Everbridge has announced that it has been awarded a new patent for AI-based technology designed to enhance the speed and precision of crisis response across its platform.
Patent for AI models
The company states that the new patent covers the use of artificial intelligence to identify patterns in historical critical events and generate predictive models that support faster, more informed decisions during unfolding crises.
Within a unified analytics environment, the models are designed to help:
- Visualise threats
- Assess impact
- Surface recommended actions
“We continue to lead in this space”
Bryan Barney, Chief Product Officer, Everbridge commented: “This is what Everbridge innovation is all about.
“AI is how we continue to lead in this space and give organisations the power to stay ahead of fast-moving threats.”
Barney continued: “This patent reinforces our commitment to delivering purpose-built AI that anticipates risk, recommends action and improves outcomes.”
AI strategy
According to the company, the patented capabilities align with enhancements planned for the Everbridge platform, including the type of predictive modelling already in use within xMatters.
As the company continues to evolve its AI strategy, innovations like this will play a role in helping organisations shift from reactive to proactive crisis management.
“More accurate and actionable”
Barney later concluded: “Over time, the system becomes smarter. Users will be able to provide context and annotations during or after an event, enriching the datasets available to the AI models and making future predictions even more accurate and actionable.”
Awarded patents
With this latest patent, Everbridge highlights that it has over 160 awarded patents, underscoring its leadership in AI, automation and mission-critical resilience solutions.
It also reflects the company’s $1 billion investment in delivering High Velocity CEM, which the company says that it:
- Enables organisations to know earlier
- Respond faster
- Improve continuously in the face of today’s most complex threats.
