security and secure wireless solutions, today announced that it is
expanding its presence in the Washington, DC area with new office space in

business development team, the new office is a direct result of the
company's continued growth in this marketplace.
"Fortress is steadily increasing our focus and presence in the government
space," said Janet Kumpu, President, Fortress. "Historically, we have
approached this market through a combination of sales associates
headquartered in Tampa as well as remotely located representatives in key

business and pipeline. However, we are now at the point where we require
additional 'feet on the street' in the Washington, DC area. We are excited
to announce our new location."
