After an entertaining welcome presentation by Data-Tech president and CEO Chris Lietz in the new Cyber-Threat Defense Center, guests dispersed to various areas of the facility to learn more, depending on their specific preferences and areas of concern.  A number of visitors filled Data-Tech’s Solution Center to witness Senior Dell System Engineer Rob Krug’s “Fortifying the Network” demonstration, where they learned some of the more advanced strategies to keep corporate networks safe from today’s constant stream of cyber-threats.

Data-Tech’s own VMS Engineer Jonathon Blacklidge educated guests on the dire importance of endpoint encryption, as well as the power of Kaseya—the robust monitoring and management tool behind Data-Tech’s award-winning managed services.
