--> May 1, 2023 Achieving Affordable and Efficient Web Brand SECURITY with AI GMO BRAND SECURITY Inc. (President and CEO: Mitsuaki Nakagawa, hereinafter GMO BRAND SECURITY), which provides brand SECURITY services under the GMO Internet Group, has released a new service on Monday, May 1, 2023, called "GMO Brand Surveillance". This service offers a one-stop solution for web brand infringement, from detection to monitoring and takedown of infringing activities. [Background of Service Launch] With the spread of the Internet and the development of e-commerce, the sales and purchasing behaviors of goods and services over the Internet have increased. Correspondingly, reports of fraudulent sites impersonating brands have surged in recent years. (※1) While the number of choices on the Internet has increased for both businesses and consumers, the methods of brand infringement have diversified, increasing the risk of fraudulent sites, phishing sites, and counterfeit product sales sites, which threaten brand trust and customer safety. Previously, such risks were predominantly faced by large companies selling a wide range of products and services. However, with the expansion of Internet use and the progression of business digitization, it has become necessary for companies of all sizes to take countermeasures. However, for medium and small businesses, while they recognize the threat of brand infringement, monitoring numerous websites, marketplaces, and social media platforms, and dealing with detected infringements is complex and challenging to manage independently. Additionally, traditional human-based brand infringement monitoring is very costly, posing a high barrier for medium and small businesses considering outsourcing these measures. To address these challenges, we have developed a brand infringement countermeasure service that leverages AI to reasonably solve the issues of workload and cost.
