1 Providing the Underlying Infrastructure and Framework to Modernize Public Safety Processes

2 Introduction In the current socio-political climate public safety agencies are stretched to the limit, often having to do more with less resources while adapting to the latest threats. Keeping pace with and exploiting technological change while managing day to day operations, is a challenge. Agencies also find there is an increasing need to modernize systems and processes as they digitalize and look to share information more effectively with the public and their partners. To respond to critical incidents, prevent harm, fraud, crime and disorder, and acts of terrorism, government agencies require innovative and modern technology to deliver services in a manner most convenient to its citizens. The Unisys practice offers a portfolio of solutions focused on enabling government agencies to provide critical information and use advanced tools to maintain and improve public safety and the administration of justice. Our solution set, combined with our worldwide practice leadership and strategic partners, provide the underlying infrastructure and framework to modernize public safety processes. Managing Expectations The public expects criminal investigations to result in swift identification and positive closure, with all offenders brought to justice. Meanwhile, officers want to be assured that they are given current and accurate information, helping to ensure their safety and that of the public. Recent media attention around security and management of sensitive information is also creating an urgent need for transparency of operations. Coping with the Data Deluge Every day enforcement officers are bombarded with the amount of available data from a variety of sources. It has become increasingly difficult to keep pace, often straining the ability of enforcement officers to make rapid and sound decisions. With the growing volume of social media data used in investigations and the increasing importance of unstructured data, investigators are left with the herculean task of managing and sifting through the information to find hidden links and relationships to create actionable information. 2

3 Unisys Law Enforcement Applications Framework (U-LEAF) U-LEAF TM - Investigate with Confidence Why didn t we identify the suspect(s) earlier? : It is the question that plagues criminal investigations and intelligence handling agencies. The ability to effectively mine data, discover links, connect similar investigations and collaborate with others is critical to the investigation process. U-LEAF allows you to work your crucial data effectively, efficiently and collaboratively.

4 Secure Image Management Solution (SIMS) Unisys SIMS - Facilitating Tamper Proof Digital Evidence Management Unisys SIMS solution is a suite of products that permits the distribution, management and processing of images and multimedia in public safety environments. Agencies use SIMS to upload digital images, video and audio from any source and securely archive the original in a digital vault. They then attach metadata tags such as case number, photograph/video/audio time and date, user name to a working copy of the multimedia object to enable easy retrieval. Once the original object is uploaded it can t be modified or deleted. To provide evidentiary integrity, the system tracks changes during every step. SIMS is uniquely set-up to encourage community participation in crime solving. When an agency needs help from the public it can leverage the PICS (Public Image Capture System) capability of SIMS. This feature allows members of the general public to securely share information and files directly with the investigators working the case. PICS preserves the confidentiality of the information reported and citizens can remain anonymous if they wish. All reports and images are logged and indexed before they are evaluated by Crime Stoppers and a PICS report reviewer, and the information is passed onto investigators to look into the matter further. SIMS reduces the retrieval time for a query and court folio creation. SIMS is designed to facilitate tamper proof storage of digital evidence, allowing police to demonstrate chain-of-custody in court. 4

6 Unisys Stealth Unisys Stealth - Strengthening Mission-Critical Security Unisys Stealth is innovative, award-winning, software-defined security that protects highly sensitive data, systems and intellectual property from being compromised. In addition to strengthening mission-critical security, Stealth reduces complexity, cost and regulatory compliance scope all at the same time. Public safety leaders no longer need to trade-off security for costs they can increase security and reduce costs. Stealth is designed to make endpoints undetectable on a network, establish need-to-know access based on user identity and encrypt communication from one undetectable endpoint to another across any network. Stealth complements and integrates into existing IT infrastructure with little or no disruption, so public safety leaders can optimize their existing infrastructure while dramatically improving its security protection. Stealth(core) Law enforcement agencies typically share information with at least agencies during the course of an investigation SARS with Local Fusion Centers, intelligence reports with various agencies and databases like NCIC, CODIS, LEO, INDEX and NLETS, along with sharing information with the district attorney s office, court systems and the jail management systems. It is imperative that only the right people have access to the right data. Unisys Stealth is designed to securely microsegment and compartmentalize the networks and data centers by reclassifying their data based on need-to-know access. Common use cases for Stealth(core) include: Legacy system protection isolating and securing XPbased systems, Windows Server 2003 Data center consolidation using Stealth as a costeffective, software-defined security backbone to extend fine-grained, identity-based access to specific data center assets Regulatory compliance reducing compliance scope and facilitating compliance with PCI, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements Secure collaboration mitigating risks associated with information-sharing and collaborating with third-parties by establishing need-to-know access privileges Stealth(cloud) Security has been a major barrier for public safety leaders looking to move workloads from the data center to a more cost-effective and secure public cloud. Unisys Stealth helps public safety leaders standardize processes by using a common cloud service across different parts of the enterprise and quickly turn on new cloud resources and avoid time- and labor-intensive IT provisioning and implementation. Stealth(mobile) Information-sharing between agency HQ and field agents or first responders is essential for mission success. Mobile security begins from the inside-out. Identity-based access is established with Stealth inside the data center, then extends out to the mobile application on the mobile device. Data-in-motion is protected along the path -- from the application on mobile devices to deep within the data center. With Stealth(mobile), public safety leaders can: Enable BYOD to avoid costly end-user devices Minimize code changes or user interface changes Optimize one license across multiple mobile devices 6
