The Secure Border Initiative is a comprehensive plan by the U.S. department of Homeland Security to gain operational control of the U.S. border through integration of increased staffing, interior enforcement, detection technology and infrastructure, and coordination on federal, state, local and international levels.

A critical component of SBI is SBInet, a program focused on transforming border control through technology and infrastructure. SBInet will provide frontline personnel advantages in securing the nation's land borders through the most effective integration of current and next generation technology, infrastructure, staffing and response platforms.

SBInet will be managed and executed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency and will be deployed using a homeland security threat-based approach.
