Business Challenge

The client was facing significant challenges in ensuring the security of borders and preventing the entry of suspicious travelers. Being a critical aspect of national security for many countries, it was crucial to collect and analyze intelligence on potential threats and suspicious travelers. Therefore there was a need to build an advanced risk assessment system capable of validating traveler documents, verifying information against watch-list registries, and providing smooth allow/deny decisions for passenger boarding.
