Bio
Phil van der Linden
Bryan is the epitome of a cybersecurity professional and leader. While I worked with Bryan, he was successfully managing multiple cybersecurity teams around the globe, while also juggling sophisticated projects for over one hundred clients. Bryan regularly checked on his teams and provided useful insight about the strategic goals of the organization. Bryan's positive energy is contagious and he is able to get other excited about cybersecurity. I have fond memories of gathering threat intelligence and chasing APTs with Bryan. I am confident Bryan will continue to lead others to success and provide value to the organization he works for.
