The Situation
Unsafe borders endanger citizens and stifle economic growth
Combining the power of publicly available information (PAI) with AI-based name matching enables integrated border management
The Challenge
Cross-border activity has grown in both volume and complexity, but the goal remains the same — facilitating the movement of legitimate goods and travelers while keeping a country safe from harm. Frontline personnel face the daunting task of quickly identifying and mitigating numerous evolving threats across diverse and dynamic environments every day.
Further compounding these efforts are sophisticated and well-financed terrorist and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that exploit the latest communication technologies and PAI for their illegal cross-border activities. Border security professionals must make rapid decisions at points of entry to disrupt the flow of illegal goods and bad actors, but outdated technology, tight budgets, and limited data sources hinder their efforts.
