This past weekend, the roar of engines wasn’t the only thing making noise at the Grand Prix of Portland. We were proud to host another Juncos Hollinger Racing weekend with our co-hosts, Pax8, that combined the thrill of IndyCar with cutting-edge technology and a ton of fun for all attendees.

A Secure and Seamless Wi-Fi Experience

In a world where staying connected is more important than ever, we ensured that anyone visiting the Juncos Hollinger Racing tent had access to a secure and reliable Wi-Fi connection. Thanks to the powerful combination of DNSFilter and eero, guests could share their experiences, stream live updates, and stay in touch without worrying about online threats.

Meet Dog: The Weekend's Furry Celebrity

I was joined for the weekend by my adorable pup, Dog. He loved that I brought him along for the fun and was excited to watch the race. Dog was a hit with the crowd too, offering a furry distraction from the high-speed drama on the track. He even got his own meet and greet with Romain Grosjean!

Welcoming MSPs to the Fast Lane

The Grand Prix of Portland also provided an excellent opportunity for us to connect with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in attendance. As key partners in our business, these professionals had the chance to see firsthand how DNSFilter’s solutions can provide top-notch security, even in dynamic and demanding environments like a race weekend. The event offered a unique setting to discuss the future of cybersecurity and how we can continue to support MSPs in delivering the best services to their clients.

Exclusive Romain Grosjean Hat Giveaway

No race weekend would be complete without some exclusive merchandise, and we were thrilled to offer fans a chance to take home a piece of the action. We hosted a giveaway of Romain Grosjean hats and they were all gone in under a minute! The excitement was palpable as Romain Grosjean fans eagerly lined up to get their hands on this special memorabilia, adding a tangible keepsake to their Grand Prix memories.

Check out the highlights:

“Big thank you to the DNSFilter team, Alina and Brian (and all those that help make events like this happen). This was one of the best events I have been to and I speak with some authority on this area. And of course a shout out to Mike and Isaiah from Pax8 for being just about the best partners we could ask for. And I would be remiss if I didn’t say thank you to everyone who attended and made it such an awesome group activity. Everything is better when you can share it with good company. Except ice cream. That's just for me…” — William

The Grand Prix of Portland was more than just a race—it was a celebration of speed, technology, and community. We’re proud to have been part of such an electrifying event, bringing together the best of IndyCar, cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and the warmth of shared experiences. Whether it was through secure Wi-Fi, a dog named Dog, meaningful MSP connections, or coveted giveaways, we’re already looking forward to the next lap in our partnership with Juncos Hollinger Racing. See you at the next race!

2025 Cybersecurity Predictions: It’s Not Just AI, Here’s How Cybersecurity Will be Transformed in 2025

Earlier this month I joined Mikey Pruitt, our Global Partner Evangelist, on the DNSFilter podcast dnsUNFILTERED to discuss my 2025 cybersecurity predictions. We had a lot of fun and covered all of the points I’ll outline here, but I wanted to go deeper. My 30 years of cybersecurity experience have given me a strong sense of where we’re heading as an industry—the shift to the cloud in many ways is a precursor in the adoption of AI and the future...

From Reactive to Proactive: How to Create a DNS Security Strategy that Stops Attacks

Most businesses only think about DNS security after an attack has already occurred. By then, the damage is done - downtime, lost revenue, compromised data, and a tarnished reputation. In an environment where cyber threats are constantly evolving, a reactive approach to DNS security simply isn’t enough.

How MSPs Can Enhance Customer Experience with Technology

Customer experience is the secret sauce that sets successful Managed Service Providers (MSPs) apart from the rest. In a market teeming with competition, you need to offer more than the best technology or the lowest prices. It's about how clients feel when they interact with your services. A stellar customer experience can transform a one-time client into a loyal advocate, while a poor one can send them running to your competitors. According to a ...
