CTO, Global Governments & Critical Infrastructure, Forcepoint
George Kamis’ biggest achievement was the continued investment in the company’s leading, cross-domain solutions. Forcepoint meets the evolving NSA Raise the Bar requirements, and its products are more secure and interoperable than ever, he said.
“Our cross-domain solutions have always been effective at the enterprise level, and we’re now developing smaller, purpose-built cross-domain solutions to handle the tactical edge,” Kamis added.
