Lawful Intercept

CloudShield: Providing the Industry's Most Flexible, Cost-Effective Lawful Intercept Platform

National governments worldwide have mandated that service providers install Lawful Intercept (LI) systems. LI enables specific Internet communications to be monitored and passed to law enforcement to aid criminal investigations and to protect national security. Deadlines for LI implementation are approaching, and service providers are under pressure to find solutions that meet a range of demanding functional requirements while minimizing cost and operational complexity.

The CloudShield Network Application Platform provides an unequalled combination of functionality, economy and flexibility that makes it uniquely suited to LI. Together with full-featured partner applications, the CloudShield platform provides the most comprehensive and cost-effective LI solution on the market.

• Comprehensive intercept capabilities: intercepts, captures and reconstructs any IP-based communications, including VoIP, P2P, email, chat, video.
• Unmatched performance and scalability: captures and processes data at network line speeds; provides law enforcement with real-time access to communications of interest; scales seamlessly to handle increasing network traffic and processing requirements.
• LI compliant—today and tomorrow: rapid programmability and updating to match changing protocols and govt. requirements; streamlined development and deployment of new applications.
• Lowest costs: unequalled price/performance: minimizes need for additional storage and other equipment; easy deployment; lowest operational costs.
• Complete hardware/software solution: range of powerful LI applications available from CloudShield partners; includes LI software subsystem for fast creation of new LI solutions.
• Greater flexibility: unified architecture supports LI, Data Retention,* infrastructure security, traffic management and more.

*In addition to Lawful Intercept, CloudShield's platform is also an ideal solution for the closely related function of Data Retention, mandated by many European governments.
