OUR STORY

In the realm of security technology, Cadre stands as a pioneer with over two and a half decades of experience. When Cadre was founded in 1991, network security was a nascent concept. Remarkably, the first firewall was invented just a year later.

Our team of software developers quickly branched out into data security, recognizing the significant risks that many organizations had yet to fully comprehend. Initially, our discussions often involved explaining what a firewall does and, frequently, providing foundational knowledge on how a network operates behind the scenes. Inspired by the opportunity to lead in the technological revolution, Cadre officially entered the security arena in 1996.

Shortly thereafter, we began offering support services for some of the earliest and most renowned names in security, including Check Point, CacheFlow (later acquired by Blue Coat Systems), and Ipsilon (later acquired by Nokia). For over a year during this period, we provided Check Point support even before Check Point itself did.

Today, Cadre is a robust organization, boasting a 64% annual growth in net worth since the appointment of former CEO and Chairman Sandra Laney in 2001. Under her leadership, we transitioned to an employee-owned model, fostering a management structure that has enabled us to grow faster and more profitably than many traditionally run competitors.

In 2012, we were honored as Check Point Platinum Partner of the Year and Blue Coat Partner of the Year. These accolades, along with awards from various manufacturing partners, have elevated the Cadre brand to a national level, placing us among a select group of elite solution providers.

At Cadre, we have always believed in the importance of security, even before it became a global concern. Our commitment to this belief drives everything we do, from the security guidance we offer and the technical expertise we provide to our dedication to best-of-breed technology. As the field of security evolves, so does Cadre, continuing to serve as trusted advisors for our clients for decades to come.
