Public safety infrastructure is a constant high value target of cyber criminals with the value coming from its critical role in emergency communications and safety, as well as maintaining societal order and security.

PSAPs, law enforcement, emergency response, and critical infrastructure systems are more interconnected than ever through digital technologies, which also makes them vulnerable to cyber threats.

Cyber threat actors target the critical infrastructure and communication systems of these services to exploit vulnerabilities, disrupt operations, and potentially cause widespread chaos to gain notoriety or for financial purposes.

The high stakes associated with public safety infrastructure make it an attractive target for cybercriminals seeking significant impact and leverage. This creates an increasingly critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard these essential services and protect the communications, municipalities, states, national government, and citizens.
