Alasconnect and Cynet Join Forces to Enhance Cybersecurity for Alaskan SMEs

In an important move to bolster the cybersecurity defenses of small businesses in Alaska, Alasconnect has partnered with Cynet, a renowned provider of cybersecurity solutions. This collaboration aims to provide robust, affordable cybersecurity tools specifically designed for smaller enterprises that often face unique challenges in today’s evolving digital landscape.

Alasconnect, which operates as a managed IT and cybersecurity firm and is a subsidiary of the Matanuska Telecom Association (MTA), has been deeply committed to supporting local businesses in Alaska. With this new partnership, they are introducing Cynet's All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform. This platform offers an impressive array of features aimed at simplifying cyber protection—from real-time threat detection to automated responses, all underpinned by expert support available around the clock.

President Andrew Trotter of Alasconnect emphasized, “At Alasconnect, we believe that advanced cybersecurity shouldn't be out of reach for any of the businesses that power our communities. Through this 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.”

This strategic collaboration signifies a critical shift in how small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) approach cybersecurity. Traditionally, many SMEs have struggled with the complexities and high costs associated with implementing robust cybersecurity measures. Thanks to Cynet's platform, Alasconnect can now extend essential protection features to its clients without necessitating extensive IT resources or diverse, disconnected tools.

In a recent evaluation conducted by MITRE ATTCK, Cynet made history as the only security vendor to achieve perfect marks—100% in both Protection and Detection Visibility—demonstrating its efficacy in threat management without false positives or the need for complex configurations. This is particularly significant for small businesses that may lack the staffing to manage intricate cybersecurity systems.

Moreover, Cynet's solution has the capacity to reduce manual intervention by up to 90%, allowing businesses to focus on their primary objectives. The inclusion of Cynet’s CyOps team also means SMEs can access expert guidance seamlessly, enhancing their ability to respond to and thwart cyber threats swiftly.

Jason Magee, CEO of Cynet, expressed his enthusiasm regarding this new partnership by stating, “It's rewarding that Alasconnect selected Cynet to strengthen their cybersecurity stack. We're excited to welcome them into our partner ecosystem to protect Alaskan businesses and communities where cybersecurity is truly needed.”

Through this partnership, Alasconnect and Cynet aim not only to enhance cybersecurity but also to facilitate a safer, smarter, and more technology-driven future for Alaska's economy. The collaboration is consistent with Alasconnect's overarching mission to use advanced technology to improve the quality of life and economic opportunities across Alaska. By providing local businesses with cutting-edge tools, Alasconnect plays an essential role in creating a connected and resilient community.
