Innovation is no longer optional in modern security – it is essential. As organizations across the globe face increasingly complex security challenges, they need solutions built on proven expertise, advanced technology, and an unwavering commitment to quality. They also need partners they can trust.
That is exactly what Intelligent Security Systems (ISS) has delivered for nearly three decades.
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Woodbridge, New Jersey, ISS represents the best of American innovation, engineering discipline, and entrepreneurial spirit. From helping a small confectioner count chocolates on an assembly line to providing end-to-end vehicle screening for some of the world’s largest events – including the FIFA World Cup – ISS has grown into a global leader in AI-powered video intelligence. Its deployments span more than 50 countries across six continents. Today, millions of cameras worldwide run on ISS software, helping governments, transportation agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises make smarter security decisions every day.

Engineered to U.S. Standards for Reliability and Resilience
ISS solutions are designed and engineered with the rigor, discipline, and performance expectations associated with U.S. technology standards. In mission-critical environments, security systems must do more than function—they must remain reliable, resilient, and scalable under demanding real-world conditions.
That is why ISS builds its solutions with a strong focus on system stability, operational continuity, and long-term performance. Whether deployed in airports, seaports, transportation networks, smart cities, government facilities, or enterprise campuses, ISS technologies are engineered to support high-availability operations where downtime is not an option.
This commitment to reliability reflects the company’s American engineering culture: practical innovation, robust architecture, disciplined quality control, and continuous improvement. By combining American expertise with global deployment experience, ISS delivers technology that is not only advanced, but dependable – supporting organizations that require security infrastructure capable of performing today and adapting for tomorrow.
Recognized Export Excellence
ISS’s global success has earned recognition from both industry and government organizations. In 2024, NASBITE International named ISS an “Outstanding Exporter” at its Eighth Annual National Small Business Exporter Summit, honoring the company’s exceptional export growth and innovative approach to international business. The award highlights ISS’s ability to expand globally while maintaining the quality, reliability, and innovation of American technology leadership—and to compete successfully with major global technology companies by delivering solutions tailored to diverse regional and industry needs.
ISS’s international achievements have been further recognized with the President’s “E-Award” from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the highest U.S. honor for export excellence. Established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, the award recognizes companies that strengthen the U.S. economy through international growth and job creation.
Notably, ISS has earned the President's E-Award twice (2020 and 2024)
And now holds E-Star status – a distinction reserved for companies that demonstrate sustained, continued excellence in export expansion after receiving the initial honor. Together with NASBITE's Outstanding Exporter award, this recognition underscores ISS's commitment to innovation, global expansion, and supporting American economic growth.
A Global Footprint Built on American Values
The story of ISS demonstrates how American innovation can create meaningful impact worldwide. From its headquarters in New Jersey, ISS has expanded to 19 offices around the globe, building a truly international presence while maintaining the principles that drive successful American businesses: innovation, resilience, customer focus, and a commitment to excellence.
This global network gives ISS the regional reach to support customers around the world directly, pairing local engagement with the strength of American engineering and a global footprint.
As organizations seek smarter ways to enhance security, improve situational awareness, and leverage artificial intelligence, ISS continues to deliver trusted solutions backed by decades of expertise and a proven track record of success. ISS is not only a leader in security technology; it is a proud example of American innovation competing and winning on the global stage.
