Siren & Flashpoint partner to boost intelligence investigations
Siren and Flashpoint have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver a unified environment that aims to enhance investigation capabilities and drive intelligence-led decision-making for security and intelligence teams.
The collaboration comes at a time when geopolitical tensions and hybrid threats, combining cyber, physical, and informational tactics, are increasingly impacting both private and public sectors. Organisations are facing heightened challenges from sophisticated adversaries, and the integration between Flashpoint and Siren is designed to address these evolving risks.
Integrated intelligence
By incorporating Flashpoint's exclusive, human-augmented threat intelligence into Siren's platform, security teams are intended to benefit from improved detection, investigation, and response to complex risks. The partnership allows direct access to curated primary-source data, providing additional depth to investigations and helping analysts uncover connections that might otherwise remain hidden.
Siren's open platform architecture supports the combination of this intelligence with a diverse array of open-source and internal data sources. These include social media, law enforcement records, cyber threat feeds, and blockchain analytics. The joint solution is structured to offer a flexible environment, suitable for various applications such as public safety, fraud prevention, anti-money laundering, and the investigation of cryptocurrency crime.
Against the backdrop of increasing financial cyber threats and blockchain-related risks, the partnership is positioned to help organisations protect assets while maintaining trust in an increasingly digitised economy.
"By embedding Flashpoint's uniquely curated, human-augmented intelligence into Siren's workflows, we're delivering an end-to-end solution that accelerates investigations and generates actionable insights with unmatched speed and precision," said Rachel Kavanagh, CMO of Siren.
Andrew Borene, Flashpoint Executive Director for International Markets and Global Security, commented: "In a world of increasingly sophisticated and converging threats, the ability to access and action comprehensive intelligence is paramount. This integration delivers on that need. Combining Flashpoint's unmatched collections with Siren's investigative power gives multinational organisations a more actionable view of their risk landscape."
Market growth
The open source intelligence (OSINT) market is experiencing substantial growth, with a reported value of $13.5 billion in 2023 and a projected rise to $43.3 billion by 2033. This expansion is attributed to growing demand for real-time and cross-domain intelligence among security teams globally.
The partnership's key offerings include a unified investigation experience, bringing together analysis of Flashpoint collections alongside data from publicly and commercially available sources, social media, cyber intelligence, blockchain and geospatial channels. The integration also promises faster time to insights through features such as link analysis, relational searches, and advanced visualisation tools to surface critical connections efficiently.
Flashpoint's intelligence sources, collected globally and enhanced by both human expertise and artificial intelligence, are designed to add depth and relevance to investigative workflows.
Siren and Flashpoint highlight the scalability and comprehensiveness of their joint solution, stating it is suitable to equip intelligence teams to understand, anticipate, and respond to emerging threats regardless of complexity or the pace at which the geopolitical environment evolves.
