WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / December 3, 2024 / At this year's Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition, Disaster Tech's PRATUS™ platform aided in the safety and security of more than 40,000 attendees. Purpose-built to improve situational awareness and decision-making, PRATUS provided the AUSA security team with real-time insights to protect the conference, which attracted attendees from over 80 countries.
Before, during, and after the annual meeting and exposition, PRATUS provided support to the AUSA security team through:
In-person walk-through of the platform and its capabilities.
Live situational reporting, including real-time social media sentiment analysis and weather alert monitoring.
Incident management resources to streamline response efforts in the event of an incident.
A dedicated Microsoft Teams tenant enabling seamless real-time communication, collaboration, and intelligence sharing among team members.
The AUSA leadership team praised PRATUS's impact and versatility, voicing strong interest in leveraging its capabilities into broader event security strategies at home and abroad. Retired General Robert Brown, AUSA President and CEO, highlighted the impact of PRATUS, stating: "Disaster Tech's innovative software saves lives! I take the security of the 40,000 attendees at our annual meeting seriously, and the PRATUS platform provides the innovative, added layer of protection that we've been missing. I look forward to the chance to integrate it more fully into our security planning in the years to come."
Echoing the sentiment, Kevin Peterson, Director of Security at AUSA, said: "This year's event gave us an excellent introduction to PRATUS, a glimpse of its capabilities, and how to leverage them.
