State College, Pa., (April 16, 2020)—Mission Critical Partners (MCP), a leading public safety consulting and information technology (IT) support services firm, today announced the availability of its next-generation cybersecurity solution designed specifically for state and local public safety agencies. The suite of services, known as Mission-Critical NetPulse SecureSM, integrates best-of-breed cybersecurity features into one comprehensive solution designed to help such agencies reduce their vulnerabilities, defend against future attacks, and monitor and respond to security-related incidents confidently and quickly.Managing an effective cyber-defense strategy is an ongoing journey, not a one-time event. The NetPulse Secure architecture is based on industry standards and best practices—such as those suggested by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s Task Force on Optimal PSAP Architecture (TFOPA), National Emergency Number Association (NENA), National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Delivered in a technology-agnostic fashion, NetPulse Secure will help public safety agencies overcome the serious threat cyberattacks pose to any mission-critical communications network, a threat which is growing by the day.
The NetPulse Secure service offers the following features:
- 24 x 7 x 365 network monitoring, analysis and reporting for infrastructure and systems (e.g., computer-aided dispatch (CAD), call-handling equipment (CHE), Emergency Services Internet Protocol Networks (ESInets), fiber-optic networks)
- 24 x 7 x 365 monitoring for signs of compromised credentials tied to an agency’s email addresses
- Ongoing, on-demand cybersecurity education and awareness
- Multifactor authentication
