Who is Sun Management?
Sun Management is a leading security solutions provider in the Mid-Atlantic supporting Enterprise, Commercial, SLED, and Federal Customers.

With ever-evolving technology trends, Sun Management helps Customers accelerate adoption of these trends through engineering, training, and education with strategic Partners and solutions. Leading edge technology and solutions require in-depth engineering support to be successful.
Sun Management recognizes the rapid evolution of internet security and the necessity of ongoing training as part of successful projects.

Sun Management offers a comprehensive IT roadmap to our customers differentiating them from their Peers, fulfilling IT business objectives, and elevated business outcomes.

This commitment to focus and excellence can also be found in Sun’s MSSP offering. If you look at the majority of other MSSP providers you will, again, find they tout supporting many varying security technologies, all things to all people. Sun’s MSSP offering is built on PANW’s Gartner Leading Magic Quadrant SOAR, Demisto, and PANW’s Gartner Leading Magic Quadrant NextGen Firewall. We are not good at every technology, we are excellent at a few technologies.
