Tell us the story of your company.

DeAnn Baker: SS8 Networks was founded in Silicon Valley in 2000 with a clear and focused mission: to safeguard societies, always. SS8 emerged at a time when global communications were rapidly evolving—moving beyond traditional voice into a dynamic ecosystem of mobile, IP and cloud-based technologies.

As communication technologies expanded, governments and service providers faced a growing challenge: how to lawfully and effectively analyze the vast streams of data to protect national security and public safety. SS8 recognized this early, setting out to bridge the gap between advanced communications and actionable intelligence. Through powerful, scalable solutions for lawful interception and data analytics, the company helped transform the way critical information is gathered, processed and understood—enabling agencies to navigate complexity with precision and turn data into clarity.

What solutions/services does your business offer in the security industry? And what makes your offerings/company unique?

DB: With 25 years of experience operating in one of the most sensitive and regulated spaces in the world, SS8 has built its reputation on integrity, reliability and accountability—ensuring that every solution not only performs at the highest level but is designed to operate responsibly and within established legal frameworks.

As a recognized leader in lawful and location intelligence, SS8 is trusted by many of the world’s largest government agencies and communications providers. That trust has been earned by consistently staying at the forefront of innovation while never losing sight of our mission and commitment to making societies safer, reflected across the SS8 product portfolio:

• Discovery, the company’s latest subscription-based offering, acts as an investigative force multiplier for local and state law enforcement—enabling agencies to fuse, filter and analyze massive volumes of data in real time.
• The Intellego XT monitoring and analytics portfolio empowers law enforcement to capture, analyze and visualize complex datasets for actionable intelligence.
• LocationWise delivers highly accurate, audited network location intelligence for emergency services, law enforcement and mobile network operators, supporting both active and passive use cases.
• The Xcipio mediation platform meets the full demands of lawful intercept across any network type, including the ability to transcode between different handover versions and standards.

What is something we might not know about your company—or something new you are doing in security?

DB: SS8 recently launched a powerful expansion of data fusion capabilities within the Intellego XT platform. This enhanced capability enables law enforcement and intelligence agencies to manage, correlate and analyze diverse investigative datasets with the help of AI—bringing together network intelligence, social intelligence, open-source intelligence, high-precision location data, commercially available information and device forensics within a single, unified investigative environment.

The result is a true 360-degree view of a subject of interest, empowering investigators to connect disparate data points, uncover hidden relationships and accelerate case resolution—all within a single pane of glass.
