17) Smarter Border Security using Big Data

I have worked on designing Big Data solutions for various industries. My area of particular interest has been Border Security Solutions. There is immense scope to improve the border security solutions by use of various traditional & Big Data sources & make the security solutions smarter, more robust & predictive.

Any country's border can be penetrated by land, air & water through legal and illegal means. So a border security solution needs to consider more non-traditional data sources apart from the existing data sources.

1) Collection of critical surveillance data using sensor technology - Today various types of sensors, videos camera and connectivity solutions have become far more affordable and the data can be collected remotely, transmitted to a central server and processed in a speedy manner to get insights into various security factors that need to be analyzed for security of borders.

2) Telecom Data- Call Data Records,  Tower Data & User Data from telecommunication providers can be monitored and analyzed for identifying and tracking 'potential security threats'.

3) Voice & Data Analysis - Analysis of voice & data in the border areas can provide information about potential threats and breaches in the border area and most of the borders area already use this data for intercepting threat
communication.

4) Social Media Data- Analysis of data from social-media, blogs and internet call services can help in identifying discussions and profiles that could be involved in objectionable activities related to border areas.

5) Transport Data - Knowledge of vehicle owners & tracking of vehicles in the border areas can provide additional data that can be related to various security breaches and identify any new vehicle in the area. Will this information a mechanism can be defined to sanitize vehicle moving in and across borders.

6) People Data - Biometrics data of the residents of border areas should be used to identify 'new people' who have moved in the area. People movement along with various other threat data can be used to identify security threats and also help predict potential security breaches in border area

7) GPS data is collected by border security agencies and used for various objectives. A big Data solution can help analyze the GPS data to potential security threats as well as to help position security personal on the border thus enabling optimum use of security infrastructure

) Finally Big Data Analytics of the said data sources should help build a comprehensive analytics dashboard that can be used by border agency as well as the security personal that protect  the borders using hand held devices.  I would like to discuss Big Data Analytics and Mobile devices in more detail because this is one of the fastest growing areas of Big Data & Mobile.
