It is no secret that Covid19 has swept the planet, severely impacting global supply chains and increasing the strain on nations’ technical and human resources. This makes it difficult for national enforcement agencies to maintain the integrity of Coastal Security. This unprecedented situation has created the optimal conditions for organized crime to intensify their efforts in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, the smuggling of weapons and other illegal contraband, and human trafficking. We constantly hear news about the devastating consequences that maritime fraudulent activity can have on businesses, supply chains, and human lives. While prevention and tracking of terrorism continue to be a key driver in national security frameworks, it is now clear that critical ‘daily’ issues involving maritime criminal activities must be taken into consideration and form an integral part of national security programs, putting technology at the core of this strategy by leveraging AI and ML to out-innovate criminals.

Why AI and ML?

Existing manual verification methods are time-consuming, prone to human error, resource-demanding, and can only target a limited percentage of millions of daily transactions. Furthermore, adjustment for a constantly changing modus operandi is slow and sub-optimal. In 2021, Artificial Intelligence has become an invaluable ally in the battle against smuggling and fraud; the slow but steady recovery of the global economy following the rollout of the Covid19 vaccines presents an opportunity to upgrade the way countries move goods across coastal ports, resulting in a more efficient, cost-effective response to border security challenges.
