Engagement

Tech Data is excited to offer the Cyber Range facility as a way for individuals to “feel and touch” cybersecurity and learn how crucial it is for companies to invest appropriately in their cyber defense. While many cyber services such as training courses and demonstrations of technology will be available remotely, engagement in the physical Cyber Range room will be available as well.

For those who visit, they will have access to a variety of cyber challenges to test their skills and compete with others in the room. We will also host many types of events at the Cyber Range such as workshops, seminars, certification study groups and vendor or partner hosted events.

If you are a Tech Data Vendor or a Partner and would like to schedule an event for your customers, please email TDCR-Staff@techdata.com .

Services

As partners struggle to find qualified cybersecurity engineers who can install security software, design security defensive architectures, configure complex firewalls and Security Information and Event Management systems, Tech Data has invested in these specialized skill-sets to ensure our partners are prepared to deploy technology quickly and efficiently.

Tech Data has invested in both consulting services and managed security services which are available to our partners after a project scoping call and development of a detailed Statement of Work.
