Laws, requirements and procedures vary from country to country. In some regions service providers are required to purchase intercept equipment, deploy it, maintain it and operate it at the request of law enforcement. In other regions, law enforcement may sponsor the purchase of the equipment and then work in partnership with service providers to deploy and operate it. And in other regions, law enforcement purchases the equipment and deploys it across multiple service providers while retaining centralized operational control.

With these scenarios in mind, SS8 has developed Xcipio® in a manner to suit any of these scenarios. There is complete flexibility in the deployment methods, supporting both local and remote operation. Operationally, Xcipio follows regional protocols and legislative requirements, performing standards based delivery of intercepted traffic and then providing a full suite of investigative tools.

In terms of investigative process, the recording and storage of intercepted traffic is one of the most basic but critical elements. From this stored information evidentiary materials can be produced and more sophisticated analysis methods can be applied. SS8 provides not only these basic elements but also the ability to chart activities, identify trends, expose hidden relationships, map locations, graph movements, establish unknown identities and recreate Internet sessions with industry leading IP reconstruction techniques.

With a true end-to-end solution, SS8’s intercept portfolio meets the functional needs of law enforcement across the board, first performing complex network intercept operations and then providing comprehensive analysis functions critical to thwarting criminal intent.
