Siren has introduced version 14.7 of its investigative intelligence platform, offering a suite of AI-powered enhancements tailored for law enforcement agencies facing complex, interconnected threats.
The latest release aims to support police forces in addressing a growing spectrum of hybrid threats including cybercrime, coordinated criminal activities, and disinformation campaigns by providing tools to manage and analyse large and diverse datasets in real time.
Hybrid threat environment
Law enforcement organisations have seen a shift towards multifaceted and fast-evolving security challenges. Siren 14.7 seeks to assist agencies in adapting quickly and responding decisively in this landscape, allowing investigators to connect disparate elements of an investigation more efficiently.
One of the central features in Siren 14.7 is its new approach to relationship mapping through the records-as-relations model, which enables the visualisation and analysis of interactions such as phone calls, transactions, or online communications as central records. This clearer data structure is intended to help analysts detect previously hidden connections and patterns within vast datasets.
Entity resolution and graph analytics
Siren 14.7 includes a new Entity Resolution feature designed for more effective handling of duplicate or equivalent records. By merging such records, investigators are presented with unified views of entities without losing track of original data sources or compromising security, facilitating faster and more reliable decision-making.
The latest version also upgrades graph exploration functions. Investigators can now search within graphs, add data without leaving their workspace, and use visual highlights to focus on critical nodes and relationships. Pinning functionality helps users keep notable nodes organised during ongoing investigations.
AI integration and productivity
The integration of large language models brings new AI-driven capabilities directly to the Siren platform. Users can generate reports, summarise findings, and query datasets using natural language, which aims to boost productivity and provide faster access to insights relevant to ongoing cases. Other usability features include navigation history, traceable AI interactions to support ethical standards, and customisable actions that automate repetitive tasks.
The reworked user interface introduces improved settings, dashboard functionality, and validations. The platform's new notification centre consolidates system messages and supports end-user interaction. Siren 14.7 further enhances monitoring with improved application performance management and display of graph data on maps by referencing connections rather than direct locations.
Security and scalability
Siren reports critical upgrades in system security alongside smarter resource management and increased performance. According to the company, these improvements are intended to ensure reliability and protection for complex investigations conducted on a large scale. Siren 14.7 is a game-changer for the big police forces we work with every day. We listened to our customers and shipped a release that puts clarity, speed, and fast, actionable intelligence front and centre. As analysts get familiar with Siren AI, teams are delivering more insights from link charts, catching connections they used to miss, and staying a step ahead of threats in near real time.
That statement from Jeferson Zanim, Chief Product Officer, highlights the company's focus on meeting the functional requirements of law enforcement users managing real-time and high-pressure scenarios.
The company also points to a commitment to transparency in artificial intelligence. Renaud Delbru, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, stated: At Siren, explainability is not just a technical feature, it's a reflection of our philosophy. Ethical Technology is one of our core values, and we are committed to ensuring that users can always understand how our AI arrives at its conclusions. By making the reasoning behind AI-driven insights accessible, we empower investigators to act with confidence and integrity, upholding the highest standards of trust and responsibility.
Feedback collected from clients has played a role in shaping the platform's evolution. Gerry Baron, Global VP Customer Success at Siren, commented: Working directly with some of the world's largest and most forward-thinking police departments, I've seen first-hand how Siren 14.7 is transforming investigations. Our clients consistently tell us that features like our path finding algorithms and AI-driven analytics are making it possible to uncover connections and insights at a speed and scale they've never experienced before. Reporting and communication are a very important part of the process, which is a lot faster in 14.7, setting a new standard for investigative excellence.
Siren states that version 14.7 has been adopted by several large police departments globally, serving agencies with significant jurisdictional demands and operational complexity, and is being used to replace older investigative intelligence solutions.
