SUMMARY:2026 Virginia APCO/NENA/SIEC Conference
DESCRIPTION:Meet GateKeeper at the 2026 Virginia APCO/NENA/SIEC Interoperability Conference\nFaster access for telecommunicators. Stronger security for every shared public-safety workstation.\nOctober 27–29\, 2026The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center | Roanoke\, VirginiaMeet GateKeeper in the Exhibit Hall Booth #415 \nGateKeeper is exhibiting at the 2026 Virginia APCO/NENA/SIEC Interoperability Conference to demonstrate how emergency communications centers can strengthen workstation security without slowing down telecommunicators. \nEvery second matters inside a 9-1-1 center. Dispatchers and call-takers need immediate access to CAD\, call-handling\, mapping\, records and other mission-critical applications. Repeated passwords\, slow user switching and phone-based MFA can interrupt that workflow. \nGateKeeper helps public-safety agencies deliver fast\, secure workstation access while maintaining individual accountability. \nThe conference takes place October 27–29\, 2026\, at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center. Virginia APCO describes it as its signature annual event\, presented with Virginia NENA and SIEC\, featuring training\, networking\, breakout sessions\, keynote speakers and an exhibitor showcase. \n \nSecure the Workstation Without Slowing the Response\nTraditional identity systems often assume that each employee works from one dedicated computer. \nEmergency communications centers operate differently. \nTelecommunicators may rotate between consoles\, share computers across shifts\, move between positions and access several critical applications from the same workstation. During staffing changes or major incidents\, another authorized user may need to take over immediately. \nGateKeeper helps agencies: \n\nDeliver fast\, phone-free multifactor authentication\nReduce repeated password entry\nSecure shared Windows workstations\nAutomatically lock unattended consoles\nAccelerate secure user switching and shift changes\nAssociate workstation access with the correct employee\nImprove accountability on shared computers\nCentrally manage authentication policies across locations\n\nShared Consoles Should Not Create Shared Identities\nA shared workstation can create serious accountability problems. \nOne telecommunicator may leave a session open. Another employee may continue working under that person’s account. Teams may also rely on shared credentials because signing in repeatedly takes too long. \nGateKeeper creates a faster and more accountable workflow: \n\nThe telecommunicator authenticates under their own identity.\nGateKeeper provides secure access to the workstation.\nThe computer automatically locks when the authorized user leaves.\nThe next employee authenticates under their own credentials.\nAdministrators gain a clearer record of who accessed the workstation.\n\nThe result is: \nFaster access for telecommunicators.Automatic protection for unattended consoles.Clearer accountability for administrators. \nPhone-Free MFA for Public Safety\nPersonal phones are not always practical inside an emergency communications center. \nMobile devices may be restricted\, discouraged or unavailable on the operations floor. Repeatedly retrieving a phone and approving an MFA request can also create unnecessary interruptions during time-sensitive work. \nGateKeeper provides organization-controlled authentication options designed for shared computers\, fixed consoles and frontline environments. \nAgencies can strengthen authentication without requiring employees to depend on personal phones for every login. \nBuilt for 9-1-1 and Emergency Communications Workflows\nVisit GateKeeper at the Virginia APCO/NENA/SIEC Conference to discuss challenges involving: \nShared dispatch consoles\nGive each telecommunicator fast access while keeping activity associated with the correct identity. \nShift changes\nHelp incoming personnel begin work quickly without continuing under another employee’s session. \nUnattended workstations\nAutomatically secure consoles when authorized users move away. \nRepeated password entry\nReduce time spent typing\, remembering and resetting complex passwords throughout a shift. \nCAD and public-safety applications\nImprove the workstation login experience surrounding CAD\, call-handling\, records\, mapping and other supported systems. \nMultiple centers and locations\nApply consistent authentication and workstation-security policies across departments\, facilities and agencies. \nCybersecurity and compliance\nImprove individual accountability while reducing practices such as password sharing and unattended open sessions. \nIdentity Security That Supports Interoperability\nInteroperability depends on more than connecting radios\, networks and public-safety systems. \nAuthorized personnel must also be able to access those systems securely and efficiently. \nGateKeeper helps agencies strengthen the human access layer by answering three essential questions: \n\nWho is using this workstation? \n\n\nIs the authorized user still present? \n\n\nWhat happens when the next employee takes over? \n\nBy combining rapid authentication\, automatic locking and individual user attribution\, GateKeeper helps protect the workstation without creating another obstacle for emergency personnel. \nSee GateKeeper in Action\nMeet the GateKeeper team in the exhibit hall for a live demonstration of: \n\nFast workstation authentication\nPhone-free MFA\nAutomatic walk-away locking\nSecure user switching\nShared-computer accountability\nCentralized administrative controls\n\nBring us your most difficult public-safety authentication workflow. Our team will help map how GateKeeper could work alongside your existing identity\, CAD and emergency communications environment. \nMeet GateKeeper in Roanoke\n2026 Virginia APCO/NENA/SIEC Interoperability ConferenceOctober 27–29\, 2026The Hotel Roanoke & Conference CenterRoanoke\, Virginia \nSecure every session without slowing the response.
