Our Story
Phil Neuman is the Owner and CEO of Cyber Ascend Technologies, (CyAs Tech) a locally owned Information Technology consulting and services firm operating from its headquarters in Scotts Valley, California. CyAs Tech reflects Phil’s commitment to customer service and to the local community, as it is fully geared to support our community’s business builders with technology on their upward path to success.
The entrepreneurial bug bit him in 2001 and he formed PDN Consulting with the mission of offering process-driven technology architecture to solopreneurs, as well as small and medium businesses around the Bay Area. The same year that he started his fledgling company, he met his wife Debbie, who is now an integral part of the company, supporting Phil’s vision for strengthening community through better tech.
In 2016, Phil’s son Zac joined the business, and together they incorporated as PDNC Inc. They began looking to turn their focus from a solo-operation into a thriving company of experienced engineers and skilled business-builders. In 2019, PDNC transformed into Cyber Ascend Technologies, and finally achieved Phil’s vision of becoming a fully-fledged team of passionate, capable techies.
