Accendnetworks

Accend Networks is an IT solutions provider and outsourcing company based in San Francisco, founded in July 2011 by Paula Wong. Wong holds a C-10 Electrical Contractor License and a C-7 Low Voltage Contractor License, along with Certified Ethical Hacker (Master, Practical) credentials, dual Cisco CCIEs in Security and Routing & Switching, and PCNSE certification from Palo Alto Networks. The firm works with local, state, and federal government bodies, K-12 institutions, and small and medium-sized companies.

Services span managed IT and managed security with 24x7 network monitoring, help desk and remote support for local and national clients, and network and WiFi setup backed by structured cabling work. Cloud architecture across major platforms sits alongside application services built on Microsoft, Citrix, and VMware, plus data center and virtualization support. On the security side, the team runs network security audits, penetration testing, vulnerability management, and compliance and governance work to address risks from viruses, ransomware, and network attacks.

The company also tracks emerging technology areas including AI, IoT, and machine learning as part of its broader technical scope. Its licensing credentials in electrical and low-voltage contracting point to hands-on infrastructure work beyond typical helpdesk support, while the CCIE and PCNSE certifications held by its founder reflect a security-first posture that carries through the firm's audit and penetration testing services.
