Connecting the Dots: Real-Time Data Fusion for Proactive Intelligence

Information silos and bureaucratic boundaries have long hindered effective intelligence operations, preventing a complete picture of evolving threats. But what if you could connect disparate data sources—both within your organization and across jurisdictions—in real time to reveal hidden patterns and proactively disrupt criminal activity?

Join Flashpoint’s Andrew Borene and Siren Chairman Bob Griffin as they explore the critical shift from isolated tactical databases to a unified, real-time intelligence ecosystem. Discover how the strategic partnership between Flashpoint and Siren fills a vital gap, enabling organizations to fuse data from various channels, including cutting-edge OSINT collection, into a single, comprehensive view.

This session will dive into:

• The historical challenges of information sharing and how the private sector is providing innovative solutions.
• The growing imperative for real-time data fusion and its power to overcome internal and cross-jurisdictional data barriers.
• How link analysis across federated datasets can instantly pivot investigations, turning a single key or selector into a breakthrough.
• Real-world examples, including how patterns detected through connected data have led to significant disruptions, from high-profile cases like the Montgomery County sniper to complex narcotics cartel operations.
