Law Enforcement
Challenge

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) isn't just "designating" Fire Departments and EMS as critical infrastructure; they are categorized as the frontline of our national resilience. This isn't a mere designation—it's a stark recognition of their indispensable role.

Like law enforcement, these heroes depend on Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. These aren't just tools; they are the nervous system of emergency response, dictating how quickly help arrives when lives hang in the balance. Yet, these vital CAD systems are now explicit targets. They've been compromised, attacked, and crippled, not just by direct threats, but by insidious, indirect assaults.

This is an immediate, existential threat to public safety. Every second of delay, every disrupted call, puts lives at risk. We are beyond a moment for mere "consideration"; urgent, decisive action is paramount to fortify these indispensable services against collapse.

Solution

For our Fire Departments, EMS, and Law Enforcement, it is unacceptable that a cyber incident deny the call of duty. The threats crippling critical service networks often breach perimeters, then pivot laterally using your Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) as internal springboards for attack.

Only Claroty provides the decisive edge. We surface real-time, CPS-originated threat intelligence, empowering cyber teams to immediately neutralize threats that bypass initial defenses. This unparalleled capability doesn't just improve response; it forges robust Zero-Trust Architectures (ZTA) within departments and across agencies.
