GIVING BACK

Philanthropy at Our Core

TDI stresses the importance of giving back, bookending our core values with not only the desire to give but the commitment to do so. TDI’s philanthropic mission is thus inseparable from its business operations, a fact borne out by our actions. Since TDI’s conception, we have supported various local, national, and international communities, such as underprivileged child ren, veterans, humane societies, the less fortunate, and the Special Olympics, among many others.  To engage academia and grow future cyber leaders, we sponsor a cybersecurity fund and hackathons at universities. At TDI, we put our money where our mouth is and get involved, from academia to professional associations to philanthropic endeavors in our communities.
