Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for capturing electronic evidence using one or more agents and at least one service control point. The systems and methods comprise deploying the one or more agents to one or more sources of electronic evidence. One or more events are transmitted from the at least one service control point to the one or more agents, wherein the one or more agents do not perform any tasks unless events are received. Upon receipt of the one or more events by the one or more agents, at least one task is performed on the one or more sources of electronic evidence.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for capturing electronic evidence. One or more agents are deployed to one or more sources of electronic evidence over a communications network, wherein the one or more deployed agents are undetectable by the one or more sources. One or more instructions are transmitted to the one or more deployed agents to capture electronic evidence from at least one service control point, wherein the one or more deployed agents are inactive unless the one or more instructions are received. Upon receipt of the one or more instructions by the one or more deployed agents from the at least of service control point, electronic evidence is captured from the one or more sources of electronic evidence. The use of resources of the one or more sources by the one or more deployed agents is monitored.
