Reactforce, a leading IT consulting and staffing firm, today announced it has joined the Arizona Technology Council (AZTC), the state's premier association for technology companies and professionals. Membership connects Reactforce with a statewide network of innovators, industry leaders, and policymakers working to grow Arizona's tech ecosystem.

The Arizona Technology Council serves as the state's technology trade association, representing companies across software, hardware, IT services, and emerging tech. Through advocacy, education, and community events, AZTC helps member organizations scale, connect with talent, and shape the policies that affect the industry.

"Joining the Arizona Technology Council is a natural next step for Reactforce as we continue to grow our presence in the state," said Shawn Davidson, Founder and President of Reactforce. "We're excited to connect with fellow technology leaders, contribute to the local talent pipeline, and be part of a community that's shaping the future of tech in Arizona."

As a member, Reactforce plans to participate in AZTC events, committees, and networking opportunities, while continuing to support Arizona businesses with its IT consulting and staffing services — helping organizations find the right technical talent and build high-performing teams.

Reactforce Announces AlertForce, a New Emergency Communication Platform for Business Continuity

Reactforce, a business resilience, cybersecurity, and consulting firm, today announced the upcoming release of AlertForce, a purpose-built emergency services and response communication platform designed to help organizations stay connected and coordinated during outages, cyber incidents, and other disruptions.

AlertForce is the product of years spent on the front lines of emergency response, business interruption management, cybersecurity incident response, and disaster recovery for some of the world's largest enterprises. Drawing on that direct, field-tested experience, Reactforce built AlertForce to solve a problem its own continuity professionals encountered repeatedly: when an outage or crisis hits, the ability to communicate quickly, clearly, and reliably is often the difference between a contained incident and a prolonged one.

"Every major incident we've responded to has taught us the same lesson: technology fails, but the need to communicate never does," said Shawn Davidson at Reactforce. "We built AlertForce because we were tired of watching organizations struggle to reach the right people, at the right time, through the right channel, during the moments that matter most. This isn't a communication tool built by software engineers guessing at the problem. It's built by the people who've lived it."

As organizations rush to adopt Artificial Intelligence, many are focused on productivity gains—but fewer are asking the harder questions about data privacy, cybersecurity, and risk.

What happens when employees upload sensitive company information into AI platforms? How is that data stored, used, and protected? Are organizations creating new security exposures without realizing it?

AI has tremendous potential, but it also introduces new challenges around governance, compliance, intellectual property protection, third-party risk, and cyber resilience. The organizations that succeed won't be the ones that adopt AI the fastest—they'll be the ones that implement it responsibly and securely.

Shawn Davidson, Founder of Reactforce, shares his perspective on the cybersecurity and data privacy implications of AI, and what business leaders should be doing today to protect their organizations while still embracing innovation.

The Canvas ransomware incident is another reminder that weak third-party security, exposed applications, poor vulnerability management, and immature security operations don’t just impact you, they impact every customer that trusted you with their data. SaaS companies need to get their act together.
