Two new wins reflect US momentum, with Cognyte on track to meet its goal of $20 million for the fiscal year

HERZLIYA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT) a global leader in AI-powered investigative analytics solutions, today announced contracts with two new law enforcement customers in the United States, a federal agency and a state agency. Both agencies will deploy Cognyte’s investigative analytics solutions to support field teams and analysts in operational missions including locating missing persons, helping them expose criminal networks, prevent terrorism and combat violent and organized crime.

U.S. law enforcement agencies face criminal and terror networks that operate across state and national borders and adapt quickly to evade detection. At the same time, the data relevant to investigations is growing faster than the teams available to analyze it. Agencies need to connect fragmented information and act on it with speed and accountability, driving the demand for Cognyte’s industry-leading solutions.

Across North America, agencies use Cognyte’s AI-powered investigative analytics to help dismantle organized crime networks, disrupt drug trafficking, locate missing persons and ensure public safety. The platform ensures the agency has data sovereignty, including built-in governance capabilities so that they gain insights that are secure, trusted and audited, helping accelerate investigations and expedite case resolution.

Demand for these capabilities is driving sustained growth in Cognyte’s U.S. business. Since the start of fiscal year 2027, the company has reached more than 80% of its goal to close $20 million in deals. Cognyte added nine new law enforcement customers across the region during this period and existing customers continue to expand across the Cognyte platform.

“Expanding our presence in the U.S. is one of our strategic priorities, and the concrete investments we have made in the region are paying off,” said Elad Sharon, Chief Executive Officer at Cognyte. “The addition of nine new customers, alongside expanding relationships with existing customers, reflects the strength of our technology and the demand across the region. Law enforcement agencies want AI-powered platforms built by people who understand investigative work, and where performance, accountability and auditability are inherent to the solution. More agencies are choosing Cognyte to stay ahead of threats and keep their communities safe. Agencies that evaluate what’s available are choosing Cognyte, and we see substantial opportunity ahead in North America.”

Key Terms

data sovereignty technical

Data sovereignty is the principle that digital information is subject to the laws and control of the country or entity where it is stored or processed. For investors, it matters because where data lives affects a company's legal obligations, costs, ability to sell services across borders, and exposure to government access or restrictions — like owning a house that must follow the rules of the town it sits in.
