Nice Expands European Security Operations with HySecurity Division

In a significant move that bolsters its growth in the critical infrastructure security landscape, Nice, a global technology leader in Smart Living solutions, has announced the structured introduction of its HySecurity division into the European market. Known for its exceptional offerings in high-security solutions, the HySecurity division specializes in high-security gates, barriers, and hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) mechanisms, reinforcing Nice’s presence in this vital sector. This expansion aligns with the growing emphasis on physical security in Europe, amidst escalating concerns over infrastructure protection.

HySecurity, which has been part of the Nice family since 2016, brings with it a wealth of expertise gathered over more than six decades in hydraulic gate operators and crash-rated barriers. The division caters to high-security and critical infrastructure sites such as airports, government facilities, and data centers, operating under a promise to keep individuals and infrastructures secure, thereby facilitating the smooth flow of everyday life.

Until recently, HySecurity products were primarily accessible to European clients on a project-by-project basis. However, with the recent CE certification of its initial product range, the company is now aiming for a more structured market approach in Europe. This initiative is backed by local commercial and technical teams, alongside the extensive network of installers and system integrators that the Group has established over the years. As the European market values freedom of movement while ensuring safety, Nice's solutions underscore the essence of Smart Living by extending it to critical societal infrastructures.

The urgency for enhanced security measures is influenced by various factors, including the evolving regulatory landscape. The European Commission’s proposed Public Procurement Act emphasizes the need for resilience and security within critical sectors, aligning with recent movements like CER and NIS2 that aim to strengthen infrastructure resilience across the continent. With data centers increasingly being recognized as Critical National Infrastructure in the UK, the demand for systems adept at merging physical security with operational reliability is on the rise.

To address this demand, Nice is showcasing three CE-certified solutions that are now available in Europe at the upcoming International Security Expo 2026, scheduled to be held on September 29-30 at Olympia London. These solutions include:

• - StrongArm® M30/M50: A crash-rated HVM barrier arm designed for high-security environments.
• - SlideDriver™ II: This hydraulic slide gate operator ensures safe and efficient access control in various settings.
• - HydraSwing®: A robust hydraulic swing gate operator that offers durability and reliability for high-security applications.

All these solutions are integrated within the Nice access control and connectivity ecosystem, allowing high-security access points to seamlessly operate within a wider site management framework. The integration of such advanced systems not only enhances security protocols but also maintains operational efficiency within public and private spaces.

In addition to the newly introduced solutions, Nice will also display its established automation products at the expo, including the Titan 6024HS high-speed swing gate operator and the M5 Bar road barrier, affirming its commitment to providing comprehensive security solutions to its clients.

As Nice steps into this new phase of its European operations, the emphasis remains on the importance of safeguarding critical infrastructures while ensuring that societies can thrive without disruption. By aligning its offerings with the imperative need for enhanced security mechanisms, Nice is proving to be a pivotal player in the European security market and a steadfast ally to those tasked with the responsibility of securing vital infrastructure.
