Conclusion
Passive surveillance is complementary to LI
! Provides a much larger pool of information ! Helps identify targets and prevent incidents
Systems do exist that provide large scale passive surveillance capabilities while:
! Providing unique intelligence value ! Protect investment against changes in technology ! Low vendor hardware dependence
