NEXT‑GEN 911 SYSTEMS NEED NEXT‑GEN CYBERSECURITy

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting emergency response networks across the U.S., including 911 dispatch systems. Recent attacks have shut down call centers and forced agencies to revert to pen‑and‑paper operations — a warning sign as counties transition to NG911 systems that carry voice, video, text, and data over IP networks.

Fortinet’s Security Fabric is uniquely equipped to defend Next‑Gen 911 environments. With features like MSRP (Message Session Relay Protocol) decoding, deep SIP inspection, and AI‑driven threat intelligence, Fortinet helps PSAPs and agencies block malware, ransomware, and DoS attacks before they disrupt critical services.
