Major Massachusetts Cyber Crime Unit Deploys NetIntercept


June 17, 2009

When a company or governmental unit is not sure of what type of network traffic is being generated on its network and they believe that unauthorized and/or criminal activity is afoot, they have another tool to call upon - NEMLEC. The North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council's - Cyber Crime Unit.

A NEMLEC Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) is located just minutes away from Boston, Massachusetts and provides full digital forensic services to over 50 police agencies. NEMLEC CCU is deploying Sandstorm Enterprises' NetIntercept software (NI), in support of their criminal and administrative police investigations. Members of this unit would (legally) deploy NI software/hardware as a robust incident response tool in various network settings to assist them with identifying key evidence transmitted in data packets along with identifying the source/destinations of this evidence.

Using NetIntercept, this Cyber Crime Unit has a powerful network forensic tool that would (legally) tap into any computer network and produce excellent digital evidence. Using NI along with other digital forensic tools, this Cyber Crime Unit has some of the best tools to help them identify, document and produce key evidence in support of their investigations.

According to the Unit's Commander, Detective Lieutenant John McLean, the NetIntercept product is one of the best network forensic tools he has seen. "The ability to lawfully and professionally tap into network traffic, parse the data and see immediate results and then produce this evidence, supported by further forensic analysis, is real pro-active cyber-enforcement - at it best".

A number of law enforcement agencies will soon be receiving introductory training on this product and discussing the practical and legal uses of NetIntercept in their agencies.
