Viya’s first TECH Talk of 2023 proved to be a hit, with a large audience of tech professionals from across the territory attending the presentation held at the Buccaneer Beach and Golf Resort in Christiansted, St. Croix on March 21. Viya, the US Virgin Islands’ leading telecommunications provider, partnered with global technology leader Fortinet to offer attendees valuable industry insights and solutions.

The TECH Talk focused on elements of Viya’s Business Solutions portfolio, which includes unified communications, connectivity, and mobile and leveraged assets implemented in an increasingly digital world. Fortinet’s cutting-edge security apparatus has been folded into Viya’s solutions suite, adding data and privacy protections to the service offering.

During the presentation, attendees learned about network security best practices, the current threat landscape, and emerging trends in cybersecurity. Fortinet’s security solutions were showcased as tools to protect businesses and organizations from cyber-attacks with Viya’s support.

“We are delighted to have partnered with Viya…during this insightful presentation,” said Jose Carlos Vazquez, Fortinet’s Major Account Manager. “We believe that ensuring maximum availability of a customers’ network is essential for any business or organization, and we are committed to sharing our knowledge and expertise with the USVI community.”

This is the second TECH Talk hosted by Viya, with a third scheduled for later in the year. Viya CEO Geraldine Pitt called the partnership with Fortinet an “excellent opportunity” to bring valuable industry and global insights and solutions to Viya’s customers and the broader USVI community.
