Brian Fuller, Senior Security Manager, BearingPoint Public Sector

Agencies should build an IT security program that considers both risk and investment returns across the enterprise. Using a comprehensive framework such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) will ensure that each dollar spent on security will garner not only compliance with a valuable standard, but also reduce the organizations exposure to financial, reputation, legal, and operational risks.

Mr. Fuller has nearly 10 years of Federal, State, Intelligence and Commercial sector experience managing Technology, Risk Management, and Enterprise Security initiatives. He is currently responsible for the strategy & direction of solutions and services for the BearingPoint Public Sector Security Group.
