Washington, DC – June 20, 2025 – Samdesk, the leading real-time risk detection and situational awareness platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Genasys, the global leader in protective communications. This integration embeds samdesk’s AI-driven, human-verified intelligence directly into Genasys’s multi-channel Alert and Connect platforms, empowering emergency managers, public safety leaders, and enterprise security teams to move from alert to action in seconds.


"At Genasys, our mission is to help organizations communicate clearly and respond confidently during critical events,” said Steve Sickler, Vice President of Field Operations for Genasys. “Partnering with samdesk enhances our ability to deliver on our commitment of giving customers earlier insights, situational awareness from trusted sources, and more time to deliver protective communications through multiple channels."


Samdesk combines AI-powered detection with analyst validation in under 60 seconds, delivering pre-clustered, summarized alerts 30-90 minutes faster than other systems. Samdesk filters millions of signals into concise, high-context notifications that close blind spots and cut through the noise.


"When you’re dealing with public safety alerts, there can be no compromise between speed and accuracy,” said James Neufeld, CEO and Founder of samdesk. “By embedding samdesk’s real-time risk detection and situational awareness directly into Genasys’s Alert and Connect systems, teams can quickly and accurately detect emerging threats—like severe weather, wildfire risk, or critical infrastructure disruptions—and immediately mobilize protective communications to keep people safe."


Together with samdesk’s real-time feed filtering millions of public data points into concise, actionable alerts, this partnership delivers:

  • Eliminate Blind Spots: samdesk scans billions of open-source data points across 100K+ data streams, surfacing events other tools never see.

  • End-to-End Response: From detection to dispatch, incidents are identified by samdesk and instantly communicated through Genasys’s channels, ensuring no time is lost in critical situations.

  • Legally Sourced, Compliant Data: Samdesk’s use of licensed, open-source feeds aligns with Genasys’s strict compliance requirements, giving agencies confidence in data integrity and auditability.

  • Geo-Targeted Precision: Street-level geofencing ensures notifications reach only those who need them, minimizing alert fatigue and maximizing situational awareness for affected areas.

  • Scalable, 24/7 Coverage: Both platforms operate continuously across global deployments, supporting multi-lingual feeds and millions of endpoints without added infrastructure.


The samdesk-Genasys integration is available to existing customers and will be showcased at the upcoming International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) conference in Nashville this July.
