Berkowitz and Serrin Turner and associates Kirsten Caroline Lee and Nicolas Luongo have stepped in to defend SolarWinds, an IT management software company, and the company's former vice president of security and architecture Timothy G. Brown in a pending securities lawsuit. The suit, which pertains to a 2020 cyberattack known as 'SUNBURST' which compromised the IT systems of various SolarWinds customers, including U.S. government agencies, was filed Oct. 30 in New York Southern District Court by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
