FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) has already sent to major companies and government offices in order to socialize the results of OSINT research that started in earnest in August 2020. We will start providing services in the form of expanding the patent search and SNS writing solutions that have been provided.

So far, FRONTEO has conducted "patent analysis search" that conducts prior art search and invalid material search from patent information, and extracts writings that may lead to corporate risk from text data posted on SNS and Internet bulletin boards. We have provided solutions such as "SNS / writing check".While conducting research with the cooperation of Professor Takayuki Mizuno, who is our technical advisor, and Professor Yoshinobu Kano, Department of Behavioral Information, Faculty of Informatics, Shizuoka University, we will not only expand these solutions but also apply more advanced OSINT technology. Earlier, we saw several powerful solutions.

The solutions we have provided so far have used data from media such as SNS and newspapers, but in the future, we will add more comprehensive corporate information and shareholder information to the strategy of organizations and groups. We will provide highly accurate corporate monitoring and person monitoring that can contribute to decision-making.

【OSINTResearch application example]

Public opinion analysis
By analyzing the data posted on SNS posts and media such as newspapers, it is possible to measure the manifestation of public opinion.By detecting a specific topic and analyzing the sentiment for that topic, you can understand the trends and feelings toward the topic and observe their changes.It is also possible to predict in advance the possibility that public opinion will move significantly.

Corporate monitoring (scheduled to start later this year)
Monitor the influence that governments and major companies in specific countries, which are closely watched, have on foreign companies.By visualizing the correlation between how much and what kind of influence it has, it will be possible to understand not only the connections between companies that have not been seen until now, but also the power balance.

Person monitoring(Scheduled to start later this year)
From the perspective of compliance, we analyze how major governments and companies in a specific country have relationships with overseas companies through investment.

Here, a company or a person corresponds to this) and an edge connecting the nodes (meaning "branch". Representing the connection between nodes. Depending on the strength of the connection. It is weighted and thickened) to express the connection between companies and people.Since the nodes connected by thick edges are visualized as "company / person with strong network", it is possible to easily extract which company / person is functioning as a hub in the group to be surveyed.
