NICE Leads Best Practices Development for Situation Management and Video Surveillance in Strategic European Security Consortium SECUR-ED

NICE participates in consortium, contributing its vision and experience with other partners and transport operator leaders on developing best practices for enhancing transportation security

RA'ANANA, Israel, November 23, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), today announced that it is a member of
the Secured Urban Transportation - European Demonstration (SECUR-ED)
consortium. The SECUR-ED consortium is comprised of 39 members, which
include all the major stakeholders from across Europe.

    Based on the best practices that are being developed together with the
project partners, SECUR-ED will integrate a consistent, interoperable set of
technologies and processes, covering critical aspects of transport security.
The result will be the proposal of new standards for mass transit, and
creation of solutions and process that can be implemented in urban transport
systems in cities across Europe and improve response, prevention and
preparedness.

    SECUR-ED's rationale is to create a pan-European improvement in mass
transportation security which promotes the entire public transport sector in
order to better serve the needs of European citizens. SECUR-ED develops
packaged modular solutions that are validated through local demonstrations.
These demonstrations will serve as the product pilots that will run in
Madrid, Paris, Milan and Berlin. These solutions are aimed to be
transferable onto transport systems in the medium and large sized cities of
Europe. SECUR-ED aims to promote the entire public transport sector as a
whole, in order to better serve the needs of European citizens.

    Yaron Tchwella, President of the NICE Security Group and Executive Vice
President of Business Operations said, "NICE is very pleased to have many
elements of our Public Transport solution as part of this consortium. The
extensive experience that NICE brings to the consortium, will help provide
