Introduction to Aurora®

Ever wonder how Sovereign is able to offer such a varied array of investigative services for multiple sectors?

There are a lot of answers to that question, but among the foremost is our signature artificial intelligence software platform, Aurora. Aurora forms the backbone of much of Sovereign’s information-gathering capabilities, from making sense of foot traffic patterns to decoding dark web chatter. But what exactly is Aurora?

Intelligence-as-a-Service

“We are building the software tools that we wish we had in the field."

Simply put, Aurora is an SaaS platform designed by investigators, for investigators. Sovereign, as an intelligence services product company, was founded on a dual backbone of Silicon Valley-bred technical expertise and a professional heritage in clandestine services. The result of that marriage is Aurora: a software service programmed by some of the smartest minds to emerge from the computer science and engineering industry – but informed by the pain points of real, seasoned investigative professionals.

Maximize your investigative instinct.

A common misconception among old school commercial intelligence purists is that advancements in machine learning are a threat to their jobs, and that products like Aurora will eventually replace human, boots-on-the-ground investigative professionals.

The way we see it at Sovereign, this couldn’t be further from the truth – in fact, we believe in precisely the opposite. Rather than replacing human intelligence and investigative professionals, our aim in building Aurora is to amplify their existing capabilities. We want to equip smart, savvy professionals with the tools to streamline the investigative process, cut down on busy work and wasted time, and develop insights into hard-to-penetrate stores of valuable data that might otherwise be unavailable.

Because the minds behind Aurora include actual intelligence analysts and investigators with tried-and-true professional experience, we know firsthand just how taxing these jobs can be. Our aim is to make a human investigator’s life easier – so that they can do the best possible job they’re capable of. Think of Aurora as a highly intelligent, artificial Girl Friday to your intrepid detective – here to assist anytime, anywhere, no matter how tough the case is.
