The Next Step in Global Meetings

Create a live, face-to-face meeting experience over the network. (3:16 min)

The Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security is a platform architecture that proactively protects assets, employees, and citizens through a scalable, tested network design. The architecture provides a more complete common operating picture, improves decision and response cycle times, and takes advantage of the network to expand the range and effectiveness of your emergency operations teams.

The platform takes advantage of a converged, IP network and:

  • Increases employee safety and security through emergency notification and early warning
  • Improves risk mitigation by facilitating continuity of operations (COOP), crisis management, all-hazards incident response, as well as facilities and critical infrastructure protection
  • Reduces cost of operations
  • Overcomes interoperability issues
