Warden Networks exists because every business deserves enterprise-grade network security — not just the ones with enterprise budgets.
Warden Networks was founded with a clear purpose: to bring serious network engineering and cybersecurity expertise to businesses that have traditionally been underserved by the industry.
Too often, small and mid-size businesses are sold generic solutions by vendors who don't take the time to understand their environment. The result is infrastructure that looks complete on paper but leaves real gaps in practice.
We do things differently. Every engagement starts with listening. We take the time to understand your business, your constraints, and your goals — then we engineer solutions that actually fit.
Rick Hollmer brings over 29 years in IT and 20+ years specializing in network design and security. He has engineered and secured multi-site enterprise networks across energy, aviation, finance, and tech — working with Cisco, Palo Alto, and Meraki — and now leads Warden Networks, delivering enterprise-grade network engineering to small and mid-sized organizations.
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If your current setup has a serious problem, you'll know about it immediately.
We don't cut corners. Every design decision is deliberate, documented, and explained. We build things that work reliably over time.
You work directly with the engineer doing the work — not a salesperson or a project coordinator. Direct communication produces better outcomes.
Our goal is for you to understand your own infrastructure. We document everything and take the time to walk your team through what was built.
