Est. Completion None
Status
No Responsive Documents

From: Christopher Bing


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Product brochures, Powerpoint presentations, flyers and other promotional business documents about defense and technology company Nice Systems Ltd. -- also known as "NICE" or "NICE's Cyber and Intelligence division" or "CYBERBIT LTD" or "CYBERBIT" or "Elbit Systems Ltd." -- describing products and/or services relating to offensive cybersecurity, surveillance, electronic warfare, virtual operations, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The focus of the requests involves product documents that may carry terminology/keywords/descriptions such as: Computer Network Operations (CNO), Computer Network Exploitation (CNE), Computer Network Attacks (CNA), cyber intelligence and signals intelligence (SIGINT). NICE is an Israeli/American technology contractor that sells surveillance and internet monitoring capabilities. The firm has offices around the world, including in the United States, but it is primarily managed from Israel. NICE is known for producing high-tech products for national security and law enforcement agencies to help them conduct surveillance against threats, including terrorism and criminal entities. NICE' cyber and intelligence division was acquired by Elbit Systems Ltd., via a subsidiary called CYBERBIT, in 2015; meaning that references to NICE's technology may carry that name as well, especially more recently.

This FOIA seeks any materials produced by the contractor to explain/sell/market their cyber intelligence capabilities/offerings to the U.S. government between the years 2014 and 2020 (or the current date of review). Such material would be likely held/controlled by the appropriate business contracting office within the agency and/or other divisions that make purchase/contracting decisions. NICE/Elbit have tried to sell their products to various different US security organizations in the past.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Christopher Bing

Good afternoon,

As mentioned previously it's being worked with another office in our agency to provide a response. They have not completed what they need to. Once that occurs then it has to be reviewed by the FOIA office and worked on. Thank you for your patience.
