The discovery and collection of high-value target communications require the deployment of a strategy through which strong selectors are applied against metadata-rich technologies and accesses and which are used to tip off other technologies and accesses. Metadata analysis will yield target discovery and new more powerful strong selectors. The distributed collection approach includes identifying a particular target's communications, tipping between accesses, associating many aggregate session parts, and presenting all of a target's communications to the analyst via a single workstation and viewer. (C//SI) The session will begin with an overview and status of PSC, followed by a focus on PSC challenges. The overview will outline how PSC integrates with other SSG initiatives such as the: implementation of SID's Metadata Strategy (CONDENSER), the Master Association Manager (MAM), the Unified Targeting Tool (UTT), and GLOBALVISION. Additionally, relationships to external programs such as: CT production, the Persona POD (#38), TURBULANCE, TRAFFICTHIEF, WEALTHYCLUSTER 2.0, X-KEYSCORE, UIS, and content repositories ...will also be addressed.
