What’s New?
This year, the Kaseya Connect Global Event will be a one-of-a-kind event. Keeping in mind the needs and preferences of all attendees, participants can choose to attend the event live or virtually from the comfort of their homes. Sounds great, right?
As with live attendees, virtual attendees will also get access to all the mainstage events, get to watch the most anticipated breakouts, chat with sponsors and mingle with peers on our state-of-the-art virtual platform. But that’s not all. Even your technicians can obtain virtual certifications with the ability to purchase a training pass.
Let’s Talk Cybersecurity
Data breach costs rose from $3.86 million to $4.24 million in 2021, the highest average total cost in the 17-year history of the IBM Annual Cost of a Data Breach Report.
Businesses took a beating over the last couple of years as threat actors exploited every vulnerability they could find. This opened a massive cybersecurity gap that companies are scrambling to plug. Kaseya has been at the forefront of this fight against cybercriminals by helping companies with the right strategies, solutions and ideas to keep their business secure.
A number of Connect IT events are committed to cybersecurity topics as part of our efforts to help companies strengthen their security build. The White House Task Force, Stanford University and most of the cybersecurity faculty at FIU will offer cybersecurity training, workshops and certifications to give attendees a leg up against the bad guys.
