MULTI-TIER INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ENHANCE LAWFUL DATA INTERCEPTION AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION
First Claim
1. A method of intercepting data streams, the method comprising:
- receiving at a network surveillance system (NSS), a target to be intercepted on a network;
creating a target identification (target ID) for the target, wherein the target ID is unique to the NSS in order to track data streams of the target during subsequent processed in the NSS; and
intercepting the data streams of the target on the network.

Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for intercepting data streams such as packets on a network. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving at a network surveillance system (NSS), a target to be intercepted on the network; creating a target identification (target ID) for the target, wherein the target ID is unique to the NSS in order to track data streams of the target during subsequent processing, such as extraction of content and metadata, in the NSS; intercepting the data streams of the target on the network; tagging the data streams of the target that are intercepted from the network with a respective target ID; transmitting the data streams of the target to the NSS for subsequent analysis; and distributing the data streams across a scalable quantity of data processing engines in the NSS.

26. A network surveillance system comprising:
-
a graphical user interface (GUI) to receive a target to be intercepted on a network; a data mediation engine coupled to the GUI, the data mediation engine operative to create a target ID for the target in the network, wherein the target ID is unique to the network surveillance system (NSS) in order to track data streams of the target in subsequent processing by the NSS; and an access device, coupled to the data mediation engine, for intercepting the data streams of the target on the network. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
