BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) announced today its latest series of
security-related milestones, including a major win in border
protection and the launches of leading-edge technologies to help
enterprises protect their data and operations from the growing
specter of cybercrime.
Made in conjunction with National Cyber Security Awareness Month
in the U.S. as well as security-related events the company is
sponsoring this week, today's announcements include:
- A contract from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of the
Department of Homeland Security, to modernize the agency's
technology for identifying people and vehicles entering and exiting
the U.S. The Integrated Traveler Initiatives contract was awarded
as a task order under the Department of Homeland Security's EAGLE
II contract. See release here.
- The launch of Unisys Digital Investigator™, a crime
investigation system enabling law enforcement agencies to share
critical crime investigation information across applications and
agency boundaries. Unisys will demo Digital Investigator, part of
the company's "Safe Cities" initiative for increasing law
enforcement agencies' access to real-time data that can help
prevent and combat crime, this week at the annual International
Association of Chiefs of Police conference in San Diego. See release here.
- The launch of a new Appointment Manager solution for financial
services institutions, to be integrated with Unisys
Stealth® micro-segmentation security software and
available via the Microsoft Azure public cloud platform, to manage
all aspects of a customer's appointment from initial contact to
automated reminders and through to completion of the appointment.
See release here.
- The results of a recent ethical hacking event sponsored by the
University of Hawaii, at which roughly
100 contestants – including skilled professionals from the FBI and
the Army National Guard, with advisors from the NSA acting as
"coaches" – failed to access a computerized document protected by
Stealth or even detect its presence on the network. See release
here.
"These milestones serve to highlight Unisys' unmatched focus on
securing the data and operations of organizations across industries
ranging from financial services and travel and transportation to
government and life sciences," said Inder
M. Singh, chief strategy and marketing officer for Unisys.
"These announcements are particularly significant in light of this
week's theme as part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month in
the U.S.: 'Recognizing and Combating Cybercrime.' The high-value
software, services and solutions Unisys brings to its global
markets today offer much-needed ammunition in this fight."
