CVx Show Daily Day 2

1 0 CVx at ITEXPO I FEBRUARY 12 - 14, 2020 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 O ITVOIP, an OIT brand and partner-first VoIP provider, is continuing its ongoing partner- ship with a leading veteran job training orga- nization with its sponsorship of the TrainOurTroops booth (#1034) at ITEXPO. TrainOurTroops (ToT) is a not-for-profit organization that uses an online training model to help veterans and their spouses transition quickly into rewarding positions in the civilian workforce, improve skill sets needed to advance in their current careers and establish and grow veteran-owned startup business ventures. “ITEXPO is a fantastic chance for TrainOurTroops and OITVOIP to interface with a very significant market sector, as well as to increase awareness about the availability of veterans who are receiving cutting edge, job-specific training programs designed by TrainOurTroops and its corporate sponsors,” said Ray Orsini, CEO of OIT. OITVOIP’s involvement with ToT began with the hiring of nine-year Army veteran Sean Lardo as its vice president of partner development. “Through that process and working with ToT, we decided that OITVOIP wanted to become involved beyond just staffing; we wanted to make a larger impact,” said Orsini. “OITVOIP stands out in the industry because we ensure partner success – most OITVOIP resellers make a sale within the first month, which is far beyond the industry norm of up to a year. We view ToT as the ideal partner to help offer a simi- larly accelerated path to success for veterans and their families.” Orsini said that, too often, veterans and their families are stalled in low-paying jobs that under- utilize their potential. Even worse, vets find them- selves unemployed for extended periods with out- of-date skill sets. “ITEXPO represents the future of IT, and the dynamic nature of the communications and tech- nology sector,” he said. “It is a sector that offers exciting career opportunities. ToT is there to help veterans quickly develop the skills to succeed in fast- growing sectors such as ours.” “OITVOIP has been a great partner, and we are really appreciative of their commitment to help with our efforts in supporting veterans,” said Glen Bryn- teson, founder and president of ToT, a 501(c)3 non- profit organization. “Technology firms like OITVOIP are exactly the types of companies that help provide education, networking, skills to get veterans on the glidepath to career success.” p OITVOIP Brings TrainOurTroops to ITEXPO C ybersecurity services company High Wire Networks utilized its presence in Ft. Lauderdale to introduced Overwatch 24/7, the corner- stone of its Overwatch Managed Security Platform as a Service. Overwatch 24/7 combines X Detection & Response (XDR) technology with the Overwatch 24/7 security operation center (SOC) to cut through the noise and drill down on real threats. Unlike traditional security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, Over- watch 24/7 relies on comprehensive, perva- sive data collection, big-data processing and artificial intelligence to uncover relevant, actionable data for effective threat detection and response, said the company. “On one hand SIEM is great for central- izing security management, but on the other it generates a crushing volume of alarms — many of them false — for analysts to sift through,” said Phil Burnett, chief security information officer for High Wire Networks. “Overwatch 24/7 goes beyond SIEM, collecting data from all sources and using AI tools to return only high fidelity, scored attacks and anomalies that need attention.” “Overwatch 24/7 is the heart of the Overwatch Managed Security Plat- form, which we developed in response to requests from our longstanding MSP clients who were looking for help to simplify and scale delivery of enter- prise-level cybersecurity to their valued customers,” said High Wire president Mark Porter. “We’re excited to share the advan- tages of Overwatch 24/7 and our as-a- service platform with MSPs that are ready for cybersecurity simplified.” p A ireSpring announced that Melvin Frederick has joined the team as its newest senior solutions engi- neer, based in Atlanta, Ga. The addition further expands the reach and power of the solutions engineering team led by Mike Chase, senior vice president of solutions engineering.  Frederick has deep telecom and IT experience, including 18 years with Wind- stream Enterprise where he achieved President’s Club status and helped to close many of its largest multi-location customer accounts.
