Siren 12 Security Platform Relies on Elasticsearch
December 13, 2021
Here is an example of Elastic being stretched a different way. The Intelligence Community News announces, “Siren Releases Siren 12.” The new version of Siren’s security search and analysis platform relies heavily on Elasticsearch—it incorporates Elastic Platinum subscriptions and will support Elasticsearch v8 (still in alpha). Siren 12 consolidates investigative tools for law enforcement, intelligence, and cyber security organizations. Writer Loren Blinde specifies:
“Siren’s latest release makes it easier for users to organize and join data in a way that suits their requirements, with intuitive UI driven schema editing and ETL. It allows organizations to forensically analyze device data and link it to other available data sources. Siren 12 enables investigators to not only browse existing information, but also to create new records and edit graphs freely, for the first time merging the ‘analysis’, the ‘data entry’ and ‘hypothesis and presentation’ phases in investigation in a single intuitive interface. Lastly Siren doubles down on Investigative AI capabilities by introducing Siren Vision, a deep learning based toolkit for automatic image annotation and classification, integrating with Elastic’s anomaly and outlier detection in a way that is consistent with Siren Investigative use cases.”
We note the emphasis on AI; it seems the security field is not letting concerns over algorithmic bias slow it down. Siren execs call this version a huge step forward and hopes it will position their platform as the go-to global reference investigative intelligence platform. Founded in 2014, the company is based in Galway, Ireland.
