Everbridge Safety Connection™ helps businesses and organizations quickly locate and communicate with their people. Part of Everbridge’s enterprise platform and suite of applications, the solution aggregates geo-location data from multiple systems so you can reach out to those who are potentially at risk (employees, contractors, visitors). The integration of Safety Connection and Lenel OnGuard combines real-time assessment and notification of critical safety information with physical security capabilities. The integrated solution collects, assesses and responds to events from Lenel OnGuard and external data inputs to provide users with a global view of potential threats to their workforce. Safety Connection is currently certified for Lenel OnGuard 7.0 and higher.

“Physical security has principally focused on securing buildings, but the real goal is to secure the people within the buildings,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “With so many employees traveling and working remotely, chief security officers have informed us they need a better way to know where their people are in order to help keep them safe and communicate with them anywhere in the world. That is what Safety Connection is designed to do.” 

Everbridge Safety Connection combines automated workflow processes with dynamically updated location data down to the airport, street, building, floor or conference room level which can be aggregated from multiple sources, including:

  • Access control and badging systems, such as magnetic card readers or badges for building entry
  • Wired and wireless network access points
  • Travel information, including corporate travel management and office hoteling systems

Whether it’s to notify traveling employees about a terrorist attack in an international location, deliver “shelter in place” instructions to employees in specific buildings during an active shooter event, or develop real-time employee rosters for building evacuations and mustering purposes, Everbridge Safety Connection enables automated location-based outreach via SMS text, voice, mobile app, digital signage or desktop alerts.

“Everbridge supports our global security team by integrating dynamic employee location information from our building access controls and travel systems with the Everbridge critical communications platform,” said Brian Phillips, Global Security Manager, Alexion Pharmaceuticals. “This enhances our ability to take accountability for our employees’ safety and enables us to reach them on their preferred device with the most relevant information during local or international emergencies.”

Features of Safety Connection include:

  •  Identification of contacts and their last known location
  • Integration with wireless access points, including a connector for Cisco Meraki
  • Physical access control connectors to systems such as: S2 (available today); Lenel (expected in 2016); Tyco (expected in 2016)
  • Open SFTP access to include custom datasets with last known location information
  • 3-in-1 Mobile Panic Button application available on iOS and Android that allows employees, residents, and other users to immediately send a panic message to their security team, sharing their current location. The panic button features the ability to send audio and video content, check-in to capture and report geo-location data, and provide tracking information while traveling through an unsafe area that will trigger a panic message if something abnormal occurs.

Safety Connection works in concert with the Everbridge automated notification platform, which reliably sent over one billion notifications in 2015 and was designed to comply with strict security standards, including NIST 800-53.
