defend the global commercial marketplace from bad actors and nation-states.
What Does Sera-Brynn Mean?
We get this question all the time!
Sera – Taken from the Sera Monastery in Tibet which is one of the three great monasteries of the Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism.
Brynn – English spelling of the Welsh word “bryn” meaning “hill” or “mound.” Historically, only the strongest get to claim a bryn as their own.
This unique combination reflects two important values in cybersecurity: the relentless pursuit of knowledge and excellence within one’s discipline, and strength through preparedness and resilience.
