Bio
William Forte - MCSE, CCNA-Security
Brian and I have worked together for over a decade on short and long term projects. He has been an invaluable asset in a number of areas during my time working with him. He’s one of the top go to resources when it comes to high level escalations, implementation of new technology, finding solutions to complex problems and mentoring. He has an excellent attitude during all situations and truly shows up to get the job done.

Brian is the type of person that can be the most technical person in the group but not hesitate to lean on the knowledge of others. Over the years we have worked together in many differing roles across a wide range of client industries. Brian's outreach and willingness to teach provided myself and others the path towards deep technical knowledge. As my role in cloud architecture and security grows, Brian is always lock step with me for certifications and knowledge. He does so while maintaining a strategic advisor role, skillfully navigating breadth and depth based on the situation at hand. Taking what he learns, Brian evaluates the knowledge for use as wide standards or valuable implementations in particular environments. Brian's approach to information security follows his experience with a practical and measured method. He provides a deep understanding of the process and technology to implement and maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
