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.
Communication service provider (CSP) networks are becoming more dynamically defined and more distributed, particularly as 5G networks and the internet of things (IoT) are further
The World Health Organization estimates that about one in three women globally have been victims of physical and/or sexual violence. This violence ranges from domestic
Preventing low-level street crime is important not only to protect public safety and property, but also as an investigative gateway into larger criminal enterprises. Drug
Child abduction and trafficking is one of the most shocking crimes against society. Every parent has unfortunately had to consider the potential for their child
In general, 5G networks make gathering intelligence from digital communications more difficult due to factors such as encryption, increased traffic, and more diverse types of
Technical support is critical to the lawful intelligence mission, for both the mediation systems operated by communication service providers (CSPs) and the analytics and investigation
Until recently, most network security systems relied on robust perimeter defenses encircling an environment of trusted users and programs. Like a medieval walled city, this
The engineers responsible for communication service providers’ (CSPs) lawful interception systems must maintain and update their unique skill sets with ongoing training. The particular expertise
With just over 4 billion unique, public addresses in the IPv4 scheme and north of 10 billion devices today, many Communication Service Providers (CSPs) assign
The lawful interception and mediation programs that communications service providers (CSPs) are mandated to integrate into their platforms fulfill a social responsibility as well as
Encrypted Over The Top (OTT) messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, and Telegram have seen extraordinary adoption over the past 10 years. WhatsApp in
Today’s lawful intelligence measures draw on a long legacy of intercepted communications. And while the days of simple wiretaps are long gone, the foundational idea
The massive, ever-growing role of social networks in human communication comes with a unique set of hazards. In particular, the layer of concealment provided by
As the volume, variety, and velocity of data potentially available to lawful intelligence grows exponentially, the control mechanisms that govern its interception become more critical.
Distributed 5G network topologies have forever forced mediation for lawful interception out beyond the network core. As computing moves closer to the subscriber, mediation nodes
Just a tiny fraction of cryptocurrency transactions are related to criminal activity, but they are still a critical mechanism for payment associated with crimes that
Technology developments for telecommunications networks often add more challenges than benefits for lawful intelligence operations. Separating the noise from the signal in massive 5G data
It’s an irony of this moment that, even as 5G networks increase the amount of data on public networks by orders of magnitude, the technology
As communication service providers (CSPs) continue to build out 5G networks, standards-based infrastructure is replacing the proprietary interfaces, formats, and protocols of previous technology generations.
Most telecommunications carriers operate equipment from different generations of technology, and often have multiple vendor environment. Carriers can accrete these layers over time, as their
