The three Ascend managed services packages.
Ascend Core
Ascend Core is the managed IT foundation from Ascend Technologies.
It covers day-to-day support for your people and the infrastructure behind them, with essential security built in from the start.
Ascend Defend Guardian
Ascend Defend Guardian is the advanced cybersecurity package for organizations whose regulatory exposure or risk profile has outgrown essential protection. Guardian builds on Ascend Core with deeper threat protection and a security team that acts when something goes wrong.
Ascend Intelligence
Ascend Intelligence is the AI and data package from Ascend Technologies.
It is built on three pillars: Sanctioned AI, Data Foundation, and Agentic Operations, with security and governance at the core of each. Start with one service or combine them as your AI program grows.

Why organizations choose an Ascend package.
When your IT and your security sit with different vendors, every incident starts with a conversation about whose problem it is. An Ascend package puts that work with one team under one agreement. Ascend holds the Microsoft Security Threat Protection Specialization and has been named to both the CRN MSP 500 Elite 150 and the Channel Futures MSP 501.

About Ascend Managed Services Packages
Ascend Technologies offers three managed services packages. Ascend Core is the managed IT foundation, Ascend Defend Guardian is advanced cybersecurity for regulated and higher-risk organizations, and Ascend Intelligence covers governed AI and the data foundation it runs on. Each package has its own page with full details.
A package is a defined bundle of managed services that Ascend Technologies delivers under one agreement. A service is a single capability, such as managed detection and response. Some services are included in a package and others are delivered on their own, and each service page says which applies.
Yes. Several Ascend Technologies services, including managed detection and response, are delivered outside the packages. The Services page lists every service Ascend offers.
