An effective response to the increasingly sophisticated and brutal security threat posed by global and indigenous terrorists has moved rapidly up the political agenda in recent years. The events of 9/11 and subsequent localised outrages present a unique challenge to governments seeking to both protect their people and prevent further attacks.
Increased security has become commonplace in everyone’s daily lives, with delays now accepted as a small price to pay for personal safety.

There is a realisation, however, that to truly anticipate and counter these threats requires a fresh approach. It’s here that the use of technology is now playing an increasing front line role around the world in the fight against terror and organized crime.

Pre-empting outrages is critical. Monitoring movement of suspects is vital. To do this, governments are turning to lawful interception – effectively “deviating” communications on mobile phones – as a means of tracking and tracing likely perpetrators.

Increasingly, this requirement – and the need for data retention of communication records for evidence for prosecutions – is becoming mandated for communications service providers in networks across the globe.

With more than a decade’s experience of deploying lawful interception (LI) and data retention (DR) solutions, Suntech is now expanding rapidly to meet this growing demand in established and emerging markets worldwide, allowing clients to respond to global and localised security threats – and the rapidly changing regulatory and technological environment.
