Everbridge, a global leader in critical event management (CEM), and a Platinum Award winner in the 2019, 2018, and 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Programs, is pleased to announce that JARVISS, has been nominated to compete in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.
JARVISS provides federal agencies one platform where senior leaders, antiterrorism officers, law enforcement personnel, and emergency managers can identify relevant threats, gain context around each threat to understand its importance, identify all assets that could be affected, and act to avoid or mitigate the impact of a risk event.
JARVISS provides its users with a common operating picture will enable teams to protect their interests when faced with a critical event.
In April 2021, the U.S. Army signed a three-year contract with Everbridge for its software solutions to power JARVISS, the U.S. DoD’s enterprise system for threat visibility.
The contract also includes two U.S. Air Force (USAF) major and subordinate commands, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and Air Force North (AFNORTH), which committed to adopting JARVISS to advance their respective threat information sharing and analytics capabilities.
The Joint Analytic Real-Time Virtual Information Sharing System (JARVISS) primarily focuses on anti-terrorism and other security threats such as active shooters and natural disasters that might affect DoD operations.
With this contract, the US Army joins over 70 federal agencies that are supported by the Everbridge CEM platform.
Furthermore, since the outbreak of COVID-19, JARVISS also provides support for ongoing threat analysis of the pandemic, giving Army commanders and other DoD users critical insight into the impact of COVID-19 to global operations across 400 military locations in 70 Countries.

Additionally, Everbridge recently announced that the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) will deploy the company’s platform to communicate critical event updates and safety information to thousands of volunteers during the 125th running of the Boston Marathon, one year after the famed race went virtual-only at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak.
A sign of resilience and recovery as the sporting world transitions to a post-pandemic “new normal,” the famed race will again take place in-person on Monday, October 11th.
Volunteers will be stationed at medical tents along the 26.2-mile marathon route that starts in Hopkinton, MA, and ends in downtown Boston, and will receive Everbridge-powered notifications in the event of an incident or disruption.
Since September 2020, the B.A.A. has regularly convened a “COVID-19 Medical & Event Operations Advisory Group” to establish a framework to advise the B.A.A.’s leadership, board of directors, and staff how to safely resume the Boston Marathon and other large, in-person B.A.A. road races.
“We at the B.A.A. are always looking for ways to enhance our participants’ race experience, especially in the area of health and safety,” said Chris Troyanos, ATC – Medical Coordinator for the Boston Athletic Association.
“Everbridge provides us with an important resilience solution in the event of a situation that requires immediate and effective communications across our team of volunteers. We are proud of our continued partnership with Everbridge.”
“The Everbridge mission of keeping people safe aligns with our overall commitment to the safety and success of the Boston Marathon.”

“As a Boston-headquartered company, the Marathon has always been a significant annual event for our organization and employees,” explained Tracy Reinhold, Everbridge Chief Security Officer, and former head of the FBI’s Intelligence Division.
“This year, more than ever, we are keenly aware of the importance of serving the Boston Athletic Association as it brings back the prestigious Boston Marathon in a safe and vigilant way for every runner, volunteer, and staff member.”
Along with assisting businesses and governments to return to work and re-open operations as part of a post-COVID world, Everbridge helps leading professional sports teams, clubs, tournaments, and entertainment organizations anticipate and mitigate natural, manmade, and digital critical events.
Many of the largest sporting events including the recent Tokyo Summer Games and the annual U.S. Football Championship, have deployed the Everbridge critical event management platform and keyword-based alerting solution.
As part of its recent “COVID-19 Road to Recovery” Executive Symposium, Everbridge hosted senior sports executives from global organizations including Major League Baseball (MLB), Arsenal Football Club, and Dutch Olympic Committee to offer their insights about the future of sports in a post-pandemic world.
Top sports leaders discussed best practices for more safely returning fans to major sporting/entertainment venues and leveraging critical event management technology to assess and mitigate future threats and increase revenue.
(Everbridge hosted Coronavirus: the Road to Recovery, a virtual symposium that brought together business, healthcare, and government leaders to discuss best practices of return to work and was designed to help organizations around the world chart a path forward. The event gathered nearly 20 executive speakers from organizations such as the CDC, GAP, TripAdvisor, US Army, the Boston Celtics and more. Speakers addressed the needs of executive-level decision-makers in areas related to security, operations, risk, human resources, clinical operations, emergency management, and supply chain.

Everbridge’s Critical Event Management was also leveraged two Presidential Inaugurations, Times Square New Year’s Eve celebrations and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Pride Parade in San Francisco, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and the March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C.
