Optimizing Resources, Shrinking Losses—
Perspective at Microsoft Global Security
“Perspective makes it easy to collect, access and track data. When an incident occurs, the data goes in, and we immediately have access to the information we need to make mission critical decisions.”
—Brian Tuskan, Senior Director of Global Security Technology & Investigations, Microsoft Corporation
The fact that Microsoft Global Security uses Perspective gives everyone at PPM an incredible sense of pride and accomplishment. We recognize that they are diligent in their review of software vendors and have high expectations for the latest technology and ongoing enhancements. We are also proud of what they’ve been able to do with Perspective and, ultimately, the incidents it has helped them prevent—“By trending with Perspective, we changed our security approach and cut laptop thefts in half.”

I am in Redmond to meet a prospective client at Microsoft’s Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) for a tour of its facility. Like many clients before, we are here to discuss PPM 2000’s incident and investigation management application, Perspective, and how it is used by Microsoft.
We are led to a boardroom, and as the presentation begins, I am surprised to hear that Microsoft has used only “off-the-shelf” products to construct one of the most sophisticated corporate security operations centers in the world. Several of the application components are Microsoft products, but they also use a handful of carefully selected third party applications to protect the enterprise, including Perspective by PPM 2000.
