PHRONESIS SECURITY BOOSTS EXPERTISE WITH APPOINTMENT OF INFORMATION SECURITY AND CYBER VETERAN ERIC PINKERTON 


Leading Australian cyber security consultancy, Phronesis Security, is pleased to announce the appointment of Eric “Pinky” Pinkerton as their new cyber security consultant and Director of NSW.  With over three decades of experience in IT, Networking, Security Architecture and Network Security/Operations, Eric brings extensive expertise and leadership experience to the company.

Eric has provided information security advisory services for diverse industries such as state and federal Australian Government departments, critical infrastructure providers, private and public healthcare institutions, banking and finance, and the telecommunications and media sector. Throughout his career, he has delivered countless security consulting engagements, such as digital security and SOC uplift strategies for large state and federal government departments and provided countless incident response and crisis management simulation exercises, including how to respond following ransomware attacks.

Most recently, Eric has specialised in running tailored tabletop exercises to stress-test and uplift executive crisis management teams and their supporting systems and processes. He is also an active speaker on the cyber security circuit, having presented on various topics at several high-profile events, including the AISA Cybercon and many AusCert Conferences.

Eric Pinkerton said: “I have known and respected both Dan and Elliot for a long time, so the opportunity to work with them again in the fast-paced agile dynamic of a rapidly growing startup feels a lot like coming home. My passion has always been about helping clients solve wicked problems in innovative ways, and Phronesis is the perfect vehicle for me to do that.”

This strategic appointment is expected to have a significant impact on Phronesis Security's growth and success as they continue to provide outstanding cyber security solutions to their clients.
