Myth 11:
Proactive, real-time responsiveness in a crisis is impossible, there’s too much information to be efficient.
Myth Buster:
Visability’s Spaces and monitoring tool integrations streamline information delivery to any device, the moment of a critical event. Powered by the automated common operating picture, visability provides crucial intelligence precisely when and where needed, driving a faster response and resolution.
Speed of the Response Impacts the Overall Outcome
In any crisis—whether it’s a wildfire, traffic accident, or cyber-attack—response speed directly impacts the final outcome. Here’s why:
- The first five minutes of an emergency are critical. Timely action can mean the difference between life or death.
- Cybersecurity breaches evolve quickly. On average, it takes an independent cybercriminal only 9.5 hours to infiltrate a target’s network. For businesses, every minute lost provides hackers more time to cause significant harm. Shockingly it takes an average of 197 days to identify a breach has occurred, and 69 days to contain it!
- Every minute matters after a traffic accident. Every minute of traffic stoppage on a major highway becomes a mile of backup.
- Wildfires spread rapidly. Wildfires can move 14-60mph in strong winds, meaning a full square mile can be consumed in just minutes.
Visability: Transforming Crisis Response
No matter the incident, visability empowers command and control centers to respond faster than ever. When an incident occurs, all key decision makers receive an alert accompanied by a customized, real-time dynamic dashboard integrating the most relevant apps, cameras, and tools that inform you to take immediate action.
Critical data is automatically shared with team members and approved external agencies, ensuring everyone has the same up-to-date information to coordinate a Unified Response. With visability, your team is equipped with the most flexible, real-time insights to act decisively from the very first second.
Visability from Activu redefines what’s possible in emergency response, proving that speed, efficiency, and accuracy can go hand-in-hand.
