Multi-Level Video and Situation Intelligence Solution Designed to
Create Integrated Airport Security Monitoring Platform
Verint®
Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT) today announced that it is leading
and providing key technologies to the first Total Airport Security
Solution (TASS) proof-of-concept at Heathrow in London. TASS is
comprised of a multi-level video and situation intelligence offering
specifically designed to help airports advance their threat detection
capabilities.
Verint, the TASS consortium initiator and coordinator, along with
several key partners from leading European technology companies,
launched the field testing of the TASS prototype in October 2012. During
the trial, three pre-identified security threat scenarios are being
tested, allowing members within the airport community to observe and
evaluate the TASS system.
Part of the Seventh EU Framework Program (FP7), TASS is a four year
project that is expected to run until March 2014. The TASS consortium is
led by Verint and composed of 20 leading European technology companies,
research institutes and end-user organizations.
The purpose of TASS is to enable an advanced, integrated approach to
airport security by creating an entire airport situation intelligence
solution that provides real-time, accurate situational awareness to
airport authorities. Based on integrating and fusing different types of
real-time sensors and sub-systems for data collection, TASS operates in
a variety of modes, including fixed and mobile, and under any
environmental condition. TASS represents a significant step forward in
developing the model for integrated systems at airports, which typically
have a range of systems and sensors not natively designed to
interoperate or share intelligence in a coordinated manner.
Heathrow security officials will continue to conduct several simulated
scenarios testing the system's functionality and interoperability with
the integrated technologies. Among the technology being used in the
field trial are Verint's Nextiva® Video Management Software?
(VMS) and Nextiva PSIM?, a physical security information
management solution. The Verint VMS solution is a powerful video
management application designed to view video, monitor system health and
export information for investigative purposes. Nextiva PSIM captures
information from a variety of security, safety and building management
systems; enables users to view, correlate and analyze the information to
identify situations quickly and efficiently; and helps initiate and
manage responses to security situations in collaboration with local
authorities and agencies. The Nextiva solutions are open-standards based
and have been integrated with the other consortium key partner
technologies.
"The TASS consortium is pleased to execute and monitor its first
proof-of-concept testing at Heathrow," says Gideon Hazzani, TASS project
coordinator and director of business development, Verint Communications
and Cyber Intelligence Solutions?. "Heathrow's sophisticated
environment made it an attractive candidate for the trial. Upon
integrating the various systems, the consortium will continue its field
trial to validate the Total Airport Security Solution's ability to
deliver real-time data to security authorities, enabling them to quickly
identify and assess situations, and effectively respond to alerts within
pre-defined parameters set forth by the airport."
