Border Management

As international travel becomes more commonplace, securing a country’s borders from multiple threats becomes increasingly challenging. Threats range from individuals seeking to work illegally, to terrorist groups infiltrating a country. An effective border management solution enables the seamless information flow between stakeholders and facilitation of in-bound and out-bound travelers. The core objective is a secure and integrated solution that facilitates the movement of legitimate travelers, while strengthening security.

The Memex a SAS company solution will provide any borders agency with the ability to not only deliver a basic matching based border management system but a state of the art Risk scoring based solution that will enable unprecedented levels of risk assessment and reduction in false positives. This will enable the free flow of passengers through borders with limited disruption to the legitimate traveller, whilst ensuring that individuals potentially posing a risk that are not just present on watch lists are detected.

At the most basic level the requirement is for a low cost advanced passenger information matching solution which can accurately identify, match and confirm the identity of individuals. This approach alone is not enough to deliver an effective border management solution. With the millions of travelers flying around the world with multiple layovers, it simply isn’t possible to scrutinize every individual at each stage of their journey. Where officials need to stop individuals to gain further information, it is essential that those officials are given only the necessary information. In essence, a risk-based approach is needed which targets those individuals, households, flights and airports which require the greatest scrutiny. The Memex Solutions Team of SAS, is able to provide this capability.

The purpose of the solution is to implement a secured and integrated ICT system that enables seamless information flow and facilitation of in-bound and out-bound travelers, to and from any country.
