NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) ("UBIC" or "the Company"), a leading provider of AI-based, big data analysis services, announced today that on September 16 it will launch an information leakage solution service using the combination of Lit i View EMAIL AUDITOR (LiV EMAIL AUDITOR), its automated email auditing system, and m-FILTER, an email security software program developed by Digital Arts Inc. The solution will be sold through Digital Arts.
Ever since announcing their business alliance in May 2015, UBIC and Digital Arts have been working on ways of integrating LiV EMAIL AUDITOR and m-FILTER. Now, the two companies have succeeded in making it possible to smoothly execute the process of email auditing by using m-FILTER Archive's advanced email collecting and preserving functions. Customers using this new solution can easily transfer email data from m-FILTER to LiV EMAIL AUDITOR through the export function of m-FILTER. It will now be possible to quickly identify emails sent or received by suspicious persons subject to audit and to restrict the sending and receiving of emails by such persons.
The most prominent feature of this solution focuses attention on the conception phase of fraud. In the conception phase, insiders who may engage in fraudulent activities exhibit suspicious signs, such as discontent and anxiety, before moving to the preparation and execution phases of fraud. This new solution also identifies fraud risks in the preparation and execution phases, enabling the prevention or detection of fraud at an early stage. The Risk Prediction function, the latest addition to LiV EMAIL AUDITOR's functionality, also makes it possible to estimate how far in the future an act of fraud may be committed. Many of these features identify potential patterns of fraud based on comparisons to existing data accumulated by UBIC related to fraud.
Companies introducing this solution will be able to detect signs of potential leakage of confidential information at an early stage and take measures to prevent that leakage. In particular, the solution may provide effective protection against information leakage for companies where email auditing by human examiners is insufficient or impractical, such as companies with thousands of employees, companies handling a massive volumes of confidential data, or companies whose operations are scattered across various countries. The introduction of this solution has the potential to reduce the time required for email auditing by a factor of 500 to 1,000, when compared with the time required for human auditing.
Following the launch of the solution service, Digital Arts and UBIC will promote the dissemination of new information security products and services using AI and will consider the possibility of using Digital Arts' I FILTER web security software program and UBIC's AI-base products in combination.
