The Situation

Unsafe borders endanger citizens and stifle economic growth

Combining the power of publicly available information (PAI) with an AI-based name matching solution can save lives and protect what matters most.
The Challenge

Cross-border activity has grown in both volume and complexity in recent years, but the goal remains the same — facilitating the movement of legitimate goods and travelers while keeping a country safe from harm. At the same time, the complexity of cross-border activity has expanded with the rise of global ecommerce and the increasing number of complex trade laws.

Border security professionals need to make rapid decisions at points of entry to disrupt the flow of illegal goods and persons, but outdated technology and limited data sources hinder their efforts. Multilingual data poses additional challenges for detecting and preventing terrorism, transnational crime, cybercrime, intellectual property theft, and counterfeit goods — all of which threaten a nation, its businesses, and its citizens.

The Babel Street Solution

Advances in AI make it possible to streamline and scale cross-border screening prior to and during entry, while incorporating multilingual PAI and text analytics for enhanced decision making.

Babel Street’s AI-enabled analytics technology offers repeatable processes for automatically screening entities against public records, watchlists, social media presence, and other factors.

Babel Street Insights helps you discover and decipher insights on entities that pose a threat or show evidence of IP infringements, theft, and economic espionage. Further exploration can isolate signals, proximity, and clusters of exit or entry.

Rosette makes it possible to rapidly screen names against watchlists with unprecedented accuracy across multiple languages and scripts.
