How Brian is building a better working world
I work closely with pharmaceutical and biotech clients to help protect their data from nefarious threat actors. It’s so important that we understand the business of the business for our clients who are working on groundbreaking science and developing new disease treatment options. Working this way makes it easy to see tangible beneficial outcomes resulting from our efforts as cybersecurity and risk management professionals.
My daughter, Addie, is a brain tumor cancer survivor. Our family has experienced the life-saving impact of first-time medical advancements and groundbreaking treatments. The treatment plan that was developed for her is the basis of a clinical trial that’s now underway for patients with a similar illness.
I wake up every day thinking about how we can help our clients use data like this to develop future treatment options and protect it in a way that enables others to thrive in life, just as Addie has.
