PARAMUS, New Jersey,
December 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced
that it is the winner of multiple Homeland Security Awards from
Government Security News (GSN) for Best Intelligent Video
Surveillance, Best Forensic Software and Best PSIM Solution. Five
NICE customers were also honored as "Most Notable" in their
respective categories. The GSN awards acknowledge the outstanding
achievements of security solution providers and government agencies
at the federal, state and municipal levels.
Suspect Search, a patent-pending video analytics technology, was
recognized for its ability to quickly locate and retrace the
movements of a person of interest within a video surveillance
network. The solution can scan an hour of video in less than a
minute, automatically filtering out 95 percent of irrelevant
images, aiding both real-time and post-event investigations.
NICE Situator was distinguished for providing advanced Physical
Security Information Management (PSIM). The system consolidates
data from various sensors, like CCTV and access control, within a
single operations center. This information is filtered into
pre-defined response plans to help operators better manage
situations in real time.
Additionally, NICE customers were honored in the following
categories:
- Most Notable Airport/Aviation Security Program
- Most Notable Maritime/Seaport Security Program
- Most Notable Railroad/Mass Transit Security Program:
- Most Notable Municipal/County Security Program, Project or
Initiative
"The pool of nominees for this year's GSN Homeland Security
Awards was very competitive, as always, so the large number of
awards received by NICE and its clients is really a testament to
NICE's superb security solutions and its ability to deliver," said
Adrian Courtenay, CEO of World
Business Media, LLC, which publishes Government Security
News. "The NICE solutions have all the hallmarks that the GSN
Homeland Security Awards judges were looking for in winning entries
- technological innovation, ability to enhance security and overall
operations, filling recognized government IT security gaps, and the
flexibility to meet both current and future security needs of
government organizations."
"This has been another great year for NICE - winning eight GSN
Homeland Security awards is the icing on the cake for us and our
customers," said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE
Security Group. "Our Suspect Search solution alone picked up two
major awards, adding to the numerous accolades received in recent
months. But it is really our customer awards we are most proud of,
as this reaffirm NICE's ability to provide real return on
investment to its customers worldwide and our commitment to
