Washington, D.C., September 18, 2024 – MorganFranklin Consulting, a leading cybersecurity and risk management advisory firm, today announced a strategic partnership with ThreatGEN, a pioneer in cybersecurity simulation and gamification-based training. This collaboration is set to significantly enhance MorganFranklin’s technology-enabled services by integrating cutting-edge cybersecurity training platforms that bolster organizational preparedness and response to cyber threats.

As part of the strategic partnership, Clint Bodungen, founder of ThreatGEN and a renowned leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, has joined MorganFranklin as the Director of Cybersecurity Innovation.
