    Today I had the pleasure of addressing US State and Federal cross departmental emergency managers and agency leaders on US election security with our friends at Esri and DVG. We’ve already witnessed what we’re up against to ensure the safety of voters and politicians alike. Here is what we hit on: Establishing ground truth with samdesk to ensure government agencies have fast and accurate information to drive effective decision making in rapidly evolving situations. Leveraging AI AND cross departmental collaboration to combat disinfo and online rhetoric that can lead to physical events. Carl Walter and the DVG team demonstrated a new solution built for rapid ingest and dissemination of election threat and disruption related information. Mike Sena, briefed us on the history and vision of his crucial work to bring together fusion centers across the nation for rapid information sharing and collaboration. Huge thanks to Mike, Carl and the Esri team for the efforts in this space at such a crucial time. #esriUC

    CBC/Radio-Canada’s Radio Active recently featured an interview with our CEO and Founder, James Neufeld, to discuss how samdesk's AI-powered and analyst-backed crisis alerting platform is helping both private companies and defense entities bridge the gap between incident awareness and response. Here’s a peek at the vital intelligence James shared: 1️⃣ Our AI identifies patterns within vast amounts of unstructured data, alerting clients to the earliest signs of disruption. 2️⃣ With samdesk, the delta between occurrence and awareness is incredibly short – typically issuing an alert within just three minutes (❗) of an incident occurring. 3️⃣ Our Real-Time Coverage team of human analysts works in tandem with the AI, ensuring alerts are not only swift but also accurate, making them immediately actionable.

    With over 15 million visitors expected at the Olympic Games in Paris from July 26 - August 11, unique security challenges are inevitable. Relatively minor issues like a police investigation of a suspicious package can quickly escalate to more severe responses such as metro station closures and evacuations. Real-time incident detection and ongoing updates are invaluable during these kinds of large-scale events. Samdesk Real-Time Coverage analyst, Nicolas Lepchuk, explains why 📽️ 👇 #Olympics2024 #PublicSafety #SecurityProfessionals

    To stay ahead of disruptions and dangerous situations, it's essential to have robust systems, tools, and procedures in place. A reactive approach can leave an organization playing catch-up, scrambling to deal with problems after they have already happened. DoorDash is a shining example of a team that knows how to stay ahead of bad situations and get the best possible outcome when things go wrong.
