Police and Sussex Police are using Motorola Solutions ’ Pronto to gain immediate access to INTERPOL . This source of intelligence provides officers with important information to protect national security and enable daily productivity gains .
Pronto is the most widely deployed mobile policing solution in the UK , improving public safety through features that enhance situational awareness including mobile biometrics and federated searches . The new functionality will equip 4,500 police officers across both forces with the INTERPOL database at their fingertips , ensuring instant and secure
access to millions of international records including warrants , stolen property and threats related to weapons .
“ Pronto has been a part of the digitalisation of our police force since 2009 ,” said Amber Kingshott , Mobile Development Manager , Surrey Police . “ With access to INTERPOL , our officers no longer need to call a colleague or return to a police station to run a search , saving minutes in everyday operations and emergency situations .”
“ It takes an average of 1.2 seconds to run a query through the INTERPOL database using our mobile device ,” added Steven Boniface , Detective Chief Superintendent , Sussex Police . “ Officers can run a search from any location at any time , leveraging INTERPOL ’ s vital source of intelligence to increase safety for themselves and the British public .”
Almost two-thirds of organisations have responded to a cyberattack with a Disaster Recovery solution in the last 12 months

Enterprise company , has recently commissioned IDC to conduct a major ransomware and disaster preparedness survey , which revealed that 79 % of respondents have activated a Disaster Recovery ( DR ) response within the past 12 months . Nearly two-thirds ( 61 %) of these incidents were triggered by ransomware or other malware with 60 % of organisations reporting they had experienced unrecoverable data during that same time – substantially more than the 43 % response rate to the same question a year ago .
The State of Ransomware and Disaster Preparedness : 2022 was carried out across North America and Western Europe among medium to large organisations . Respondents reported an average of 19.3 attacks ( all types ) and 2.3 ransomware attacks in the past year with 93 % of organisations suffering a data-related business disruption during the past 12 months and 67.8 % of respondents experiencing four or more such disruptions .
With so many attacks taking place , the chances of a breach have become very high . Of the respondents that reported being attacked , 83 % indicated that at least one attack resulted in data corruption . Of even greater concern , 59.6 % of respondents have experienced unrecoverable data loss within the past 12 months .
