Online Tech is in Columbus this month, speaking at the Columbus chapter of the international Security B-Sides conference series. The B-Sides event will be on January 20th, at Doctor’s Hospital West. Steven Aiello, our Senior Product Engineer, will be presenting on the intricacies of building a securable infrastructure. Online Tech will also be one of the sponsors for the event.
