“Hack & Counter: A Live Cyber Showdown” Offers a Real-World Look at Today’s Cyber Threats and How They’re Stopped
Syracuse, NY, April 9, 2026 — ACC Technical Services, Inc. (ACC), a Central New York–based, security first managed services and IT solutions provider, will host an interactive cybersecurity Lunch & Learn for organizations across Syracuse and the surrounding areas.
Titled Hack & Counter: A Live Cyber Showdown, the event delivers a real-world, inside look at how modern cyberattacks unfold and how today’s threats are detected, contained, and stopped. The event will take place Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 12:00–2:00 PM at the INSPYRE Innovation Hub in Syracuse. There is no cost to attend, and all attendees will receive a complimentary IT assessment, enjoy a catered lunch, and be entered to win one of three prizes.
Designed to deliver both education and actionable insight, this eye-opening Lunch & Learn is ideal for business leaders, IT teams, and anyone responsible for protecting their organization’s systems, data, and reputation.
The event includes:
• Real-world attack techniques discussed by Hacket Cyber
• Detection, containment, and response insights from Blackpoint Cyber
• An expert led panel discussion
• An interactive Q&A with presenters from Hacket, Blackpoint, and ACC
“Cyber threats continue to evolve, and many organizations don’t fully understand what an attack looks like until it’s already happening,” said Mike Rost, president, ACC. “This event pulls back the curtain—showing how attacks occur, how they’re stopped, and what defences organizations need to stay protected.”
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of today’s most pressing cyber risks and the strategies required to defend against them. Seating is limited and registration is required: www.acctek.com/lunch-learn.

We support both end clients and trusted partners, including white-label engagements, while maintaining the same standard of professionalism and quality across every project.
