FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereafter FRONTEO) and Wi-Fi security pioneer Spline Network Co., Ltd. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President Yoichi Yukino, hereafter Spline Network) links digital forensic technology including text analysis technology using FRONTEO's AI with Wi-Fi diagnostic analysis and constant monitoring services provided by Spline Network to create a Wi-Fi environment from normal times. We are announcing that we have established a cooperative system for monitoring, detection and prevention of unauthorized communication via Wi-Fi, and vulnerability diagnosis analysis in information leakage incident investigation.

back ground 

Public wireless LAN (hereinafter referred to as "public wireless LAN"), which has been gradually spreading and expanding with the times, from use in homes and companies to public infrastructure and Wi-Fi offload due to the spread of smartphones, is now playing a major role as a social infrastructure. Wi-Fi) is convenient, but if you continue to use it without taking proper security measures, it will be illegally intruded into your home or corporate network via Wi-Fi, and the communication contents will be eavesdropped or spoofed. It will lead to damage of information leakage via hidden channels by wireless network such as installation of access points.Until now, Wi-Fi service providers have taken measures such as the introduction of encryption and authentication, but after the actual intrusion or communication interception, the intrusion route and leaked content are identified. Was difficult.

Details of collaboration

By becoming a WiSAS solution partner of Spline Network, it has become possible to investigate information leaks via Wi-Fi in combination with FRONTEO's forensic investigation service.In addition to environmental scanning, environmental optimization support, and vulnerability diagnosis, which are diagnostic analysis services using "Wi-Fi Security Assurance Series (Wi-Fi Security Assurance Series): patent pending" in the event of an emergency, unauthorized intrusion is immediately detected or prevented. It is also possible to provide a constant monitoring service (which can constantly monitor unauthorized unauthorized access points).

Strengths of both companies

・ Spline network
We provide full-scale security solutions for Wi-Fi, which has been poorly recognized as an information leakage route. By installing a small A5 size device (WiSAS dedicated sensor) in the target area and turning on the power, you can scan the Wi-Fi in the area and constantly monitor it without making any changes to the existing environment. Easy realization of immediate detection and prevention of unauthorized access to Wi-Fi, for which there was no product that could withstand practical use.In particular, by providing a fully remote managed service, you can build a safe and comfortable Wi-Fi environment without the need for a physical visit even during a pandemic or disaster.We have already achieved many achievements in spot vulnerability diagnosis and constant monitoring services.

・ FRONTEO
FRONTEO is an AI engine "KIBIT" that was originally developed.^®We have been mainly involved in the detection and investigation of in-house fraud using the large-scale text data analysis technology and the digital forensic technology that we have accumulated over 17 years.With this WiSAS solution partner agreement with Spline Network, Wi-Fi risk diagnosis for wireless network networks will be strengthened among various external risks, and comprehensive solutions for internal and external risks can be provided. It came to be.

FRONTEO's service coverage (the part surrounded by red is the enhancement this time)

Spline Network Inc. Comment from Representative Director Yoichi Yukino

"It is very encouraging and sincerely gratifying that FRONTEO has become a WiSAS solution partner in sympathy with our vision of aiming for a safe and comfortable Wi-Fi user society. Wi-Fi has become more widespread and Wi-Fi. -While the number of information leakage incidents related to Fi continues to increase, we would like to work with FRONTEO to overcome the current situation where Wi-Fi vulnerabilities are almost neglected. "　

Ltd.FRONTEO Comment from Masahiro Morimoto, Representative Director

"In recent months, we have been actively collaborating with cyber security specialists to complement FRONTEO's text analysis AI-based forensic research and internal risk analysis, and have improved our ability to investigate external risks. By collaborating with Spline Network, FRONTEO has become able to respond to data leakage cases via Wi-Fi, which is increasing in the number of information leakage routes in recent years. As a leading company of digital forensics, Cyber We will focus on developing security-related risk management solutions. "

• About Spline Network Inc. URL: https://www.spline-network.co.jp/

Established in January 2002.In the area of ​​security and printing, we handle various software solutions in-house and develop an integrated business from development to marketing, sales and support.The unique set of solutions created from a unique perspective has been highly evaluated by the companies that have introduced it.

From 2017, we will visualize the Wi-Fi network, support the optimization of the Wi-Fi environment, and prevent unauthorized use of Wi-Fi in the face of the situation where many Wi-Fi communication networks where vulnerabilities are neglected are scattered. However, we started developing the "Wi-Fi Security Assurance Series" (WiSAS), a solution that prevents information leakage due to cyber attacks, and in January 2020, we started providing all WiSAS services.Going forward, we will continue to brush up on WiSAS and focus on supporting the spread and expansion of comfortable and secure Wi-Fi environments.
