The new AtHoc Account, released last week, is a FedRAMP-authorized solution that automates personnel accountability and cri- sis communication processes by providing safety and availability status updates of people before, during and after an event -- ultimately providing the information leaders need to make operational decisions. With an integrated approach to person- nel accountability, AtHoc Account combines inputs from managers about their team, call center operators, data streams from HR and travel systems, as well as self-reporting by individuals. It enables organizations to meet U.S. Fed- eral mandates for accounting for their people by consolidating safety information into a report that can be initiated at a variety of orga- nizational levels: group, installation, facility, regional or enterprise-wide. "In times of crisis, situations change quick- ly. Organizations need a way to get informa- tion to their people and understand in real- time how an incident is a� ecting its resources so they can make informed safety-critical decisions," said Billy Ho, executive vice-pres- ident of Enterprise Products and Solutions, said in a press release. "AtHoc Account is a comprehensive solu- tion that helps government agencies and enterprises comply with regulations and digi- tally transform their operations. "It is another example of how BlackBerry is securing the Enterprise of � ings by applying its deep experience, industry leadership and ongoing product innovation to addresses real- world needs." In addition to AtHoc Account, the FedRAMP authorized BlackBerry AtHoc cloud service includes AtHoc Alert and AtHoc Con- nect, among other capabilities. Together, these off erings enable agencies to securely share information critical to safety during a crisis with their people and across agencies. AtHoc Alert enables secure multi-chan- nel, bi-directional mass notification using almost any type of device, including via secure mobile apps, telephony and texting as well as integrating with other mass noti� cation chan- nels such as loudspeakers, two-way radios, and digital displays. AtHoc Connect allows agencies to commu- nicate with each other during crises, address- ing some of the more critical de� ciencies in crisis management and answering interop- erability requirements set out by the DHS Interoperable Communications Act H.R. 615. BlackBerry AtHoc's crisis communica- tion platform is used to protect more than 70 percent of federal government personnel, including the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, Department of Treasury, Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs, Department of Energy, the Federal Aviation Administration and others. Only AtHoc Account ensures U.S. federal agencies comply with the following mandates: • Department of Homeland Security: DHS Directive 008-04 • ISO 22301 and other business resilience standards • Safety law emergency plans under OSHA and Canada's equivalent • Department of Defense: DoDI 3001.02 • Department of Veterans Affairs: VA Directive 0325 BlackBerry is a mobile-native security software and services company dedicated to securing people, devices, processes and sys- tems for today's enterprise.
