Business Wire
ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS – news) today announced that it
will be sponsoring the Triangle InfoSeCon 2019 Conference on
Friday, October 25, in Raleigh, NC, and in partnership with Okta,
presenting a breakout session on identity and access management. In
addition to its sponsorship of this premier event hosted by the
ISSA Raleigh Chapter, ePlus will be providing an unprecedented
educational opportunity for a group of middle school students and
their teachers by securing them full access to the show and all
presentations.
Coming at the tail end of its national CyberSmart educational
campaign on best practices in cyber security, ePlus’ breakout
session is entitled: Trust No One: The Power of Identity &
Access Management. The session will cover how a zero trust
security model provides organizational network access without
risking the exposure of important data and will take place at
4:10pm in Room 302A, Track 3.
In addition to the regular show attendees, seven middle school
students who are recent graduates of ePlus’ Girls Re-Imagining
Technology (GRIT) program from West Millbrook Magnet Middle School,
along with two of their teachers, will be in attendance. The GRIT
program exists to introduce diverse groups of middle school girls
to technology-focused career possibilities, with an emphasis on
cyber security and AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Working with ISSA, ePlus has arranged for the students to have
access to the full show and presentations in support of their
continued learning about cyber security issues and careers. They
will also have the privilege of attending “After Dark,” a hands-on
event where they will use programming skills to build various
styles of robots.
“We’re excited to be a part of InfoSeCon and especially to be
there with the talented group of young women who recently graduated
from our GRIT program,” said Lee Waskevich, Vice President,
Security Solutions at ePlus. “One of the biggest challenges our
industry is facing right now is a growing talent shortage. There is
also a well-acknowledged shortage of women in technology fields.
The GRIT program, which is helping to get girls interested in STEAM
and cyber security at an early age, will help address those
challenges. We’re proud to be leading the charge.”
