Encryption and OTT apps limit the value of lawful eavesdropping tools like wiretaps, but mobile networks offer a powerful engine for new insights: real-time geographical awareness using high-accuracy location.
As with the broader missions of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, lawful intelligence must balance investigative rigor with the need to preserve privacy and other civil protections.
In investigations, lives depend on the reliability of lawful intelligence platforms. To help analysts maximize the value of all available data, these platforms require advanced testing and continuous updating.
Lawful interception of voice by LEAs harkens back to a time when unencrypted phone calls over a wireline carrier network defined electronic communication. In the smartphone era, other methods have proliferated.
By gathering, collating, and drawing possible conclusions from all available information, AI and ML can act as resource multipliers for lawful and location intelligence, just as they do for network operations.
The ecosystem involved in collecting, buying, and selling Mobile Advertising data provides a rich source of investigative data for law enforcement agencies (LEAs).
Preventing terrorism and mass casualties in the absence of full data visibility requires identifying and combining digital breadcrumbs that reveal clues and generate evidence.
The widespread presence of unauthorized mobile phones in correctional facilities continues to be a significant enforcement challenge.
The shifting landscape of communication complicates lawful intelligence with unprecedented volumes of digital traffic, obscured by encryption, across social media and other channels.
Reducing spend on lawful intelligence technologies is a strategic necessity for both law enforcement agencies and communication service providers all over the world.
Alongside its many social and economic benefits, the internet also provides a massive venue for people to commit, or be victimized by, online crime.
Around the world, financial hardship, political instability, and violence are persistent threats to societies. Marginalized people living under such conditions desperately wish to improve their lives.
Location intelligence is generally considered in the context of latitude and longitude, placing a device on the surface of a globe or 2D map. That does not help first responders in dense urban areas.
The metaverse is a virtual digital world where users can engage in whatever their imagination allows, but the dangers and guardrails, including implications for law enforcement, are only just emerging.
Mobile location services used by Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies to locate devices and subjects of interest are typically focused on the MSISDN, but the IMSI and IMEI are useful too.
