--To the press -

Established "Advanced Information Analysis Division", a forensic analysis team, a development and execution unit for complex and large-capacity data (big data) analysis technology that makes full use of artificial intelligence.

Along with that, the forensic lab "FOC" has also been renewed.

 UBIC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President Masahiro Morimoto), which is engaged in big data analysis business that makes full use of artificial intelligence and is listed on TSE Mothers, has newly established the "Advanced Information Analysis Division". However, we have built a system that can make more effective use of our cutting-edge technology.Along with this, the forensic laboratory in the head office has been significantly renewed and named "FOC (Forensics Operation Center)" and will start operation from May 5.

 By newly establishing the "Advanced Information Analysis Division" and establishing a new system for the forensic analysis team, we have built an environment where our cutting-edge technology can be further utilized. The "Advanced Information Analysis Division" is in charge of forensic research that makes full use of artificial intelligence application technology and big data analysis technology, grasps the needs of research analysis at the front line, and develops improvement points and more effective utilization methods. Immediately inform the team and reflect it in development.With this new system, the site and the development team will work together to improve the technology and provide more advanced information analysis services.
 Taking advantage of our track record of supporting many cases, we have provided the methods necessary for investigations to law enforcement agencies for cybercrime countermeasures.There are only a few companies in Japan that offer digital forensic products to law enforcement agencies.In particular, we have not only established industry standards as a pioneer, but we are also a major leader in artificial intelligence application technology and analysis of Asian languages.
 
 Most of the analysis software for forensic tools is made overseas, such as in the United States, and most of them have not reached the practical level in supporting double-byte characters such as Japanese.Furthermore, the key to forensic research is "can we find the target data in a limited amount of time from a huge amount of data?"Clients requesting surveys are constantly forced to fight time.The longer the investigation, the greater the damage and the greater the risk of damaging corporate value such as brand and credibility.However, the research work is extremely complicated, and important information cannot be found only by existing technologies such as keyword search, and it is often necessary to rely on the surveyor's “Kan” in the end.The number of surveyors is limited, and even experienced surveyors lose their speed and accuracy due to fatigue caused by long hours of work if there is a large amount of data.In addition, it requires enormous man-hours and enormous costs.
 
 To overcome these barriers, we have developed an artificial intelligence application technology called "Predictive Coding®".This is to let a computer take over most of the analysis work by letting artificial intelligence teach the judgment and investigation pattern when a veteran investigator finds evidence from electronic data in document review.Become an excellent assistant to the Surveyor, Advanced Information Analysis Division, and automatically sort sentences in order of importance.The analysis speed is about 4000 times that of a skilled surveyor.The accuracy is over 90%.Currently, there are only a few companies in the world, including us, that analyze data using this technology, and we are the only company that fully supports Asian languages.It also supports further multilingualization of survey data such as Russian.
 
 Making full use of these technologies, we are engaged in research projects that are becoming a hot topic in the world every day.We aim to realize faster surveys by having surveyors and development teams instantly realize the functions required in the field and build a flexible system that can be used from the next day.
 
About the forensic dedicated lab "FOC (Forensics Operation Center)"
 In order to respond to such speed, the forensic lab has been significantly renewed along with the establishment of the "Advanced Information Analysis Division".Here, we have created an environment where surveyors can think more creatively by emphasizing functionality for developing new advanced analysis technology as well as analysis work.
 
 Digital forensics will be more closely watched in Japan in the future, such as national security measures for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and security at the summit (Group of Eight) scheduled for 2016. Will be done.In order to fully meet the needs of the world, we will further enhance the research technology development by the Advanced Information Analysis Division.
