The Alasconnect-Cynet alliance advances a shared commitment to ensure local businesses have the tools they need to stay safe in an increasingly complex digital world.
“At Alasconnect, we believe advanced cybersecurity shouldn’t be out of reach for any of the businesses that power our communities,” said Andrew Trotter, President at Alasconnect. “Through Alasconnect’s partnership with Cynet, we’re able to give those businesses the same level of protection that major corporations enjoy, without the high costs or complexity. It’s one more way we’re working to connect and protect Alaskans.”
