10:00-10:30
Effective Lawful Interception in a Changing Communication World
The proliferation of emerging threats and bandwidth-heavy traffic, like VoIP, IM and Web 2.0, have introduced new demands and responsibilities for ensuring the network remains efficient and secure. On top of this, service providers and government agencies are increasingly required to design and deploy networks that support lawful interception (LI) and surveillance.
In order to meet these needs, many organizations are leveraging DPI platforms, not as an added feature, but as the foundation for their solutions. These capabilities help organizations deploy custom LI applications and dig deep into their network to uncover what’s inside the traffic payloads to better assess and reduce risk in the infrastructure. This bottom-up approach is the future for security and is now a critical component to identifying the growing number of intrusions on a network.
In this presentation Kiochi Hyodo, VP of Japan operations, Bivio Networks, will give an overview of the requirements for an effective lawful interception solution, including secure transport to lawful enforcement agencies. Additionally, he will provide guidelines for architecting high-performance, custom applications that minimize cost and deployment time and make recommendations for integrating them with current IT assets.

Developing an Integrated LI and DR Capability
Countries are continually evolving their interception capabilities to accommodate new services and technologies but many are still evaluating the requirements for Data Retention or at the early planning stage. Drawing from the AQSACOM experience, this presentation looks at the core requirements for both interception and data retention and outlines an approach that can provide an end-to-end solution that covers both requirements and a road map for development of a capability to suit the individual needs of a Country. A Data Retention capability can evolve from a well designed LI solution covering all products and services. One of the key aspects in establishing an effective, integrated solution is the need to define and scope out functions and design requirements covering both the Network and Agency ends of a solution. This aspect is examined and highlighted.

Meeting LEA Challenges to Analyze Rapidly Changing Internet Content
As larger and larger "pipes" connect subscribers to the internet, law enforcement is challenged to accurately and quickly identify useful and interesting information from the volumes of packets flowing to and from those subscribers. In this session we will looks at ways to accomplish through intelligently breaking down the information into relevant "buckets" that can classify the traffic and reduce the overall volume that law enforcement has to wade through. By eliminating or offloading types of information that aren't normally useful but may consume large amounts of bandwidth (songs, videos, movies etc.), law enforcement can focus on what is truly important.

8:30-9:00
SESSION A
Unified Interception & Location Platform for Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies
Determining in real-time the location information of an end user device, in particular an IP device, is an issue that has gained much attention in the past years as users become more mobile in nature and more affordable portable/mobile devices with voice/data capabilities come to market.
Presently, the location of IP devices is coming into focus through the emergence of VoIP service besides data services. The "look and feel" of this service is more like a traditional telephone service, and therefore government authorities are taking notice and requiring carriers to provide location services for VoIP callers making emergency calls. In addition, VoIP technologies allow users to be fixed , nomadic, and mobile, so the location tracking solution must support all of these different types of users.
The requirement for location information involves issues spanning: * IP interception,* Data retention, * Identity management,* Handover interfaces,* Compliance and regulation
Uri Savoray, Septier Communication

Mobile Surveillance, Location Technology and Satellite Monitoring - Demonstration
ThorpeGlen solutions provide can provide real-time tracking and historic monitoring or targets nationally – providing a geographic profile that enables investigators to take the next step in closer surveillance or final apprehension. Given that most savvy targets are changing their handset and SIM regularly – the challenge in tracking changing target numbers is an area we specialize in. We will provide a demonstration of our system with a Case Study to track and locate a target given an old Mobile phone number – knowing that NOW the target is probably using a different SIM and handset - to locate where the suspect lives.
With easy to use buttons in our system it does not rely on detailed Telecommunications knowledge by the Analyst to track and locate a target within minutes – all details are able to be viewed in graphical form – without having to export data to other graphical applications. Simple click of a button to produce link chart, timelines, target details and target location on maps. We will demonstrate how fast this can be done – the outcome is to increase case throughput and obtaining target location information quickly - which in may cases may mean saving lives or assets
