Not a day seems to go by without a major event or crisis hitting the headlines – terrible fires, floods, earthquakes, and storms. We have also witnessed major emergencies – bridge collapses, terrorist attacks, and technological failures. Fortunately, attacks have been thwarted and disasters averted. SAP can help prevent future disasters with solutions for public security.

Maintain Security for Your People, Community, and Economy

Public security is the function of governments that ensures the protection of citizens, organizations, and institutions against threats to their well-being – and to the prosperity of their communities.

SAP provides a systematic, all-hazards approach that enables governments, businesses, and critical infrastructures to interact to achieve agility in prevention and preparation, as well as resilience in response and recovery – to ensure security of the community. Using SAP solutions, government agencies can better coordinate communication across local, regional, and national levels and geographic boundaries.

• Governments can enhance public security through cross-agency or cross-industry collaboration to provide information, resources, and services to the lead government agency responsible for coordinating the security incident.
• The private sector, including private businesses, critical infrastructure providers, and health organizations benefit from using SAP solutions to adapt and innovate through informed business decisions to effectively manage risk based on new threats.

In today's globalized society, no organization can sustain business operations without relying on some interdependence between public and private sectors. With solutions for 26 industries bridging small, large, and global organizations, SAP is uniquely positioned to help public and private organizations develop integrated business process platforms to accomplish their missions.
