Cyber attacks against public safety agencies are rising, with 324 confirmed globally in 2024, including 25 complete system shutdowns. The Public Safety Threat Alliance, established by Motorola Solutions, is a cyber threat Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) recognized by CISA that provides actionable intelligence to public safety agencies across the globe to improve their resilience and defense capabilities. Membership in the PSTA is open to all public safety agencies, and there is no cost to join for public sector organizations.
