HERZLIYA, Israel -- (Business Wire)

Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT (“Cognyte”), a global leader in investigative analytics software, today announced that one of the largest state law enforcement agencies in the United States has selected Cognyte in a contract valued at approximately $5 million. The agency will deploy Cognyte’s tactical SIGINT solution to support mission-critical investigations and real-time field operations across its state. The win represents a new customer for Cognyte in the U.S., displacing an incumbent provider and laying the foundation for future expansion across Cognyte’s investigative analytics platform.

In addition to supporting its own special operations teams, the agency aids smaller law enforcement organizations across the state. Special agents will use the solution in the field to support time-sensitive missions such as fugitive apprehension, cases of missing children, criminal investigations and search and rescue operations.

Operating across a large geographic territory and diverse operational environments, the agency also confronts challenges such as cross-border smuggling and other complex criminal activity. By delivering real-time, actionable intelligence directly to agents in the field, the deployment will enhance coordination across jurisdictions and improve the agency’s ability to support joint operations and respond effectively when local agencies require additional resources.

“The U.S. law enforcement market is committing resources to advance its investigative and tactical capabilities to enable time-sensitive field operations at scale,” said Erik Sachwitz, General Manager of North American at Cognyte. “This selection by one of the largest state law enforcement agencies in the country demonstrates the clear operational value Cognyte’s technology delivers in mission-critical environments.”

“Winning against an established incumbent highlights the strength of our innovation in investigative analytics and our ability to deliver faster, more precise intelligence in the field,” said Elad Sharon, chief executive officer at Cognyte. “This win is a strong validation of our growth strategy in North America, establishing a new Tier-1 customer and creating a pathway for potential expansions as the agency scales its intelligence capabilities.”
