The screen that is actually displayed as the "Central Linkage" function).
In the field of computer forensics investigation, it is important to accurately and promptly grasp the human relationships of the parties who are thought to have been involved in the incident.By using this technology, it is possible to extract e-mails that are presumed to be related to the incident and visualize the person who sent and received the e-mail according to the relevance to the incident.As a result, it is possible to grasp the true human relationship that considers "quality" rather than "frequency" of communication at an early stage, which enables quick evidence discovery.
By further promoting research and development of artificial intelligence application technology and acquisition of intellectual property, we will develop various data analysis solutions in new fields such as healthcare, marketing and business intelligence, including the legal field. We are aiming for it, and by realizing it, we will strive to create a better future.The impact of this matter on the full-year results will be minor.
