Data-Tech to Host 20th Anniversary Open House, Cyber Threat Symposium
Data-Tech will celebrate 20 years of providing award-winning information technology services throughout Tampa Bay and beyond by hosting an Open House and informative Cyber-Threat Symposium on March 30 in Tampa.
Tampa, FL, March 2, 2016 (Newswire.com) - On March 30, 2016, Data-Tech—Tampa Bay’s premier cyber-security and cloud services provider—will celebrate their 20-year anniversary with an Open House and “Cyber-Threat Protection Symposium.” Guests at the event will learn the latest strategies and techniques to protect against the slew of current IT threats first hand, through a number of thought-provoking demonstrations from thought leaders throughout the IT security industry (including Data-Tech partners Dell SonicWALL and StorageCraft, among others).
The cyber-threat landscape today is bleak to say the least, and according to a number of recent studies on the subject, it’s only getting worse. More attacks are being launched every day against businesses of all sizes across the nation, with greater success than ever before. One recent study by the Ponemon Institute found that 90% of businesses surveyed had been victimized by a successful hack over the last 12 months; 77% of respondents believe they were breached more than once. Research finds that most successful hacks are perpetrated against companies with existing security systems in place; cyber-criminals have found ways to exploit holes in current systems to launch successful attacks.
"Way too many SMBs are being victimized by cyber-crime today, unnecessarily. It's not that they don't have security in place; the problem is hackers are constantly exploiting holes in current systems. Many professionals don't realize that there are very effective methods to eliminate those holes. We look forward to the opportunity to educate as well as to show our guests a great time!"
Mike Ponticello, Chief Information Officer
With that in mind, Data-Tech—named in 2015 as a Top Ten Security Service Provider in the industry (CSO Outlook Magazine)—seeks to educate the masses on these very real dangers, as well as the extremely effective solutions and strategies available today to keep business networks safe.
The event is a great opportunity to get a look behind the scenes of a world-class IT service provider, as guests are invited to tour Data-Tech’s top notch facility, complete with a privately owned data center and a contemporary training venue. Complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be readily available while guests mingle and network with fellow Bay area professionals. Several lucrative door prizes will be awarded to lucky attendees as well.
The 20th Anniversary Open House and Cyber-Threat Prevention Symposium will take place on Wednesday, March 30 at Data-Tech’s headquarters located at 7904 Hopi Place in Tampa, 33634. This can’t-miss event is completely free of charge, but guests are asked to register in advance online at https://www.datatechitp.com/data-tech-2016-open-house/.
