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.
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more common, they are of growing interest to law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Drones have been widely adopted as part
As 5G networks roll out across the world, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are being forced to reimagine investigation methods related to lawful intelligence. The types
The metadata that surrounds the data payloads for lawful intelligence intercepts has become as important as the payload data itself. Location data, for example, can
Successive generations of technology continue to enable the discovery, assembly, and analysis of information that plays a key role in every law-enforcement investigation. Digitization helped
The history of lawful intelligence runs a parallel course to the evolution of communications technology, from wiretaps placed on mechanical switches in the last century
We are in an intensive era of cloud adoption by communication service providers (CSPs) for 5G networks. This shift is driven by the need for
The introduction of 5G, high bandwidth services, and new applications mark a new, intensive era of cloud adoption by communication service providers (CSPs) for their
The process of deploying and integrating solutions for lawful interception, handover, and analysis of network data is complex, but well-charted. Looking carefully at previously completed
With the increased attention to information privacy in recent years, a majority of electronic communications are now encrypted. Having that information irretrievably hidden creates novel
As billions of IoT devices are provisioned, their multitude of roles are mirrored by their complex impact on lawful intelligence. Endpoints that range from consumer
The evolution of wide-area networking continues to drive processing out to the network edge. That trend first gained traction with widespread cloud adoption, and it
Two Decades of Lawful Interception Technology Innovation A couple of weeks ago, our marketing team let me know that SS8 was going to be 20
Many have used the terms uplink and downlink and they may become more colorful when our video calls drop off. But are “uplink” and “downlink”
Having location capabilities in a mobile network was originally an afterthought. The first Global System for Mobile (GSM) network was launched in Finland in 1991
Overview There are two broad types of surveillance capabilities and they are classified as Targeted Intercept and Bulk (Mass) Intercept. Targeted interception, or targeted surveillance,
For the last 50 years, the telecom industry has been happily providing technology for people to make voice calls, and to assure proper accounting they
5G is the most exciting new technology when it comes to wireless communications. Just like when 4G/LTE enabled many application developments that changed the way
In March of 2018 U.S. Congress passed the CLOUD Act, which addressed a growing issue for domestic and international law enforcement, Internet service operators (such
The 5G world is upon us! Which means Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) have a headache: 10X to 100X normal data rates are on the horizon. LEAs
“High-Risk” Providers Recently, we’ve heard a lot about “high-risk” network equipment providers and their potential security vulnerabilities. There is a fear they may be used
