Information is the lifeblood of business.  Every business needs security measures to protect that information from being compromised or stolen.  Security doesn't just mean protecting proprietary intellectual property, but more importantly, customers’ information. All it takes is one successful attack or security breach that puts such information at risk. As a result, businesses of all sizes around the world have to protect against the loss of critical information.

That's where Alternative Technology comes in.  Alternative Technology, an Arrow Electronics company, offers security services and solutions, ranging from risk and vulnerability assessments to hardware and software tools that protect networks, stop data leaks, flag suspicious activity, and prevent unauthorized entry into buildings and spaces where computers are located.

Alternative Technology also offers the services of consultants who are recognized industry experts. It assesses not just the client's physical plant and IT infrastructure security, but also  employee practices, such as using weak passwords or leaving computers unattended, that may inadvertently lead to security breaches.

"We address all levels of complexity.  We have programs to train and bring aboard every reseller that wants to participate in the security business and make them an indispensable, trusted advisor to their customers," said William Botti, president of Alternative Technology. 

Resellers who may not be able to dedicate personnel to the security business can enlist Alternative Technology’s experts to go in as part of the reseller's team and provide solutions for their customers.
