Onwardly is Now Sydekick: A New Era for Cybersecurity Resilience

Onwardly

July 4, 2025

We started Onwardly with a clear mission: to help businesses navigate cybersecurity challenges with confidence. But as we’ve grown, we’ve realised that our name needed to evolve with us.  

Today, we’re excited to introduce Sydekick—a brand that better represents who we are, what we do, and who we serve.  

Why Sydekick? 

Every great hero needs a trusted sidekick. Our customers are the heroes, tackling security and compliance challenges every day. Sydekick is here to support them—offering guidance, tools, and expertise to make cybersecurity easier and more effective.  

This transition also comes with an exciting leadership change:  

➡ Kendra Ross joins as Co-Founder & CEO  

➡ Phil Howie, Founder, moves into the CTO/COO role  

While our name is changing, our commitment remains the same: helping businesses build resilience, simplify compliance, and stay ahead of cyber risks.  

What’s next?  

- From April 8th, you’ll see Sydekick take centre stage across our platform and communications.  

- Onwardly will remain visible in some places as we migrate, but Sydekick is our future.  

- We’re excited about this new era and can’t wait to bring more innovation and impact to cybersecurity worldwide.  

Join us on this journey—because every hero deserves a great sidekick.
