FTI Consulting, Inc. announces the appointment of three professionals to its Cybersecurity practice, continuing the firm’s global investment in its capabilities to help companies, law firms and governments with proactive and reactive cybersecurity measures.
The new appointments include Nathan Mousselli, who joins as a Managing Director in New York, Chris Pluhar, who joins as a Senior Director in Los Angeles, and Dawit Kim, who joins as a Director in Singapore. Collectively, the experience of this group will enhance the incident response and complex investigations capabilities of the Cybersecurity practice.
FTI Consulting’s investment in its global Cybersecurity practice comes as cybersecurity remains a top concern for more organizations. Recent cyber attacks launched by nation-state actors have compromised supply-chain vendors and software providers, carrying global implications. These incidents demonstrate the potential damaging consequences to unprepared organizations.
“We are pleased to welcome Nathan, Chris and Dawit to our growing Cybersecurity team at a time when complex cyber challenges remain a top priority at every organization,” said Anthony J. Ferrante, Global Head of Cybersecurity at FTI Consulting. “Over a year after the start of the pandemic, the nature of remote work and the increased use of technology has created an increased cyber attack surface, making these three hires critical to enhancing our ability to help our clients across the globe navigate through these turbulent times.”
