Fortior Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in high-assurance identity management solutions, has shined in the fourth quarter of 2022, closing out the year with prestigious awards, accolades, and innovations. Fortior Solutions President and CEO Jim Robell was honored as Person of the Year for Platinum Level 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Industry Leadership & Innovation. In recognition of the company’s RAPIDGate® and RAPID-RCx® programs, the identity management powerhouse also received the Platinum level 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award from American Security Today (AST) for Best Access Control & Authentication Solution. These awards mark a time of extensive growth for Fortior — from its ongoing work screening against the FBI’s Cyber Most Wanted List to its campus and stadium access control management initiatives.
The prestigious Person of the Year award was presented to Robell at the annual ‘ASTORS’ awards event held in New York City at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on November 16th, 2022.
