MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SS8 Networks, the network intelligence company, today announced record revenues and profitability for its 2016 fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The company experienced a major surge in demand for its network intelligence, compliance and breach detection solutions among enterprises, critical infrastructure industries, governments, law enforcement agencies, and communication services providers.
SS8 network intelligence solutions service three core markets: communications analysis and compliance for communications providers; analyzing communications for law enforcement and intelligence agency investigations; and continuous retrospective network analysis for enterprise breach detection. Each SS8 solution identifies and classifies communication packets and then generates, stores and analyzes months, and even years, of high-definition records (HDRs) from these network communications. This intelligence is used to uncover digital footprints associated with devices of interest (DOI) and suspects of interest (SOI) to uncover previously unknown threats.
“The network is the source of truth for uncovering both devices and suspects of interest. Our unique ability to extract intelligence from network communications right up to the application layer has propelled SS8 to a breakthrough year in terms of revenue growth, customer acquisition and expansion into new markets,” said Dennis Haar, Chief Executive Officer of SS8. “Not only did we expand our leadership position in the law enforcement, intelligence and communications sectors, but we also achieved major traction among enterprises looking to implement continuous monitoring for breach detection and response.”
