RA'ANANA, Israel, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE
Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that the City of San
Diego Public Utilities Department is implementing NICE Situator and
NiceVison Net to help secure its water supply, following an order
placed in 2012. San Diego is
California's second largest city
and the eighth largest in the U.S., with 1.3 million residents. The
Public Utilities Department oversees one of the largest and most
complex water storage, treatment, and delivery systems in the
country.
The integrated NICE Security
portfolio will enable seamless, efficient, and centralized
monitoring of 64 facilities operated by San Diego's Public Utilities Department,
including administration buildings, laboratories, pump stations and
filtration plants, as well as other sites that require security
management, such as reservoirs and dams. The first phase of the
project focuses on integrating the NiceVision video management
system (VMS) and access control, with additional sensor integration
planned for future phases.
The NICE solution will enable
the City of San Diego to
consolidate subsystems and sensors across sites, correlate that
information, automate effective response plans, and provide
insights to various stakeholders. Using NICE Situator and NiceVision, the City will be
able to bolster its critical infrastructure security based on a
high standard of security management.
"We are honored that the City of San
Diego has chosen our solutions to protect its water supply
systems, which are pivotal to the City's daily operations and to
the safety and well-being of its residents," said Yaron Tchwella,
President of the Security Group at NICE. "The fact that the City is implementing
our solutions to protect such a critical utility attests to the
breadth of our security portfolio in its ability to meet the
specific needs of government bodies as well as private
organizations."
