It has been widely demonstrated that the most effective approach to port security, both from a cost standpoint and an overall interdiction standpoint, is one that focuses upon deterrence, prevention and rapid detection of criminal activity. Such an approach requires an understanding of the range of potential vulnerabilities to port operations, and the nature and significance of the threat they represent. 

iAware™ Seaport applies our behavior predictive algorithm to develop malicious intent awareness via video analytics to the protection of both water side and land side maritime port operations. Unlike the risks faced by commercial air operations, maritime cargo and vessels are at significantly higher risk to be targeted by organized criminal organizations engaged in theft of specific cargo, human trafficking and smuggling of aliens, importation of illicit drugs and terrorism.

iAware™ Seaport employs our patented situational understanding and intent-based analysis systems to provide real-time detection of activities indicating malicious intent. Intention Awareness in port operations gives iAware™ Seaport the position of superiority over competitive products that have no access to our patented systems, providing actionable intelligence from direct observation and extrapolation of intent from actors and their actions. 

This provides increased security against maritime terrorism, drug smuggling, stowaways, human trafficking and alien smuggling; while increasing both personnel and cargo security. 

iAware™ detects activities indicating malicious intent, thereby alerting marine patrols to sabotage threats to vessels in port, sea robberies or unauthorized attempts to access vessels.

On the land side of operations, iAware™ Seaport can oversee access to cargo and warehouses to deter cargo theft, while concurrently monitoring movement of both passengers and port personnel to identify human trafficking or drug or currency smuggling activities. 

These algorithms are augmented with real-time video analysis for anomaly detection (identifying abnormal behavior which might otherwise go unnoticed, such as wrong direction detection for vehicles and actors), specific movement detection (such as line crossing, loitering, person running, etc), unattended object detection (such as vehicles that have been left in unauthorized places or bags that have been left unattended) and a host of other potential threats.
