We are proud to sponsor this event and share our team’s insight on reducing the complexity to design and implement programs that strengthen an organization’s IT infrastructure in the effort to combat terrorism and cyberterrorism. In addition, as a launch partner for AIRI (the AI-Ready Infrastructure architected by Pure Storage and NVIDIA), we can support the first responder community by applying Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to sensor networks, such as video surveillance analysis, shrinking the response time from hours to minutes or less. We look forward to working together with our ecosystem partners to support the counterterrorism teams in their efforts to keep NYC safe.”
