Public Safety and the Internet of Everything



The Challenge With reduced resources and constrained budgets, it’s more important than ever to find cost-effective solutions to keep citizens and public spaces safe. Government leaders are facing challenges such as:

Increasing cyber threats

Reduced resources and budget

Need for improved public safety

Protect sensitive information and data. Create security strategy that can adapt quickly to new threats. Protect before, during, and after attacks.

Lower costs. Increase officer and employee productivity and effectiveness. Improve operational efficiency.

Improve response times and situational awareness.

Enable real-time communications and access to information.

Reduce crime.

Improve emergency response.


What the Internet of Everything Means for Communities

People Connecting people in more relevant, valuable ways

Process Delivering the right information to the right person (or machine) at the right time

Things Connecting physical devices and objects to the Internet and each other for intelligent decision making

Data Leveraging data into more useful information for decision making

Key Internet of Everything (IoE) Impact Areas

Digital Transformation

Cities, states, and countries around the world are going digital to leverage the unprecedented opportunities brought about by the IoE.

By 2020, 75% of organizations will

be digital or will be preparing to

become digital.

The increasing digitization of government comes from the need to connect citizens and government in a secure and efficient way.
