Siren - Experts & Thought Leaders

Regula, a developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, brought document verification to the catwalk at the annual Intergraf Currency+Identity conference. Regula’s molded lenses, magnifiers, and optical filter turrets became key design elements in a fashion show featuring iconic Milanese characters: the office worker, the curious tourist, the street performer, and the child eating gelato. Document verification solutions Intergraf conference connects technology developers with a range of institutional corps The Intergraf Currency+Identity conference connects technology developers with a range of institutional organisations, such as security printing companies, central banks, and law enforcement agencies from all over the world.  Responding to the rising need for robust document verification solutions, Regula presented various devices, from compact magnifiers to full-scale video spectral comparators. Magnification of IDs’ security features While small devices provide high-quality magnification of IDs’ and banknotes’ security features to examine their authenticity, advanced equipment (such as the High-Resolution Photospectral Scanner Regula 88XX) allows for the most detailed inspection of all sorts of documents, as well as collectibles and art objects.  Sharing its passion for art and creativity, Regula was honoured to contribute to the fashion defilé held on the opening day of Intergraf Currency+Identity. Partnered with NABA  The conference organisers partnered with NABA, an art and design academy in Milan The conference organisers partnered with NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti), an art and design academy in Milan, to launch a creative project titled “A Pocket Full of Milan.” Within this project, young designers developed several fashion outfits representing typical street characters of the city, such as an office worker, a policeman, a fashionista, a commuter, and a tourist. The icing on the cake: the central character of this lineup was a pickpocket who stole costume parts from other characters while they were walking the catwalk, and ended up as the most dressed-up one. Document security features To create two of these outfits, NABA’s students chose the spare parts that Regula uses to manufacture its devices. For example, Regula’s in-house molded lenses (generally used to enable the anti-Stokes effect for examining document security features) became suit embellishments of the costume of a true Milanese office worker, or Office Siren, as it was called by the creators. Regula’s video spectral comparators Regula’s video spectral comparators to create the right light source for precise document review Additionally, magnifiers that were provided by Regula turned out to be a handy tool for a tourist perusing a city map. Finally, optical filter turrets that are used in Regula’s video spectral comparators to create the right light source for precise document examination appeared as vibrant outfit accessories for two more Milanese characters: the street performer and the child eating gelato. Innovative identity verification solutions “At Regula, we believe technology and creativity go hand in hand. Developing new technologies is always a creative process—it requires imagination, experimentation, and a willingness to see possibilities beyond the obvious. That’s why we were especially excited to support the artists at the Intergraf Currency+Identity fashion show. Just as we push the boundaries of forensic technology to develop innovative identity verification solutions, artists push creative boundaries to bring new ideas to life." "Seeing our precision-engineered components transformed into fashion pieces was a perfect reflection of this shared spirit of innovation. It was an honour to be part of an event that celebrates both technical excellence and artistic expression,” says Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula. 

Siren, the all-in-one investigation company, is proud to announce that the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) will be formally introduced as a customer at this year’s International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in Boston. This collaboration marks a pivotal evolution in cyber threat investigations and information sharing between the private sector and law enforcement. Cyber-related threats The NCFTA, a non-profit, creates an essential environment for responsible collaboration The NCFTA, founded in 2002, provides a trusted, neutral forum for sharing, identifying and disrupting the most urgent cyber-related threats.  The NCFTA, a non-profit, creates an essential environment for responsible collaboration, enabling collective defence against cybercrime. How Siren transforms operations Siren will integrate directly with NCFTA processes, automating the extraction of critical indicators. This key information is instantly accessible to managers, allowing them to efficiently assess incoming cases and determine if similar threats have been previously investigated. Utilising Siren’s software and automation, NCFTA will more effectively be able to query appropriate internal and external data sources to gather further intelligence. Siren's commitment The NCFTA commits to getting results more quickly and efficiently to build a stronger, joint defence Once assigned, analysts will be able to dive deeper into investigations using the Siren platform, quickly filtering relevant data and uncovering key connections. As part of the growing Siren customer base, the NCFTA’s engagement underscores Siren's commitment to driving innovation in cybersecurity and investigative intelligence. By partnering with Siren, the NCFTA commits to getting results more quickly and efficiently to build a stronger, collaborative defence against emerging cyber threats. Advanced tools to streamline investigations Matt LaVigna, CEO of National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) commented: “As the volume and complexity of cyber threats continue to rise, it’s critical that we have the most advanced tools to streamline investigations and communicate in real-time with our members. Siren will allow us to automate tedious manual work and enable our talented staff to connect data across cases much quicker and uncover patterns that we may have otherwise missed.” John Randles, CEO of Siren, added: “We’re very excited at Siren to support the NCFTA with their mission. Our technology is an excellent fit for Matt Livigna and his team and will enable his workforce to do so much more.”

Siren, the all-in-one investigation company, and Senzing, a pioneer in real-time entity resolution AI, announce a strategic partnership to revolutionise law enforcement investigations. By integrating Senzing advanced entity resolution technology with the Siren AI-powered platform, law enforcement agencies can surface hidden entities, connect disparate data sources, and make faster, more accurate decisions in combating criminal activities. Law Enforcement Challenges Law enforcement faces growing challenges in managing vast amounts of data across fragmented systems. This partnership combines Siren’s AI tools with Senzing entity resolution technology to help agencies identify individuals and entities more precisely. Joint benefits include: Eliminating duplicate records: Consolidation of duplicate records, providing a unified view of individuals or entities, even under different aliases. Connecting data across jurisdictions: Criminals use multiple identities. This solution links data across geographies, offering a comprehensive view of activities. Enhancing investigative accuracy: Improves analysis of connections between suspects, victims and witnesses. Preventing misidentification: Reducing identity confusion ensures the right individuals are targeted, preventing wrongful arrests. Powering investigations with AI and automation “Our mission is to keep people, assets and networks safe. This collaboration enhances Siren’s ability to uncover hidden connections with greater speed and precision,” said John Randles, CEO of Siren. Siren excels at exploring complex data relationships in real time. Senzing AI continuously improves entity resolution accuracy across datasets, offering full transparency into how entities are resolved so investigators can confidently make decisions. Unlike most AI technologies, Senzing provides full details on how entities were resolved for peace of mind. Jeff Jonas, CEO of Senzing, added, “We’re proud to partner with Siren to help law enforcement and security agencies analyse risks. Siren’s ability to link and enrich data from multiple sources makes Senzing entity resolution a perfect fit.”
