Cognyte Signs ~$20 Million AI-Powered Expansion with EMEA National Security Customer

Expansion deepens long-standing partnership, adds capacity and introduces agentic automation to accelerate investigations

HERZLIYA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT), a global leader in AI-powered investigative analytics solutions, today announced an approximately $20 million expansion agreement with a long-standing national security customer in the Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) region. The agreement adds new agentic decision flows to the agency's investigative analytics platform, alongside expanded infrastructure capacity to support the agency's complex mission demands.

Agencies are under growing pressure to safeguard national security, borders and public safety against sophisticated adversaries in an environment shaped by massive volumes of diverse data, and rapidly evolving technologies. As threats grow more distributed and harder to anticipate, agencies need analytics infrastructure they operate under their own control, that can scale and adapt quickly to new capabilities without sacrificing speed or accuracy and with proper governance controls. Demand is growing for purpose-built AI that automates investigative work and produces intelligence that analysts can explain and act on.

Cognyte's agentic workflows combine investigative methodologies with AI execution frameworks to automate repetitive analysis across large, disparate datasets. The result is faster access to explainable, contextual, auditable and operationally actionable insights. This moves agencies from data to decision faster so they can quickly scale to meet their missions.

“Expanding with agencies we already serve is a key pillar of our growth strategy,” said Elad Sharon, Chief Executive Officer at Cognyte. “Our long-standing relationship reflects the trust this agency has placed in our platform over many years. The agency’s continued adoption of our purpose-built, AI-powered analytic capabilities accelerates its ability to scale investigative operations and automate critical workflows to address increasingly complex mission needs and help safeguard its nation.”
