Recent legislation (like the US CLOUD Act) is designed to streamline lawful access to data across borders but stops short of addressing encryption, creating diplomatic and political tensions.
Lawful intelligence uses advanced technologies, but is only an adjunct to human expertise. These use cases show how intelligence tradecraft detects, deters, and disrupts threats while upholding legal standards.
Lawful intelligence gives investigators access to vast, complex data sets. Automated tools allow analysis at massive scale, but cases are built by humans, making the usability of such solutions critical.
The massive diversity and volume of data available to feed lawful intelligence practices creates significant technical complexity. Lawful intelligence platforms work below the surface to manage that complexity.
When investigators begin a new case, they often start with virtually nothing to go on. Lawful intelligence is the framework of methods, tools, and techniques that guides investigators toward resolution.

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
