The PSN network will help deliver this by enabling blue light services to interconnect with each other on a common platform, removing substantial barriers in communications and data management.
A critical element of moving to PSN for this community is the assurance that information remains secure throughout the transition. Much blue light data is highly confidential and requires at least an IL3 level of security to be applied to it throughout its lifecycle.
This is where Thales can help. Information security and network security are two of our core capabilities. We have been delivering systems and architectures with security up to IL5 for defence and government for many years. We are one of the few suppliers able to offer a fully accredited IL3 PSN solution today with the option to increase this through the use of tunnelled gateways and additional hardware encryption systems. As the one of the world leaders in securing information for the finance industry throughout the world we fully understand both the importance of keeping the information secure with no impact on operational efficiencies.
