About

Hi, I'm Will Lerner, CISSP and founder of Pacific Breakwater IT.
The CISSP is the industry's most respected cybersecurity certification, held by fewer than 170,000 professionals worldwide.

After more than 15 years of working in IT from enterprise organizations to fast-growing startups and even the Historic Queen Mary, I started Pacific Breakwater IT to bring enterprise level expertise to Long Beach small businesses.

I've seen how the right technology can transform a business, and how the wrong approach (or no IT support at all) can create constant headaches and even fail. My goal is simple: help local businesses use technology confidently, securely, and efficiently.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Microsoft 365 & Azure Cloud Migrations

  • Network security & PCI compliance

  • Cloud Systems & migrations

  • WiFi & network infrastructure

  • Backup & disaster recovery

  • Endpoint security & management

My Approach:

  • No jargon, I’ll explain things in plain English

  • Honest recommendations, not upselling

  • Proactive solutions, not just fixing problems

  • Long Beach local—supporting our community
