HCL Security Collaborates With Cisco to Help Enable Safer and More Secure Communities
WASHINGTON, DC, Nov 23, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
HCL Security announced today that it has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Cisco to collaborate on delivering IP-based
safety and security solutions to help enable safer and more secure
communities. The collaboration will combine the strengths of Cisco's
Smart+Connected Communities leadership with HCL Security's 'Safe
State' architecture to deliver safety and security solutions in India
initially and later in other countries.
Cisco Smart+Connected Safety and Security solutions address the
growing complexity of protecting citizens, critical infrastructure,
and key assets by enabling the construction of a common security
operations picture while helping to ensure full integration and
interoperability between different functional parts of the security
system. HCL Security's Safe State is an architecture that offers
integrated urban safety and security technology solutions with
policing and enabling actionable intelligence to make a city secure
and safe.
"Cisco envisages a future where successful communities and cities
will run on networked information, and where information technology
will help the world better manage its challenges. We recognize that
the mission of public safety and security is at the heart of economic
capacity, potential, and growth. For a city or community to grow,
thrive, and attract human and financial capital, it needs to be
highly secure. Cisco's Smart+Connected Safety and Security solutions
enhance the capabilities of emergency and security personnel by
employing next-level infrastructure, technology, services, and
platforms to create intelligent, enduring solutions. Our
collaboration with HCL Security and its Safe State architecture will
help us better address safety and security projects and customer
requirements," said Dave Stone, vice president, Safety and Security,
Smart+Connected Communities, Cisco.
"HCL Security is committed to deploying an integrated technology
approach to enable safer and more secure cities. HCL Safe State
marries hi-tech security and surveillance with intelligence and
policing -- the three key pillars to this integrated approach to
secure an entire state, city or large, significant establishments.
Our collaboration with a likeminded global technology pioneer like
Cisco will enable us to jointly provide best in class security
solutions," said Rothin Bhattacharyya, CEO, HCL Security. He added,
"The role of integrated systems in today's security environment
cannot be over emphasized. Technology when used effectively has the
ability to increase the security of cities manifold. Such integrated
systems lead not only to prevention but also provide a better
response mechanism to minimize the damage to life and property. Our
collaboration with Cisco is a huge step in providing such integrated,
best in class systems, in India and in other markets."
The vision of the collaboration is to combine the complementary
capabilities of Cisco and HCL Security. Cisco brings value through
its expertise and experience in network and physical security which is
enabled by the network as the core platform. With the addition of the
collaboration and datacenter technologies Cisco can provide a holistic
approach for safety and security enabled by the network in detecting,
assessing and responding to security threats. HCL Security brings
strengths of market leadership and national reach in addition to its
extensive systems integration and support network. As part of the
collaboration, HCL Security will use Cisco technologies to build a
state of the art Command & Control Centre for next-generation
security solutions that will provide customers with the features of
prevention, automated detection, analysis, and coordinated response
to incidents.
Cisco's Smart+Connected Communities initiative is designed to provide
cities and communities with smart and connected solutions for
utilities, safety and security, connected real estate, transportation,
health care, learning, sports venues and government services.
