As the command and control function sitting at the heart of any intercept implementation, Xcipio’s duties are split between interfacing with the network elements (switches, routers, AXS probes), managing all of the intercepted traffic and getting that information to law enforcement.

Xcipio supports more than 100 different network interfaces, allowing it to connect to a wide range of network equipment. This kind of connectivity requires extensive knowledge of protocols, call flows and network operations in order to properly and accurately intercept communications networks. SS8’s experience and expertise with these interfaces allows for a free flow of real-time information from the intercept access points in the network, through Xcipio and delivery to law enforcement.

Delivery of intercepted traffic requires compliance with a multitude of international delivery standards designed for specific technology (ex: CDMA vs. GSM) and which contain numerous variants to meet local regulations and requirements. Xcipio supports over 20 different delivery standards to ensure compliance with the needs of law enforcement.

Due to the sensitive nature of intercept information and the needs of service providers and law enforcement, security measures were critical in the design of Xcipio. Secure logins, permission based access, user classes, activity audits, encrypted databases and user activity logs all combine to protect the information from unauthorized individuals. Xcipio is trusted in hundreds of networks to acquire, intercept, manage and deliver intercepted communications to law enforcement agencies around the world.
