Southwest Networks - Managed IT Services & Cybersecurity
About Us

About Southwest Networks — 30 Years of Protecting Local Businesses

Southwest Networks has been the Coachella Valley's trusted IT partner since 1996. We're not a faceless national brand — we're your neighbors, and we answer the phone when you call.

Built in the Desert, For the Desert

Southwest Networks was founded in Palm Desert with a simple belief: local businesses deserve enterprise-grade technology without the enterprise-level complexity. Thirty years later, that belief still drives everything we do.

We've grown alongside the businesses we serve — from the resorts and medical practices of the Coachella Valley to the construction firms and financial offices of the Inland Empire. Every one of them gets the same thing: a dedicated team that knows their name, their systems, and their priorities.

Today, Southwest Networks provides full-stack managed IT services — cybersecurity, data backup, network infrastructure, and VOIP — to businesses across 18 cities. We've been recognized as a CRN MSP 500 company three years running, and named to the CRN Fast Growth 150. But the thing we're most proud of? Our average 15-minute response time.

Leadership

Matt Disher, CEO

CISSP + HCISPP Certified

Matt holds the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) — the gold standard in cybersecurity — and the HCISPP (HealthCare Information Security and Privacy Practitioner), held by fewer than 5,000 IT professionals worldwide.

When you work with Southwest Networks, you're getting peer-level conversations with a certified expert — not a sales pitch from a call center.
