In January, SS8 offered an outlook on global lawful and location intelligence trends for 2024. Now, we revisit those insights and explore their impact on CSPs, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies.
The limited scope and rigid architectures of some lawful intelligence platforms can lead to expensive change orders. SS8 is built to scale on demand while minimizing cost and operational impact.
As 5G and 5G NR gain ground, more organizations are leveraging private mobile networks. Ensuring lawful intercept and other technologies can integrate and operate at such scale can unlock value.
SS8's iDossier provides a repository for multidimensional profiles of criminal individuals and organizations, with the ability to map, visualize, and draw insights from the relationships between them.
Factors that range from migration surges to political polarization contribute to geopolitical instability that may lead to sustained outbreaks of violence and mayhem.
Codes and ciphers have long been used to hide communications, and the practice continues to evolve and become more sophisticated and widespread today. When the
While lawful interception is often thought to have begun with wiretapping, pen registers actually predate that practice and telephones themselves, having been developed during the
The evolution of international 5G standards has brought increased privacy and security protections for users and data, which can be at odds with the needs
Communication service providers (CSPs) realize significant agility and cost benefits from cloud and edge deployment models made possible by cloud-native network architectures. Edge computing consumes
In the decades since it was first adopted in Western Europe, 112 has become the most prevalent emergency services number worldwide. While there are significant
The evolution of telecommunication industry standards has been marked by a steady and methodical progression of revision and refinement. The gradual nature of standards development
The transition from one year to the next is a natural time for assessment. At SS8, that appraisal helps illuminate the present state of lawful
As emerging technologies such as the internet of things and autonomous vehicles expand the scope and volume of traffic transmitted over public communications networks, new
National border crossings provide unique touchpoints for lawful intelligence operations. Controls at a country’s points of ingress and egress require travelers to present identification, submit
Mobile devices have long been capable of peer-to-peer networking using their built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular radios. The technical term for this connectivity is Sidelink,
Generally, people have a greater expectation of privacy at home than in public, and rightfully so. Regulatory measures such as search warrants protect those expectations
Vertical positioning is critical for location intelligence and emergency response in large, dense urban areas. Longitude and latitude alone are not enough to identify a
Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) are at the forefront of every communication service provider’s (CSP) efforts to build a loyal subscriber
As the scope of digital information generated by subjects and devices of interest continues to grow, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) must evolve their techniques for
Identifying the physical locations of emergency callers is critical to delivering public safety services. When callers to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) can’t accurately provide
In the past decade, there has been amazing growth in the amount of data available on individuals, their communications, and their patterns of life, but
Communication service providers (CSPs) all over the world are obligated to provide law enforcement agencies (LEAs) with customer communications data, only when its interception is
Kubernetes and Next-Generation Lawful Intelligence Deployment This is an era of unprecedented evolution for communication service providers’ (CSPs) network environments. While expensive, inflexible, single-purpose equipment—with
Secure provisioning, monitoring, mediation, and handover of lawfully intercepted data have long been critical considerations for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) in the design and buildout
Cell site simulators (CSS) are an important tool used by law enforcement around the world to track down fugitives, find missing persons and to investigate
