Case Study: Major Middle Eastern Country enhances border security and automatically screens 100,000+ travelers daily with SITA iBorders RiskManagement

Identifying known and unknown threats through actionable intelligence

Major Middle Eastern Country needed to strengthen border targeting to protect legitimate travel, tourism and trade while overcoming poor-quality name data, language ambiguity and fragmented interagency processes. SITA’s iBorders RiskManagement was selected to provide watch-list matching, risk assessment and cross‑agency intelligence to identify high‑risk passengers throughout the passenger journey.

SITA implemented iBorders RiskManagement with watch-list management, advanced matching, profiling and investigation support, enabling the country to automatically assess well over 100,000 travelers every day. The solution links previously under‑utilized data sources, delivers actionable intelligence via secure mobile interfaces for multiple agencies, improves identification of known and unknown high‑risk travelers and reduces the number of ineligible travelers entering or departing the country.
