American Marconi Wireless News - Fortified Health Security Acquires Latitude, Expands Cybersecurity Advisory Capabilities

This strategic move scaled Fortified's ability to deliver healthcare advisory and HITRUST services into their portfolio, and well as adds a Philadelphia office to better serve clients in the region.

The acquisition will bring Latitude under the Fortified Brand, using the singular name moving forward.

Latitude clients can expect the same teams and quality of service, with the added benefit of access to Fortified's broader cybersecurity resources.

"Latitude's healthcare-focus and mission aligned with ours, so it made sense to become one unified team," said Dan L. Dodson, CEO of Fortified Health Security. "This acquisition directly supports our mission to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of healthcare and our goal of simplifying cyber operations for providers so that they can continue to focus on patient care."

Mark Ferrari, CEO of Latitude, added, "This move enables Latitude clients to immediately access Fortified's broader suite of managed security services. Together, we can not only assess risk, but also implement the tools, monitoring, and support needed to act on those findings. That end-to-end capability is a real advantage for healthcare organizations."

Ferrari will oversee a new division within Fortified as VP, Risk and Governance Services, continuing to lead the former Latitude team and operations as Fortified provides clear updates, consistent delivery, and a structured path toward full alignment across teams and services.
