our mission

Message from Founder & CEO:

“My passion to change the cybersecurity industry was inspired a few years ago when I received a call from a hospital executive who was in tears, struggling to save lives during a ransomware attack.

Today, we at Astro are here to protect you whether you’re a small business, nonprofit or hospital that is tired of feeling vulnerable.

Our goal is simple: to secure not just your organization, but your dreams and livelihood.”
