Nice Enhances Its Security Solutions for Critical Infrastructure in Europe with HySecurity Division

Nice Strengthens Its European Security Portfolio with HySecurity

Nice Group, a renowned technology company specializing in Smart Living solutions, has recently announced a significant enhancement to its European operations through its HySecurity division. This initiative aims to bolster safety measures for critical infrastructures by introducing a new range of certified products specifically designed to combat vehicle attacks. The unveiling of these innovative solutions will occur at the upcoming International Security Expo 2026, scheduled for September 29-30 in London.

Focus on Security for Critical Infrastructure

After becoming a part of the Nice conglomerate, HySecurity brings over 60 years of expertise in perimeter security, particularly in addressing the needs of airports, government facilities, utilities, correctional institutions, data centers, and other critical sectors. With a history that dates back to the 1960s and its headquarters located near Seattle, HySecurity specializes in hydraulic gate operators and crash-rated barriers tailored for high-security environments.

The expansion into the European market reflects a growing demand for robust security solutions—especially in light of recent legislation emphasizing resilience in public infrastructure. As various sectors including logistics, energy, and public safety navigate the complexities of heightened threats, Nice is committed to delivering effective solutions that allow for seamless traffic flow while ensuring safety.

Solutions to Be Showcased at International Security Expo 2026

At the expo, Nice plans to present three CE-certified products including:

1. StrongArm® M30/M50: A crash-tested HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) barrier arm that effectively stops heavy-duty and passenger vehicles and is certified for continuous operation.
2. SlideDriver™ II: A hydraulic slide gate operator capable of managing gates up to 9,072 kg, featuring remote monitoring and diagnostics functionalities.
3. HydraSwing®: A hydraulic swing gate operator designed for high-use applications, facilitating gates weighing up to 6,804 kg and lengths of up to 12 meters, while maintaining reliability and security.

These products are integrable within Nice's broader ecosystem for access control, which enhances operational efficiency and site management, ensuring a fortified response to security challenges.

Meeting the Demand for Enhanced Security

As the focus on physical infrastructure protection intensifies in Europe, the transportation hubs, energy and water networks, data centers, and public spaces confront a pressing challenge: enhancing protection without disrupting the flow of traffic or operations. The European Commission's recent legislative initiatives prioritize resilience and supply security, highlighting the need for integrated systems that provide physical safety, controlled access, and operational continuity.

Alessandro Spagnol, the head of the Gate Door division at Nice, stated, “The International Security Expo represents a pivotal opportunity to showcase how Nice is expanding its role in protecting critical infrastructures across Europe. By combining HySecurity's technical expertise with Nice's local presence, we are well-prepared to tackle crucial challenges facing infrastructure operators.”

With this strategic move, Nice aims to not only meet but exceed the expectations of both security and infrastructure stakeholders, ensuring that essential services remain operational and secure across Europe. As society increasingly relies on secure and reliable mobility, Nice’s commitment to safety and efficiency positions it as a leader in the evolving landscape of critical infrastructure protection.
