In today’s threat landscape, cybersecurity must be a priority, not an option, to protect critical communications.

Between legacy equipment, lack of funding for resources and staffing, and vulnerable endpoints, cyber criminals have a multitude of ways to attack PSAPs, from denial-of-service attacks, phishing that can lead ransomware, encryption, data theft and exfiltration, and more.

Cyber protection for PSAPs and critical communications has never been more vital, for the workers, their communities and the lives they save. These networks are relied upon far and wide and are too critical to face cyber attacks without help.
