IN AN AGE where theft isn ’ t just of physical goods but of data , and criminals don ’ t just break into buildings but into digital ecosystems , security threats are becoming much harder and more complex to manage . Throw natural disasters and terror attacks into the mix , and 21st century security is about managing the unpredictable at an ever-increasing pace . Critical event management company Everbridge helps governments and business not only react to , but also prepare for and anticipate such threats . We caught up with Javier

Colado , SVP of International Sales at Everbridge , to find out how the business takes care of companies and incidents of every shape and size , and where it plans to go next . Colado has worked with several global businesses like McAfee and SAP and as such is well-placed to head up Everbridge ’ s journey in an increasingly connected world . “ I chose to come to Everbridge for two reasons : firstly , it ’ s unique in the market as our solutions help keep people safe and can even save lives ; secondly , there is huge potential for us to grow out of the USA ,” he explains .
