Attenti, an established leader in the electronic monitoring industry, has released the Attenti One-Piece Tracking Device (AT1), the first in the industry to feature Wi-Fi tracking and communication to aid criminal justice agencies in their monitoring efforts.

Featuring Wi-Fi tracking as one of its three location technologies, the AT1 utilizes Wi-Fi access points to continue tracking in the absence of a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal. This makes the AT1 ideal for urban environments where gaps in GPS signals can occur — such as in underground transit systems, industrial parks, and large commercial buildings.

Additionally, the AT1 device’s ability to reliably communicate data via LTE or Wi-Fi network benefits criminal justice agencies serving rural or remote areas where cellular coverage is limited or nonexistent.

“Key insights from our customers, combined with Attenti’s long legacy of innovative technology, helped us develop a Wi-Fi enabled electronic monitoring device that tracks and communicates more reliably than any in our industry,” said Arnie Roese, Vice President and General Manager of Attenti North America. “The AT1 helps criminal justice agencies in their mission to improve offender compliance, promote rehabilitation, and keep communities safe and secure – even those with subways, large shopping malls and factories, limited cellular coverage, and other features that can make tracking and communication a challenge.”

The new AT1 device also includes an upgrade to the LTE network and other robust new features including the widest array of interference detection in the industry: cellular jamming, GPS jamming, device shielding, and motion detection.

The Attenti One-Piece Tracking Device is now available to agencies and companies in the United States and Canada. To request a demonstration, please call 866-213-0240 or email [email protected]

Attenti provides a full spectrum of electronic monitoring solutions tailored to each customer’s unique requirements.

NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) has successfully completed a technology integration of its NICE Inform incident intelligence solution with the RapidSOS Clearinghouse. The integration of the two solutions extends RapidSOS’ enhanced emergency information beyond real-time incident handling to transform incident reconstruction and investigations for 911 centers.

Integration extends RapidSOS’ enhanced emergency information beyond real-time incident handling to empower post-incident reconstruction

Used by thousands of public safety agencies nationwide for faster response and improved situational awareness, the RapidSOS Clearinghouse provides life-saving data from millions of connected devices directly to 911 and first responders in an emergency. The technology gives 911 centers access to a caller’s more accurate device location, saving precious time in an emergency.

As a result of a recently completed integration with NICE Inform, that same device location data is now also empowering 911 center managers with more precise, post incident reconstruction and incident intelligence tools.

“It’s a game changing solution for 911 centers,” said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE. “Thousands of 911 centers nationwide are already using the RapidSOS Clearinghouse advanced location data for faster response and better situational awareness, but there are also opportunities to use that same data to improve incident reconstruction on the back end. The integration of RapidSOS and NICE solutions now make that possible.”

How It Works
The NICE Inform solution uses the ANI (automatic number identification) associated with each call to request the device location data from the RapidSOS Clearinghouse (for the device making the call). Once the device location data is captured in NICE Inform, it can be used in a variety of ways:

Visual Searching – Users can draw a box around an area on a map and immediately see all recorded calls that came in during a specific time period, along with the precise call locations.
Precise Incident Visualization and Playback – When selecting any call for playback, users can visualize the movement of the caller on a map, while synchronously listening to the call recording as it plays back.
Incident Intelligence – The enhanced location data also fuels the NICE Inform Intelligence Center dashboards. For example, managers can quickly pinpoint and visualize the precise location of calls related to any large-scale police, fire or EMS incident, and see what types of incidents are occurring where.
“The beauty of this solution is also in its future potential,” added Wooten. “As the Internet of life-saving things continues to increase and the data in the clearinghouse continues to grow, that data can be made available through NICE Inform, along with the incident recordings, for a complete picture of what happened during an incident and how it happened. This could include health and medical data, vehicle telematics and more.”

NICE will be demonstrating the integrated solution in booth #811 at the APCO 2019 Annual Conference & Expo which is taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, August 11 – 14, 2019.

Today Deloitte, MIT and Datawheel released the third major update to Data USA, a data visualization platform with more than 400,000 monthly visits. This third update includes a “Viz Builder” tool, which allows users to build custom data visualizations using data from over a dozen U.S. public sources.

Deloitte, MIT and Datawheel Launch New ‘Viz Builder’ in Data USA 3.0, Enabling Users to Create Millions of New Visualizations

Along with this new feature, Data USA releases an improved, open source and scalable design.

Data USA is a free and open, publicly available platform that has become one of the main sources for Americans to access public data. The comprehensive visualization engine integrates, visualizes and distributes publicly available data pulled from multiple public sources, such as the U.S. Department of Education, Census Bureau, Department of Labor, and Department of Health and Human Services.

“The US government produces tons of valuable data every year; however, there are not many tools to make sense of it, fuse it, sift through it, and visualize it, making it inaccessible to all but the most skilled data scientists,” said Matt Gentile, principal, Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP and one of the creators of Data USA. “We’re working to close that gap and make that data useful, relevant, and understandable, to those in the public sector, private sector, and the general population. This release will put relatable statistical evidence about the economy, the workforce, public health and education in the hands of everyone to drive basic decisions, such as what the best parts of the country to find a job as a nurse.”

“We’re very excited to unveil the newest installment of Data USA, along with all the new features that come with it,” said Cesar Hidalgo, MIT Media Lab faculty and co-founder of Datawheel. “With this new update, Data USA continues to prove itself to be a flagship project showing what is next in this new wave of open data sites.”

Data USA 3.0 includes more data sets, but also updated features that enable users to more easily visualize public data. Features like the data cart and visualization builder allow users to dig deeper into the data than ever before. For example, users can now visualize the number of people working in an industry that belong to a specific demographic, such as an ethnic group and gender as shown here. This level of depth was not possible in previous versions of Data USA.

The new visualization builder feature allows users to see data differently, creating a consolidated view of useful data on a wide range of topics, such as:

Drug overdose and death rates by county
Customer profiles across geographic regions
Black females working in the software industry by state
Admissions for universities in the Boston-metro area
Deloitte, MIT and Datawheel launched Data USA in April 2016 and have continued to add more data, modify and evolve the platform. In its first year, Data USA delivered more than 2.5 million sessions, with the majority of visitors coming from organic search.

As the volume and variety of regulated communications increase, the supervision challenges and risks for financial services organizations (FSOs) only become more complex. To address this, NICE Actimize, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) business and the leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has enhanced its Intelligent eCommunications Surveillance solution with next generation machine learning capabilities, intelligent analytics and investigative tools to strengthen surveillance detection and case management, reduce false alerts, and drive down compliance costs.

While today’s heightened regulatory requirements place greater surveillance demands on FSOs, certain legacy surveillance technology may make the job harder. For example, lexicon-based surveillance systems (which focus on specific words rather than understanding the communications’ context) can overwhelm compliance analysts with false alerts, often leading FSOs to increase staff size to manage this volume. Analysts may also spend inordinate amounts of time manually reconstructing trades and managing investigations. The latest release of NICE Actimize’s intelligent eComms Surveillance solution addresses these challenges with intelligent analytics to improve detection and accuracy.

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, stated: “NICE Actimize is a pioneer in applying machine learning and AI to communications surveillance, and over the past seven years we’ve continued to enhance our capabilities in this area. Many leading financial institutions, both on the buy-side and sell-side, currently leverage our solutions to improve their compliance programs’ detection accuracy, total cost of ownership and efficiency. We’ve also been acknowledged by analyst firms for our robust and comprehensive analytics capabilities and promising roadmap. This newest release of our eCommunications surveillance solution, with its next generation machine learning and our award-winning ActOne investigation and case management solution, brings communications surveillance detection and investigative efficiency to a whole new level.”

In addition to the above benefits, NICE Actimize’s Intelligent eCommunications Surveillance Solution, can:

Reconstruct trades up to fifty times faster (in minutes instead of days or weeks), so analysts spend less time on manual work and more time proactively managing risk.
Reduce the cost of compliance by automating compliance workflows and improving overall efficiency of compliance analysts by up to 80 percent.
Reduce regulatory and business risk by using advanced machine learning techniques and Natural Language Processing (NLP) driven analytics and models to automatically review 100 percent of regulated employee communications.
Achieve full compliance with MiFID II, Dodd-Frank and FX Global Code regulations around communications surveillance.
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through intelligent analytics and cloud deployment.
How Intelligent eComms Surveillance Works
The new release of Intelligent eCommunications Surveillance, which adds machine learning classification on top of NICE Actimize’s already robust Natural Language Processing speech and text analytics, enables FSOs to more accurately detect risky communications and extract quote and trade details from communications. As analysts review flagged communications in the ActOne investigation and case management interface, they’re now able to classify those communications based on their relevancy, business topic and asset class. The system then learns from this feedback, to bolster detection accuracy even further.

The ActOne case management platform also applies automation and intelligence to the compliance investigation process. Robotics automate repetitive, manual investigative tasks, while policy-driven workflows guide analysts through each action they need to take. Analysts can also use ActOne to collaborate with team-members, escalate cases, upload documents and notes, and share detailed findings, resulting in significantly streamlined investigations. The system can automatically reconstruct complete trades in minutes, by instantly searching and correlating billions of records across linked data sources (including trades, orders, voice recordings and electronic communications).

The Intelligent Security Operations Center (ISOC) Vision Helps Organizations Accelerate Investigations and Optimize Security Operations

gent Security Operations Center (ISOC), the Situational Intelligence Platform provides a suite of integrated features that enable complete situational control in complex security environments. This integrated, modular and flexible platform drives a better user experience, facilitates real-time monitoring, provides greater situational awareness, and helps security teams respond faster and more efficiently to situations when they occur.

Customers and the market at large face mounting business and security challenges, and that has propelled Verint to infuse more analytics and automation into its Situational Intelligence Platform. These innovations are critical because cyber and physical security threats are becoming more prevalent while data is growing exponentially, driving organizations to seek more advanced solutions to better address risk.

Automating Intelligence

Security managers and operators rely on a multitude of solutions and systems to ensure comprehensive protection, which results in an enormous volume of data to analyze. This influx of information can often be overwhelming, and in most cases, manual processes are needed to manage an event across all security components for full awareness, which is a significant barrier to automation.

Verint’s ISOC concept is designed to address this challenge head on. The ISOC aggregates multiple systems into a single interface and exposes it to an analytic layer that results in the delivery of Actionable Intelligence. The ISOC facilitates utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze data across an enterprise’s domains and assess how it impacts the business as a whole. By unifying data to enable the detection and identification of risks, enterprises can move to a more predictive threat model.

Unified Operations

Verint’s Situational Intelligence Platform consists of several modules that can be implemented separately or as part of the integrated platform.

One of the platform enhancements announced today is VMS One™. With this enhanced module, users gain a single, consolidated platform for the ISOC with video at the center and seamless correlation of sensors and alarms, allowing operators to immediately gain complete situational control while determining the appropriate intelligence-powered response. The solution fuses all relevant information, such as video, alarm notification, device state, analytics meta-data, search output and more, onto a dynamic GIS-map based interface, providing a clear and immediate picture of an incident and enabling faster and more efficient response. In addition to VMS One, the enhanced platform provides new capabilities in the Dispatch™, FaceDetect™ and Incident Management™ modules.

“As threats continue to grow in complexity, mission-critical organizations face significant challenges,” said Alan Stoddard, vice president and general manager, situational intelligence solutions, Verint. “Each component of our suite of solutions is a critical part of our intelligent security strategy developed to address customer requirements for a more effective, intelligent approach to security operations and risk management. Now, our customers are equipped with comprehensive options designed to further synchronize IT, cyber, and security operations across infrastructures and proactively address and mitigate modern-day threats.”

Global businesses operate in complex environments in which opportunities, requirements, and regulations can vary widely, change quickly, and evolve significantly over time. New technologies will continue to improve business operations, enhance strategic partnerships, and increase situational awareness. All of this is part of the effort to gain a more predictive risk model within the enterprise to prevent rather than react.
