Effective lawful intelligence solutions do more than just ingest and analyze data. They build evidential narratives compelling enough for court that are backed by a fully auditable chain of custody.
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.
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.
Today’s lawful intelligence measures draw on a long legacy of intercepted communications. And while the days of simple wiretaps are long gone, the foundational idea
The massive, ever-growing role of social networks in human communication comes with a unique set of hazards. In particular, the layer of concealment provided by
As the volume, variety, and velocity of data potentially available to lawful intelligence grows exponentially, the control mechanisms that govern its interception become more critical.
Distributed 5G network topologies have forever forced mediation for lawful interception out beyond the network core. As computing moves closer to the subscriber, mediation nodes
Just a tiny fraction of cryptocurrency transactions are related to criminal activity, but they are still a critical mechanism for payment associated with crimes that
Technology developments for telecommunications networks often add more challenges than benefits for lawful intelligence operations. Separating the noise from the signal in massive 5G data
It’s an irony of this moment that, even as 5G networks increase the amount of data on public networks by orders of magnitude, the technology
As communication service providers (CSPs) continue to build out 5G networks, standards-based infrastructure is replacing the proprietary interfaces, formats, and protocols of previous technology generations.
Most telecommunications carriers operate equipment from different generations of technology, and often have multiple vendor environment. Carriers can accrete these layers over time, as their
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
