FIRST RESPONDERS

First responders are tasked with exchanging huge volumes of sensitive information during times of emergency.  When transmitting information concerning law enforcement activities, emergency response measures or private citizens medical records, security is paramount.

THE PROBLEM

• Separate emergency management communities exist within the federal government, states, counties, volunteer groups, and private sector organizations
• Emergency management agencies, hospitals, police departments, ambulance services, mobile intensive care units, public health organizations, and private healthcare providers each has resources and people with response capabilities that may be required in an emergency
• These first responders have disparate messaging systems deployed on different hardware and software platforms
• The identity and credentials of the user of these systems is established only within a response unit’s own network making secure communications outside the home network difficult, if not impossible
• Secure communications between different networks or domains needs to be established instantly and on an ad hoc basis in times of crisis.

THE SOLUTION
