Homeland Security Solutions: Case Studies
- Ben Gurion Airport Authority
- With Tel Aviv air travel on the rise, the airport faced the dilemma of maintaining high levels of security while also controlling crowds and cutting passenger wait times.
- City of Anaheim
- To accelerate its response to local emergencies, Anaheim needed to improve information sharing among police, fire and other city departments. IT partner EDS helped Anaheim launch an unprecedented virtual emergency management solution that helps the city make smarter, faster decisions and fully leverage its existing IT investments.
- Federal Law Enforcement Agency
- A federal law enforcement agency needed to achieve technology efficiencies and enhance communication across its far-reaching organization. EDS provided a simplified IT infrastructure and a best-in-class help desk that helped the agency realize an operational cost savings of $40.9 million.
- U.S. Department of Defense
- The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) wanted to provide critical information assurance functions for its logical (computer) and physical assets, improve business processes and enhance quality of life for its 4 million employees worldwide via chip-based smart cards.
- U.S. Department of Defense (Command Communications Survivability Program)
- After September 11, a study found vulnerabilities in the Pentagon’s IT infrastructure. As a result, the Department of Defense wanted to quickly eliminate those areas of weakness, improve security and ensure systems could survive virtually any contingency.
- U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
- The TSA believes technology could be the ticket to optimizing both airport security and the passenger traveling experience without compromising one for the other. Using biometric data, the EDS-designed solution streamlines security procedures for low-risk frequent flyer passengers so airport officials can dedicate precious time and resources to screening high-risk travelers and controlling crowds.
