It was about -30°C, -40°C with the wind (that’s -22°F or -40°F with the wind), in Edmonton, Canada when PPM 2000’s Executive Director, Denis O’Sullivan, asked if I would be interested in going back to Melbourne.
The 23 hour travel itinerary was an easy yoke to bear to be back in Melbourne for +28°C (82°F) weather, to reconnect with clients who had become friends over the phone and to meet some of Australia’s influential security professionals at PPM’s Incident Management from Every Angle Conference.
Throughout the conference, PPM wanted to showcase the benefits of an Incident Management program and the role Perspective plays in that program. We wanted to talk about actionable intelligence and security ROI while, at the same time, learning everything we could about Australian corporate security departments and how we can better serve our Australian customers. Our goal was to bring together a small group of Australian and New Zealand security professionals (some who use Perspective, others who have IRIMS and others who have yet to explore Incident Management software) and to give this group, together with a group of representatives from PPM (including me!), the chance to focus for two days on Incident Management… from the basics to the use of leading edge technology. (And, yes, we also offered hands-on training!)
