RA'ANANA, Israel, March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that the Air and
Marine Operations Center (AMOC), the operational and domain
awareness center for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's
Office of Air and Marine (OAM), has implemented NICE solutions to
record and manage mission-critical voice communications used for
investigations and debriefing.
As one of the world's largest aviation law enforcement
organizations, the OAM's mission is to protect citizens and
critical infrastructure by detecting, interdicting and preventing
acts of terrorism and the unlawful movement of people, illegal
drugs and contraband across U.S. borders. The AMOC supports this
mission by monitoring over 250 different radar sources and tracking
tens of thousands of air and marine movements daily. The AMOC
relays surveillance information regarding potential threats to
local law enforcement or other authorities who then intercept and
investigate. Since mid-2011, AMOC has been using NICE solutions,
including NiceLog and NICE Inform, to record, preserve and manage
critical communications from the tactical operations hub of the
AMOC to local law enforcement and other agencies throughout the
United States. The recordings are used to gather historical
data, and for post event analysis to increase AMOC's readiness
during similar events.
"We are pleased that our mission-critical systems, which are
designed to address the security, safety and operational risks of
the largest law enforcement facilities, are now being implemented
by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Air and Marine
Operations Center," said Eric Hines,
Vice President, Security at NICE. "The capabilities of recording
and investigating provide true value for organizations that need to
analyze and assess incidents for learning, planning and future
prevention."
The NICE Security Offering addresses the needs of
governments and enterprises with intent-based solutions for
fighting crime and terror, by anticipating, managing and mitigating
safety, security and operational risks. The solution enables
capture, analysis and correlation of data from multiple sensors and
systems, including audio, video, radio, geo-location and web,
providing a framework for fusing data silos into a single, holistic
operational view. NICE Security solutions empower
organizations to act effectively in real time to prevent, manage
and investigate incidents, ensuring fast resolution and debriefing,
and continuous security improvements. NICE Security solutions are
deployed worldwide in transportation systems, critical
infrastructures, city centers and enterprise campuses.
