Overview

April 30

Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in 911 networks continue to evolve to an IP-based architecture for NextGen 911 to provide more benefits and safety for citizens, especially those with disabilities. The ability to accept information in text, images or video – in addition to voice – at a PSAP creates an expanding cyber-attack surface. These new attack vectors were not previously a concern with standard voice-based telephone networks.

Please join Government Technology on April 30 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern for our latest webinar, “Securing PSAPs in the Age of NextGen 911,” as our panel of experts – with details from the Department of Homeland Security – discusses why understanding the risks and associated benefits of NextGen 911 is critical to public safety.

Hear top security concerns around PSAPs and NextGen 911
Understand the importance of protecting networks, assets, databases and services involved with the processing, storage and transport of data in NextGen 911 systems
Learn how best to address these concerns and risks
