Gabon has chosen online security firm Gemalto to help implement an integrated system for the country’s homeland security personnel to manage border clearance and visa application processes.
Gemalto said Tuesday it will base the infrastructure on the company’s Coesys Visa and Border Management System, which is designed to alert authorities of potential security risks.
The integrated system will comprise a visa management system for Gabonese authorities to process electronic visas and resident permits and a border intelligence module that works to identify and examine risk patterns.
Amsterdam-based Gemalto works with government and commercial organizations to help them secure financial, mobile, cloud computing, healthcare and transportation systems.
The company’s portfolio includes cryptographic, authentication, encryption and digital credential management technology offerings.
