Marinus Analytics Showcases AI-Driven Border Security Innovation, Traffic Jam, at the World Border Security Congress

Marinus Analytics will showcase its flagship platform, Traffic Jam, at the World Border Security Congress, highlighting how open-source data, advanced analytics, and applied AI can transform the fight against human trafficking and transnational criminal networks at the world’s borders.

As border agencies worldwide confront increasingly sophisticated criminal operations, Traffic Jam provides investigators with a powerful, ethical, and scalable solution for identifying victims, uncovering trafficking networks, and accelerating case development. Built over more than a decade and with input from law enforcement users, victim-centred NGOs and former human trafficking victims, and grounded in years of field-tested research and deployment in multiple jurisdictions, Traffic Jam leverages AI-assisted search, data fusion, and pattern detection to turn fragmented online information into actionable intelligence.

Empowering Border Agencies with Actionable Intelligence

Traffic Jam supports border and migration authorities by:
• Identifying potential trafficking victims in online data, helping agencies intervene more effectively, including pre-travel, and at points of entry.
• Revealing links between vulnerable individuals and the criminal networks they may be caught up in, enabling intelligence teams to track movement, connections, and operational footprints of traffickers.
• Reducing investigative time from hours to minutes, allowing frontline personnel at the border to focus on decision-making rather than further data collection.
• Supporting victim-centred outcomes, ensuring that technology accelerates identification and recovery of potential victims who are travelling, while upholding strict privacy and ethical standards.

“Border agencies are on the front lines of combating human trafficking,” said Ian Kearns, Chief Strategy Officer of Marinus Analytics. “Traffic Jam equips them with the intelligence they need to disrupt criminal networks and protect vulnerable individuals, all while maintaining the highest standards of responsible use of AI.”

A Proven Global Impact
Traffic Jam is used by agencies across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, contributing to thousands of victim identifications and generating leads that have supported major trafficking and organized-crime investigations. Its success stems from a close partnership model: Marinus works directly with investigators to refine tools, integrate emerging data sources, and ensure the platform evolves alongside real-world threats.
