AI is transforming smuggling detection by predicting high-risk shipments through analysis of various textual data. The emerging frontier is image-recognition algorithms trained on thousands of X-ray images annotated by experts. As smuggling techniques get more sophisticated, so too must our methods of detection.

Take a look at the S2U website’s special feature, Global Smuggling Trends Report . This interacti...

AI’s success should be built upon a solid foundation of appropriate inputs, including a significant body of scanned images and the appropriate algorithms to guide machine learning towards reasonable, accurate outcomes. 

But there is no escaping the reality that the event-day experience also is a big influence on whether fans choose to return or stay away from your venue or event.

S2U enhances security programs offering unique, tailored learning management systems that use real-world scenarios and images.

Developing true command and control in security operations can lead to breakthrough improvements, but it requires emphasizing the quality of data as much as the quantity of people or goods moving through the security process.

The secret sauce to effective training is deploying real-world scenarios and information, delivered by trainers with hands-on operational experience.

“The most sophisticated machines become worthless if the people who operate them and visually inspect the x-ray images are not qualified to do so.” — International Journal of Ergonomics

Every port, no matter how large or small, can implement near-100 percent of containerized cargo screening.

The latest issue of Accelerate focuses on topics and trends in achieving security screening efficiency and success in the Customs and border environment. 

"An OSI cargo scanner turned up the drugs, worth about $5 million, by detecting a secret compartment hidden beneath a load of cucumbers."

Our S2 Global team at the Albanian border in Kapshticë identified one ton of marijuana in a container with a manifest that listed its contents as bran. The government of Albania stated that this was the largest seizure of marijuana in recent years.
