Public Safety

Technologies that ensure safety and security of public, critical infrastructure and cities

Where is Public Safety heading?

Public safety is at the heart of any country, organisation or city’s aspiration. This means implementing cutting-edge security systems which aim to predict and respond to incidents keeping citizens and critical infrastructure safe. There are three critical domains of public safety - border control and security, policing and law enforcement and fire and emergency services. These domains intertwine and coordinate with each other through technology-enabled services, seamless operations and timely response foundationally enabled by a central intelligent hub in command and control centres.

In the Middle East, physical security has moved from traditional out-of-the-box solutions to customised cognitive product offerings. Innovation led by regional customers is shaping products across the security ecosystem such as 5K cameras with inbuilt self-learning analytics, drone based crowd management, VR based Command center, AI based screening systems and other emerging technologies.

Public Safety domains

Border control and security is a critical domain into achieving safety for the public. The use of emerging cognitive technology, and the evolution of risks and threats all support in the protection of country borders and the prevention of border threats that may compromise national security.

Policing and law enforcement is in the heart of Public Safety. Through advanced policing and law enforcement cognitive technologies and strategic plans, public safety will be accomplished. We support in offering a connected safe city by enabling strong competencies, mission critical communications, and advanced systems to prevent crimes and maintain order.

Emergencies are inevitable all over the world, therefore it is crucial to have speedy response in case of any disruption in our daily lives. We support in managing critical communications design, SOPs, and operating model which will help to mitigate dangerous risks such as fires, natural disasters, and crises that may disrupt the public’s lives to ensure safety for the public.
