Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- Minneapolis-based IT reseller Vibrant Technologies will draw Interop Las Vegas 2007 conference attendees to their booth by offering one-on-one demonstrations on spotting counterfeit Cisco networking hardware.

Counterfeit Cisco (http://www.vibrant.com/about/counterfeit-cisco.php) hardware has become a serious problem in the IT industry, and hardware resellers are required to know the difference between the genuine routers and switches from the impostors. However, fake hardware creators are learning adapt to suspecting customers, creating believable packaging and equipment that often dupes even the most experienced user.

In response to the growing concern surrounding the topic, Vibrant Technologies (http://www.vibrant.com/cisco-networking-hardware.php) is seizing opportunities to share knowledge and help combat the problem. "I'm excited to share these counterfeit tells with Cisco users so that they're not only aware of the issue, but equipped to stop it from spreading," said Corey Donovan, Vice President of Vibrant Technologies. "I realize that we're sharing sensitive information, but we're also taking measures to do so privately and only to qualified users so that we're not sending counter-intelligence to the bad guys."
