Ken Lamneck, president and CEO of Insight, remembers how difficult communication was on 9/11.

“So much has changed in the last 20 years, with technology having a profound impact on how we communicate and gather information. Think about the delays that occurred while alerting people to the attacks on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. We lacked a true connection to the world. The ubiquity of smartphones, social media and the cloud didn’t exist and news spread too slowly. Compare this to our last major crisis a year and a half ago and how resilient we’ve become. Organizations transitioned practically overnight to remote work and transacting digitally. Our channel plays a critical role in continuing to strengthen the world’s digital infrastructure, security and mobile communications, so we can stay ahead of new and evolving threats to our well-being.”
