In this "Another Mini-Brandt Rant" episode, Brandt and Will discuss the progress made in event accessibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has feels like it regressed. They highlight the importance of captioning services, which became more accessible and affordable with AI advancements. However, they note that these technologies have fallen out of favor as events returned to in-person formats, leaving behind some of the inclusivity gains made during the pandemic. The conversation emphasizes the broader benefits of accessibility features which can aid not just people with disabilities but frequently improve the event for the majority of attendees as well.Discussions Include:Progress and Regression in Accessibility: The hosts reflect on how COVID accelerated the adoption of accessibility technologies like captioning but lament that these practices have largely been abandoned in the return to in-person events.Technological Advancements: They discuss how AI has improved captioning services, making them more affordable and efficient, though still not as reliable as human transcription.Broader Benefits of Accessibility: The conversation highlights that features like captioning benefit a wide audience, including those with hearing difficulties, language barriers, or simply preferring visual aids.Future-Proofing Events: The hosts suggest investing in technologies that can capture and stream content from events, enhancing accessibility and providing valuable resources for attendees.Quotable Quotes:"I think one of the things that during COVID, we started to see, you know, every platform put in at least some basic level of captioning, whether it was auto-generated or otherwise." - Brandt Krueger"People with difficulty hearing would literally call these services 'craptioning' at the time because they were so bad." - Brandt Krueger"For the first time, a lot of people with accessibility issues felt like they were on even ground with all other attendees, right? Because we were all attending from our living rooms and our bedrooms." - Brandt Krueger"Like a lot of attendees, I might want to turn it on just because of the fact that like, you know, every once in a while there's a word I might miss." - Will Curran

As professional communicators, team leaders, change managers, and even project managers, we can often be tasked with managing events. Whether it's a CEO town hall, a conference, an expo, or anything in between, there's always some kind of event we will be called in to help organise, if not manage, entirely.Though that doesn't mean we know what we are doing. In fact, quite a few of us have no idea what we're doing, which is why event management professionals should be on your speed dial. Because how do you make sure the event you run gets the outcomes you want?

If you can prove you're the source, happy to attribute it to you from now on. Pretty confident that lil' nugget's been around for a while, and advanced metasearching doesn't attribute it to any one person. Happy to be wrong, though!

Continuing its global expansion plan, Integrity360 has acquired Nclose, a well-established and highly regarded cyber security services company operating out of both Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition comes on the back of the previously announced acquisition of Cape Town headquartered Grove Group in August 2024. Together with Nclose, Integrity360 resources in South Africa now total over 180 employees and will operate as a significant regional hub and global SOC (Security Operations Centre) location for the group serving both local and international customers. With the addition of Integrity360's new SOC in Madrid, which is coming on line during Q1 2025, the group will operate across six SOC locations, enabling the group to provide an ever-expanding multi lingual 24/7 capability for its comprehensive suite of managed services, including EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and MDR (Managed Detection and Response) solutions. Founded in 2006, Nclose has developed a reputation for service excellence amongst its customer base, which includes multiple leading South African and international businesses. Nclose provides a range of cyber security solutions, including consulting, a full suite of managed services for cyber infrastructure, MDR services and a select range of technology solutions from leading international cyber security vendors including CrowdStrike, Netskope, Tenable, McAfee, KnowBe4, Forcepoint and Sentinel One - all of which build on and are complementary to the group's existing relationships. Nclose adds approx. 150 customers, circa €18m to group revenues and approx. 125 employees, bringing the group on a 2024 pro forma basis to global revenues exceeding €150m, operating with a team of approx. 675 dedicated cyber security professionals. Continued innovation and demand for its services across EMEA will expand group revenues in 2025 across all territories. Significantly, Nclose also brings to the group "Cyberfire", an internally developed, innovative and complementary MDR platform which is ideally positioned for SME and mid-market organisations. Cyberfire will complement Integrity360's existing Gartner-recognised MDR service, which allows integration from multiple SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platforms, network and end-point technologies. Cyberfire focuses on identifying "the real alerts that matter" and doesn't require a third-party SIEM as the platform contains over 1,300 AI-enhanced individual detections to identify malicious activity. These detections are continuously expanded month on month, by an in-house detection engineering team, and which add to and are complementary to the group's existing capability. Cyberfire is also priced based on the number of end points and not data consumed, making it more attractive than many other solutions where costs can depend on volumes of data, something that is not always predictable and can present budgeting issues for organisations. Integrity360 will invest further in the CyberFire platform and make it available to its wider set of international customers across all territories over the coming months. Nclose customers will benefit from access to Integrity360's extensive and complementary cyber services portfolio encapsulating cyber risk and assurance, cyber security testing, incident response, infrastructure, PCI compliance, and a highly comprehensive range of cyber security managed services, including innovative XDR/MDR solutions. Integrity360's innovative range of services have been recognised four times in a Gartner market guide most recently as a Representative Vendor for the second year running in the Gartner guide for Managed Detection and Response services. Ian Brown, Executive Chairman at Integrity360 commented: "We are very excited to be welcoming the Nclose team to Integrity360. The journey they have been on since their formation in ...

ThreatQuotient was founded with the intention of making sure these disparate tools provide actionable information for federal agencies. During today's interview with Craig Mueller, he takes us through context, customization, and collaboration that is needed in all federal agencies. The net result is the reduction in false positives and automation of the intelligence lifecycle. Criag Mueller brings up a topic that is rarely covered—air gapped systems.  Because of their deep understanding of the intelligence community, ThreatQuotient can provide services to agencies that use air-gapped networks.

Managing a farmers market is just like managing a craft fair or fall festival, right? Yes. And no. There are similarities and there are big differences between coordinating vendors on a weekly basis and once a year. When experienced annual event managers Patricia and Brett Keller took over a local farmers market after the sudden departure of its founding manager, they learned a few things. Are you a large scale event coordinator thinking about taking on a farmers market, or a market manager planning an annual fundraiser? Listen in while they share those lessons, including:   • Ease into changes to an established market to avoid mutiny • Relationships are key to both kinds of events • A permit is a permit is a permit, right? Not always • Recruiting help once a year is different than weekly staffing   Today's episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by InTents, the National Farmers Market Conference.
