Empowering businesses with affordable, all-in-one protection and 24/7 support
Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska — July 31, 2025 — Alasconnect, an Alaska-based managed IT and cybersecurity firm and a subsidiary of MTA, is expanding its commitment to local businesses by partnering with Cynet, a leading cybersecurity platform, to offer cost-effective breach protection for clients using Cynet’s All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform, backed by 24/7 security center support. The Alasconnect-Cynet alliance advances a shared commitment to ensure local businesses have the tools they need to stay safe in an increasingly complex digital world.
“At Alasconnect, we believe advanced cybersecurity shouldn’t be out of reach for any of the businesses that power our communities,” said Andrew Trotter, President at Alasconnect. “Through Alasconnect’s 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. It’s one more way we’re working to connect and protect Alaskans.”
With Cynet’s All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform, Alasconnect can now offer SME customers access to a full suite of protection features, including real-time threat detection, automated response, and expert support—without the need for large IT teams or multiple disconnected tools. Cynet’s platform earned top marks in an independent test for detecting and understanding cyber threats—catching 100% of the activity and proving itself as one of the most trusted and effective cybersecurity tools available today. From reducing manual work by up to 90% to providing easy access to expert guidance via Cynet’s CyOps team, the solution is built for busy teams that need peace of mind without sacrificing focus on their core mission.
“Working with a trusted partner like Alasconnect allows us to reach businesses that need cybersecurity most,” said Eyal Gruner, Founder & CEO of Cynet. “Together, we’re making enterprise-level protection accessible, affordable, and simple for companies that don’t have the luxury of big budgets or large security teams.”
This collaboration with Cynet is the latest step in the broader mission to use technology to enhance quality of life and economic opportunity across Alaska. By equipping businesses with cutting-edge tools, Alasconnect continues to help build a safer, smarter, and more connected future for the communities it serves.
