Everbridge Safety Connection Wins 2018 Platinum Secure Campus Award

Campus Security and Life Safety Magazine Recognizes Safety Connection’s Innovative Ability to Quickly Locate and Communicate with Students, Employees and Residents during Critical Events

BURLINGTON, Mass., April 18, 2018 – Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and businesses running faster, today announced that Safety Connection™ received the 2018 “Platinum” distinction in this year’s Secure Campus Awards from Campus Security & Life Safety. The awards, which honor outstanding campus security services and products, were selected by an independent panel of judges from the security industry and handed out at ISC West 2018 in Las Vegas. “Campus security has been a real issue across the country lately, so it is great to see all the outstanding products and services that are available to the marketplace,” said President and Group Publisher of the Infrastructure Solutions Group of 1105 Media, Kevin O’Grady. “The range of innovation, design and usability in these products mirrors the importance of campus security for our schools, hospitals and facilities.” Safety Connection, a key application of the Everbridge Critical Event Management™ platform, is used by leading global organizations, universities and hospitals to keep mobile and traveling employees, students and staff safe and informed during critical events and business disruptions. Where traditional emergency notification and physical security solutions focus on an individual’s static home or work address, Safety Connection utilizes multiple methods to dynamically locate, notify and instruct individuals based upon where they actually are, or their travel destination. When deployed, security professionals can aggregate near real-time location data from multiple sources, including building access control systems and travel management systems to send notifications to individuals and employees who might be in dangerous situations, based on their dynamic “last known” or “expected” location. “Today, major corporations are facing the twin challenges of an increasingly unpredictable threat environment with an ever-increasing mobile work force,” said Everbridge CTO Imad Mouline.  “It is an honor to have Safety Connection recognized as a premier physical security and critical event management solution for businesses, airports, hospitals and colleges, helping to protect traveling employees, pinpointing the actual location of people on campuses amid an active shooter episode, systematically checking on the safety of field workers and security guards and expanding the geographies in which companies feel safe to operate.” About Everbridge Everbridge, Inc.
