NICE Introduces New Version of Security Situation Management Solution With Greater Openness and Interoperability
New Version of NICE Situator Also Offers Enhanced Visualization and Workflow, and Pre-Configured Packages for Addressing Growing Compliance Requirements and the Specific Needs of Various Vertical Industries
RA'ANANA, Israel, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), the worldwide leader of intent-based
solutions that extract insight to impact business performance, reduce
financial risk and ensure safety and security, today announced enhancements
to its open security situation management solution, NICE Situator. The new
release of NICE Situator offers greater openness and interoperability, and
enhanced situation visualization and workflow. NICE will debut the new
version of NICE Situator in booth 7109 at the 2011 ISC West Conference, April
5-8, 2011 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas.
NICE Situator, which was recently named the leading PSIM (Physical
Security Information Management) software solution by independent analyst
firm IMS Research, now provides a number of important enhancements. These
include capabilities for precise, real-time tracking of relevant assets
(whether vehicles, aircraft, ships, radar targets, sensors, or a host of
other resources). These capabilities are ready-made and vertical-market
specific. They also address specific compliance requirements and standards,
such as those of NERC CIP, the North American Electric Reliability Council's
regulations for protecting critical infrastructure, and those of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) National Incident Management System
(NIMS). Customers can leverage pre-configured industry-compliant
visualization packages or easily customize their own visualization icons and
logic.
"We are happy to introduce these new capabilities in NICE Situator," said
Davidi Vortman, General Manager, Security Management Solutions, NICE. "With
more than two hundred gateways to leading security and safety solutions, NICE
Situator offers a very high level of openness, and introduces previously
unavailable situation management capabilities to leading organizations in the
transportation, utility, banking and public safety sectors worldwide.
Extending NICE Situator's openness outside the organization through external
business process integration was the next logical step. With the new NICE
Situator version, organizations can leverage a wealth of external information
sources for decision support when responding to situations or threats."
"For example, in an airport emergency landing, external data fed into
NICE Situator, such as the aircraft's size or type, number of passengers, or
any hazardous materials on board, might dictate a specific response
scenario," Vortman continued.
NICE Situator provides adaptive workflows that guide operator actions
based on standard operating procedures and internal situation triggers. The
new version also provides the ability to leverage external correlation
engines, enterprise systems, databases and web services for enhanced workflow
and informed decision-making. NICE Situator can query these external systems
and based on that input, dynamically proceed down another path in the
response plan.
"Having worked with NICE to implement NICE Situator, I can tell you we
are very impressed with the solution's capabilities, and in particular the
direction that the company has taken with its newest release of NICE
Situator," said Mark Moscinski, Sr. Vice President for SDI, a national
systems integrator specializing in mission-critical systems and
infrastructure. "When it comes to Situation Management solutions, NICE is
setting the benchmark for openness, interoperability, visualization and
workflow."
The new version of NICE Situator provides an off-the-shelf approach to
integrating a broad number of external correlation engines or third party
data sources into an organization's workflow, by avoiding the need for custom
development. These sources could include background checks, watch lists,
threat levels, weather service data, maintenance records, etc.
Interoperability is also improved by enabling a faster, more accurate
approach for sharing information that may reside in different agencies or
departments, and which may be used for decision-making and response that can
be audited post-incident.
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 offering enables capturing, 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.
