TESTIMONIALS 

Eric Harper of SnapAV (audio file in mp3 format | 1:19 mins.)
Excerpt:
“More and more of the solutions we collectively provide are ‘connected’ – even more so as the COVID-19 pandemic has teleworking and teleschooling in the forefront. While this connectivity drives tremendous utility and value, we know that it also comes with risk from bad actors and simply lack of knowledge on what is being shared. We are proud to fund this landmark research and will leverage the findings and insights to help inform our privacy and cybersecurity strategies and roadmaps. If you are not already a sponsor I encourage you to join us on this important project.”

Excerpt:
“What we like about ASHB’s research approach is that through the lens of these landmark studies, they take a long hard look at these subjects, with a lot of in-depth analysis that we clearly endorse… There’s tremendous value for your sponsorship dollar and CES sees that, which is really why we’ve been a repeat custom of these landmark studies over many years.”
 – Steve  Koenig, Senior Director, Market Research, Consumer Technology Association
