ISDS chosen to serve as security integrator for 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, in a deal worth 2.2 billion dollars.
The Israeli company, International Security and Defense Systems (ISDS) will be serving as IT systems and security integrator in the forthcoming summer Olympics in Brazil in 2016. This represents an unprecedented achievement for Israel.
ISDS’s operations during the games will run from consulting to security supply systems. “The challenge is great,” Ron Shafran, vice president of the company, said to Israel Defense. “As seen in the media around the world, security in Brazil is a challenge, but we’re already coordinating with crews in Israel, as well as Brazil and Europe.
In regard to preparation, Shafran said: “The crews are working on constructing the fields, with security in mind, as well the construction of technological systems to be installed in all facilities. These facilities are located in Rio and in four other regions throughout Brazil.”
“Games begin on August 5, 2016 and will continue until December 2016, including the the Special Olympics ” Shafran added.
The deal for ISDS’s services was estimated at 2.2 billion dollars.
ISDS’s company name will appears on the official website of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 as one of the sponsors of the event, along with the names of multinational companies like Symantec, EMC and more.
Shafran said the Olympics offer a rare opportunity and platform for Israeli companies to take part in providing security.
“We very much want to take this platform and integrate Israeli technologies with international technologies, thereby providing unique responses to specific problems – from intelligence to perimeter, crowd control, and so forth. We hope these games will provide a hotbed of Israeli technological solutions to security issues.”
“We emphasize small companies with big solutions, in order to give them the stage to present their capabilities and serve as a showcase to the world, despite having a market that is hard to enter.”

Uh, oh. Brazil’s in trouble now.
I do not understand why they agreed to it in the first place. Please explain.
Sounds pretty stupid if u ask me. They will be in the perfect position to look the other way like the airport security
Kick backs. Brazil is fond of doing business this way. They never learn. Another acronym to remember. I wonder if they will screw up as bad as they did during the Brits Olympics?
International Security and Defense Systems (ISDS) is operating in Central and South America for several years now.They even have an office in Rio and are in charge of security services in a number of important brasilian enterprises like Petrobras,Itaipú Binacional,World Coup 2014,Pan American Games 2007,etc.The Integrated Security and Control system now widely publisized by the government is perhaps one of the most important and sensitive project and depends directly from the Minister of Defense.It wil link all the mayor securities services including the military into one centralized entity and will have complete brasilian territory coverage (the largest cities).
In Argentina they already take care of Policia de la Provincia de Buenos Aires,Prefectura Naval Argentina (a military branch),Yaciretá hidroelectrical complex,Aeropuertos Argentina 2000,etc
So you can figure out the degree of infiltration this company has in our countries.All ends up in big kickbacks and paid trips to Holy Land.
