Siren Introduces Automation, Essential to Move Faster than the Speed of Threat
GALWAY, Ireland, June 12, 2024 - Siren, the all-in-one investigation company on a mission to keep people, assets and networks safe, today announced the release of the latest version of its software. From a single lead, Siren 14.2 presents investigators with a pre-built intelligence graph, dramatically speeding up the investigation process. It automatically makes complex connections from large volumes of disparate data, surfacing previously inaccessible intelligence and improving effectiveness.
John Randles, CEO of Siren, said: “This release is absolutely huge for our users. Analysts who found knowledge graphs a challenge in the past can now have one built for them. The capability automatically maximizes the intelligence scope so is a massive improvement in terms of effectiveness, for even the most experienced investigator.”
Jeferson Zanim, Chief Product Officer, added “We’ve introduced some important collaboration tools in 14.2 and improved intelligence products. Siren can now produce link chart reports to be used as evidence, which is something our customers have been requesting. Now users can complete the full investigation from a single location.”
The evolution of technology, and specifically AI, is dramatically increasing the pace and complexity of criminal activities. Cyber attacks, digital IP theft and online child exploitation are just a few offenses that can occur within moments, and across international borders, causing widespread damage before traditional methods can respond. Siren addresses this ongoing challenge in 14.2, enabling users to dramatically speed up their investigations, discover untapped intelligence and share reports that can now also be used as official evidence.
From a single lead, automatically create an investigation
By simplifying the transition from search to investigation, Siren 14.2 enables law enforcement to respond quickly. From a single search result, Siren can now automate the creation of a full graph investigation, ensuring that all relevant connections and relationships are correctly mapped. This comprehensive overview is crucial in understanding the broader context of criminal activities. Siren takes a leadership role on behalf of the investigator, and maximizes intelligence across datasets, removing the need to rely on the intuition of the user. This not only increases the scope of evidence and the precision of an investigation, but also optimizes the productivity of the team.
Additionally, with a single click, it is now possible to automatically download a Siren knowledge graph into a draft written report.
Share intuitive investigation products across the organization and provide official evidence
Analysts can now fully customize link charts with labels on nodes and edges, making it easier to highlight key insights that are ready for dissemination, either through a direct link or downloadable report which can be used as evidence to facilitate prosecution. The analyst now has complete control of style and the ability to add custom entities on the graph. Whether presenting to prosecution teams, other law enforcement agencies, or policymakers, these intuitive products facilitate better understanding and decision-making by stakeholders.
Secure and facilitated collaboration workflow
Siren 14.2 introduces a facilitated collaboration workflow that caters to the diverse needs of investigative teams. Users now have the option to work in separate private and shared spaces. This separation ensures that individual investigators can work on sensitive aspects of an investigation privately, while still being able to collaborate with colleagues when necessary. The new ability to share the investigation across teams removes unnecessary friction and promotes further efficiencies.
Maintaining data integrity and security is paramount in law enforcement investigations. The new workflow in Siren 14.2 ensures that data is handled securely, with access controls and audit trails to protect sensitive information. By enhancing the collaboration workflow, Siren 14.2 supports more effective teamwork.
