The FortiTech team joined a host of other IT Professionals and business owners at the IT Connect conference hosted by leading software company, Kaseya.
Bringing together vendors including WatchGuard, Bitdefender and Webroot, the conference showcased the latest trends in tools for Managed
Service Providers.
With interactive sessions and training certification courses running for the duration of the conference, the team picked up some great
learnings that we can use to help solve the technology challenges of our clients, we are excited to start incorporating these into our
service offerings, including even more advanced Dark Web scanning for lost credentials.
