They Each Use the Orion Push-to-Talk 2.0 for Security Operations.

Orion helps teams across industries with frontline operations. But there is often a common need that spans all these industries: Security.

Keeping people and property safe is mission-critical for every business, and for many of today’s enterprise organizations, this requires a physical security and executive protection team. These teams face the typical communications challenges that result from a distributed, on-the-go workforce. They require a particular set of solutions that meet their distinct operational needs, support efficiency, effectiveness and safety, and enable each team member to stay heads up and alert.

Where in the past, many of these teams relied on legacy radios, now they’re searching for something new and innovative. Physical security operations have realized they need a sophisticated communications solution that helps them stay ahead of bad actors and threats. Outdated radios or limited push-to-talk (PTT) applications that lose range and lack AI voice automations no longer fit the bill.

This is why many of our security customers have turned to Orion.

Security Magazine Features Orion on the Benefits of Voice-First Communications for Security Teams

Today’s elevated threat landscape requires security leaders to know their teams are always prepared for urgent situations. Reliable, innovative technology plays a crucial role in ensuring operations can meet the demands of any crisis. The right tech stack for security operations includes communications and collaboration technology built to support emergency response and routine procedures.

So how do security leaders know they’ve deployed the best communications technology for their team?

Improving Security Communications with Push-to-Talk 2.0

In an article recently published in Security Magazine, Orion’s Roopa Misra shared why security operations urgently need to adopt effective communications tools:

“One of the most significant risks in the security industry is relying on limited communications technologies like radios or simple first-generation push-to-talk (PTT) apps. Each lacks the innovations of today’s intelligent solutions and cannot meet the full requirements of an enterprise-ready solution. Security Operations Centers (SOC) still struggle to communicate with personnel in the field, and teams in the field struggle to communicate with each other.”

Security guards, dispatchers, armed incident response teams, executive protection teams, and SOC analysts cannot properly do their jobs without effective communication. So, what’s the solution? Push-to-Talk (PTT) 2.0.

Misra explains:

“PTT 2.0 is the modern, intelligent solution to transform how security teams communicate and respond to today’s threats. All physical security personnel can benefit from improved communications. With PTT 2.0, physical security and executive protection teams will be prepared to meet their evolving communication and collaboration requirements for years to come.”

Discover How to Digitally Transform Physical Security Operations

Today’s physical security landscape poses challenges to effective communication and incident response. Distributed personnel working in dynamic conditions often lose connectivity to their teams or Global Security Operations Center (GSOC). Switching between too many devices like radios, phones, desktops, or apps like WhatsApp fragment the complete view of operations. Security communications solutions also often lack full functionality to meet communications needs or do not meet data encryption standards.

Too many physical security teams have yet to address these problems, hindering their ability to protect against modern threats. In fact, a recent Orion survey of physical security professionals found that 44% of security teams are not satisfied with their communications solutions.

In order to keep people and property safe, security teams must adopt a complete platform that automates incident response, supports inter-departmental communications during critical situations, doesn’t lose contact as separation distance increases, provides real-time visibility, and simplifies after-action reporting so teams can focus on response, not reporting.

Security Magazine recently hosted a webinar on these challenges and the future of communications for physical security operations, featuring Orion Co-Founder and Advisor Greg Albrecht and Vice President of Channels and Partnerships Mort Jensen.

Top 4 Takeaways from DoDIIS 2021

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) recently convened its annual Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) Worldwide Conference in Phoenix. The discussion centered on the urgent need to prepare the government’s technological infrastructure to meet new challenges in the years ahead.

We heard how frontline communication is a critical component of this infrastructure. In today’s landscape, this means that not just any push-to-talk (PTT) solution will do for government operations.

Planning for the Future of Government Field Operations

Before we even built the Orion platform, we were compelled by the complex and dynamic needs of government agencies. We reevaluated push-to-talk and built a platform that moved beyond the limitations pervasive across the communications industry. Orion didn’t just build another push-to-talk platform, we radically modernized communications and architected our PTT 2.0 platform with the Intelligence Community in mind.

Our commitment to innovating frontline communications aligns with Defense and Intelligence community directives that were front and center at DoDIIS 2021. Here are our top four takeaways on the future of field communications within intelligence and defense, including details on the critical role of Orion’s PTT 2.0 in making this future available today:

#1: End-to-End Encryption and Data Security Are Paramount to Frontline Communication Technology

Today’s Defense and Intelligence teams need technology to help them act faster and smarter, but they cannot compromise on security and encryption. In fact, it’s imperative that any technology used by the Intelligence Community exceeds the pace of cyber threat developments.

Orion’s end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is built into the very fabric of Orion’s platform. No other push-to-talk (PTT) platform offers this level of foundational security. Instead, inferior PTT solutions have attempted to find security workarounds after entering the market. The reality is that after-the-fact patches lack proper E2EE protocols and are not suitable to support government operations today or in the future.

Defense and Intelligence field teams are able to confidently rely on Orion’s platform knowing its security complies with the highest levels by the federal government. Teams securely communicate on the go on any device, with voice, text, photos, videos, and files such as PDFs. Each message is end-to-end encrypted using AES-256 with ephemeral keys and is compliant with the FIPS 140-2 standard which protects proprietary and sensitive information and communications. In addition to public cloud deployments, the Orion platform supports private cloud deployments as well as on-premise or air-gapped.

Learn about Orion’s end-to-end encryption.

#2: Frontline Technology Should Help Field Teams Do More With Less

Orion’s Push-to-Talk 2.0 (PTT 2.0) radically transforms communications with Voice AI Bots and platform integrations. Orion’s patented Voice Bots participate in talk groups and provide cutting-edge, innovative solutions to help frontline government operations do more with less.

These bots enable teams to offload routine processes triggered by voice commands, events, or actions. Team members also use voice commands to activate third-party integrations and access value-added services like real-time language translation and transcription.

Orion Voice Bots also perform complex, multi-step workflows. Take the example of an emergency alert. Voice-commands like “Code Blue” start an escalation that sends an email or SMS, an audio recording, and geolocation information to predetermined team members, kicking off rapid and targeted responses to any emergency that arises. Geofences or inactivity for a set amount of time can also trigger emergency response workflows.

Learn about Orion’s Voice AI Bots.

#3: Communications Should Interoperate with Field Team and Government Technology

Government technology ecosystems contain vast data stores critical to successful missions. At DoDIIS, Intelligence and Defense experts expressed that how desked and deskless teams access that information will be a critical component of building the right tech stack to take on the future. One “how” that is often overlooked is voice.

Orion’s secure platform offers seamless accessibility and gives voice to government systems by integrating with third-party technology. Teams use voice to access critical information while remaining heads up and aware. Team members easily amplify their knowledge by connecting to systems or obtaining best-practice manuals, guides, or mission information right from the field and on-demand.

Orion’s patented API layer changes the game by enabling teams to leverage valuable data within third-party solutions to increase situational awareness. For example, Orion location data combined with the ability to initiate communications bolster operations and response with platforms like ATAK (Android Team Awareness/Tactical Assault Kit), geospatial systems like ESRI, and more.

Learn about Orion’s Integrations.

#4: Field Teams Need Solutions That Connect Over Any Network, Device, and Location

Too many communications systems lock users into networks, devices, and platforms that are unable to scale or force deployment limitations. These constraints no longer meet the dynamic needs of the modern-day Intelligence Community.

The Orion Platform is designed to operate on any network, enabling communication over any distance. In fact, there is no gap in where teams can operate. Communications are available on a local, regional, and global level — allowing teams to connect over any IP connection, whether LTE (public or private), Wi-Fi, satellite, or mesh. Orion is also device-agnostic and configurable to meet the needs of any field operation worldwide.

Learn more about Orion’s broad device support.

Push-to-Talk 2.0 (PTT 2.0) and Transforming Frontline Defense and Intelligence Communications

Like the experts at DoDIIS, we agree that it’s time to modernize the government’s technological infrastructure, especially when it comes to field team communications. Field teams need the ability to communicate securely with voice, text, photos, videos, and files such as PDFs. By collaborating on the go and on one device, they become more effective at their missions.

Orion architected PTT 2.0 to help defense and intelligence agencies meet their evolving communication and collaboration requirements — today and in the years to come.
