Devon Brothers Behind AI System Tackling Global Disinformation and Digital Threats

Devon brothers Jack and Harry Alderman have launched an artificial intelligence system that’s redefining how governments and businesses detect global risks, from disinformation and cyber threats to geopolitical instability. Their company, Satorus Group, has built Sidney - a world-first platform that automates the entire open-source intelligence (OSINT) workflow. Using analyst-trained AI agents, Sidney collects and analyses data across social media, news, and the dark web - delivering decision-ready intelligence in minutes instead of hours or days. “We grew up in Devon, where things move at a slower pace,” said Jack

Alderman, Co-CEO of Satorus Group. “Now we’re building technology that moves at the speed global threats do. Sidney is what happens when you combine small-town grit with big-picture ambition.” Jack and Harry, both raised in Devon before moving into the intelligence and technology sectors, co-founded Satorus Group alongside London-based Beth Martin-Board. Their goal: make reliable, analyst-grade intelligence accessible to leaders facing high-risk decisions worldwide. “We’ve seen first-hand how misinformation and digital manipulation can destabilise markets and governments,” said Harry Alderman, Chief CommercialOfficer. “Sidney gives organisations the clarity to act fast - because in today’s world, waiting even an hour can cost you.”

Satorus’ system is already being used to detect disinformation campaigns and identifyemerging threats in real time. The team’s analyst-trained AI agents replicate humanreasoning at machine speed, automating what once required entire teams of analysts. “The vision started over a tennis match in Devon,” Jack added. “We wanted tobuild something that mattered - something that helps people make better decisions when the stakes are high. Sidney is that.”Satorus Group is now rolling out the platform to clients across security, finance, and geopolitical sectors.
