Cyber threats are outpacing the way most security teams are built to respond. 📈 According to CrowdStrike’s 2026 Global Threat Report, there was an 89% increase in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries year-over-year. This shift is forcing organizations to rethink how security operations function in practice, especially as alert volumes grow and incidents require faster investigation and response across increasingly complex environments. CrowdStrike’s Agentic and Transformation Services combine intelligent workflows and human expertise to help security teams investigate, prioritize, and respond more effectively. 🚀 NEWCOM partners with CrowdStrike to modernize security operations with solutions designed to improve visibility, reduce alert fatigue for analysts, and strengthen response readiness for public safety, government, education, and enterprise organizations.

NEWCOM will leverage the capabilities of CrowdStrike's Falcon platform to help high-stakes environments reduce cyber risk.

NEWCOM extends their condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Trooper Kevin Trainor of the Massachusetts State Police, honoring his service and sacrifice to the Commonwealth.

The Massachusetts State Police announce the line-of-duty death of Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, who was senselessly killed this morning by a wrong-way driver.

At the conclusion of his public safety detail shortly before 2 a.m., Trooper Trainor began his commute home. Minutes later, 911 received a call reporting a wrong-way driver traveling South on Route 1 North in Lynnfield. Several dedicated Troopers converged on the area and located the vehicle traveling the wrong way at 2:03 a.m. One minute later, at 2:04 a.m., the vehicle collided with Trooper Trainor’s cruiser.

While nothing will ever repair the pain we feel today, we make a solemn promise to never forget Trooper Trainor and his service to the Commonwealth. Kevin served as a Corrections Officer in Essex County before joining the State Police as a member of the 88th Recruit Training Troop. In his decorated career, he mentored new Troopers as a Field Training Officer or “Trooper Coach,” earned a place on the prestigious Troop Community Action Team, set the standard for professionalism, and patrolled our roads with a singular focus: keeping the people of this Commonwealth safe.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Trooper Trainor’s classmates have shared stories of his genuine care and concern for others. As one person put it, “he was the guy you wanted as your backup.”

Colonel Noble said in his remarks this afternoon, “Make no mistake: Trooper Trainor saved lives this morning. His courage – his commitment to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth and put his life on the line – prevented an even greater tragedy. He will be remembered as a hero.”

We deeply appreciate the outpouring of support from our Governor, the Secretary of Public Safety, and friends in Massachusetts and across the country. We will remember and honor this extraordinary man, son, fiancée, and friend who gave his life for others.

If connectivity drops, so does Officer safety. From the moment a patrol vehicle turns on, the router must deliver a secure, always-on Vehicle Area Network (VAN) that agencies can rely on. Semtech's XR Series is built to meet that demand, with dual 5G, Wi-Fi 6, multi-layered security, and rugged hardware designed for the realities of mobile environments. 🚔 Through this , critical tools like LPRs, dash and body cameras, laptops, and radios stay online and in sync. 🛜 NEWCOM partners with Semtech to help public safety agencies deploy high-availability wireless solutions that keep Officers connected, informed, and ready to respond. Because in the field, a connected vehicle ecosystem can make the difference between a routine response and a critical outcome.

Semtech XR Series seamlessly connects critical assets inside vehicles to provide real-time visibility for Law Enforcement.
