“Everbridge provides government agencies with the industry’s most scalable and reliable platform to rapidly respond to global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other critical events, while helping protect those who serve our nation each and every day,” said Mike Mostow, Vice President of Federal at Everbridge.

Everbridge recently announced its ongoing partnership with the U.S. Army to track and respond to the threat of COVID-19 across more than 400 locations in 70 Countries. Powered by Everbridge’s Risk Intelligence Monitoring Center, the Army’s Joint Analytic Real-Time Virtual Information Sharing System (JARVISS) helps to protect military personnel from the impact of the pandemic by giving the Army insight into its effect on global DoD operations.

Continued momentum in the Federal space follows Everbridge’s renewal of its Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Agency Authorization, which represents the federal government’s most rigorous security and risk management review process for cloud products and services. The FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) certifies that Everbridge meets the standards for the 325 controls in the FedRAMP Moderate baseline and passed the rigorous security and risk management renewal process required to support the operational resilience needs of federal agencies like the FCC.

The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. An independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress, the Commission is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America’s communications law and regulations.
