Modernizing Air Travel with Automated, Secure Border Control

With global air travel rebounded, airports face growing pressure to increase throughput, improve passenger experience, and maintain strict security standards. secunet, Germany’s leading cybersecurity and biometric solutions provider, is at the forefront of modern border automation, deploying next-generation biometric authentication across major European airports.

Deployed across key travel hubs like Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich, secunet’s automated border control systems use Paravision’s industry-leading face recognition to verify identities with speed, precision, and compliance with the European Entry/Exit System (EES). With a focus on automated eGates, biometric kiosks, and border control infrastructure, secunet’s solutions process millions of travelers every year—enhancing security and reducing wait times.

The Challenge: Securing High-Traffic Airports

Biometric authentication at the border must overcome:

  • High passenger volumes: As travel demand grows, traditional manual border processing creates bottlenecks.
  • Diverse demographics: Passport photos may be outdated, and travelers come from all over the world, requiring accurate and unbiased biometric matching.
  • Challenging environments: Variations in lighting, angles, and stress levels can affect facial recognition accuracy.
  • Security & compliance: Border security must balance fast throughput with fraud prevention and identity verification.

secunet’s Solution: A Fully Integrated Biometric Travel Experience

  • secunet easygate enables seamless, secure border crossings with biometric eGates that authenticate travelers in seconds using facial recognition and document verification.
  • secunet easykiosk streamlines border control by allowing travelers to pre-register biometric data through a self-service kiosk, reducing wait times and easing the workload for border officers.
  • secunet easytower captures high-quality biometric images thanks to its diffuse lighting. The fraud detection ensures accurate identity verification in airports, embassies and high-security zones.
