Minneapolis (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 -- Innovative IT services firm MPC was awarded the 2013 Minnesota High Tech Association’s (MHTA) Tekne Award for Safety and Security (http://www.tekneawards.org).

The foundation of TRACE is built on cutting edge security technology and industry best practices governed by formal certifications.
"We are extremely proud to be recognized for this prestigious award,” said David Kutoff, MPC’s President and CEO, "Over the past two years, the MPC team has been dedicated to building this new service platform for our customers and their hard work has paid off. With growing awareness of the dangers associated with off-network IT equipment, customers are relying on us to eliminate those risks.”
