The collaboration combines Fivecast’s advanced AI-powered OSINT technology with NCD’s expertise in cyber threat intelligence and Japanese cyber security needs, delivering actionable intelligence tailored to Japan. Fivecast’s solutions enable comprehensive data collection across the surface, deep, and dark web, while NCD ensures these insights are adapted to local contexts for effective mitigation strategies. Together, they work on projects with the Japanese government to enhance cyber threat identification to address cybercrime, counter disinformation, and strengthening resilience.

NCD CEO Cartan McLaughlin added, “This collaboration enables us to leverage Fivecast’s capabilities to deliver in-depth OSINT and combat disinformation in Japan. Our shared mission is to provide Japan with the capabilities to respond proactively to emerging risks.” 

Malcolm Purcell, VP Sales APAC, Fivecast, said the collaboration mirrored the deepening nature of government and defence relations between Canberra and Tokyo, and that Fivecast valued NCD’s depth of experience and strong relationships at all levels of government in Japan. “Fivecast is proud to support NCD and the Japanese Government in their efforts to understand and counter disinformation and other persistent threats”, he said. 

This partnership reflects a commitment to supporting Japan’s cybersecurity and intelligence efforts by combining emerging technology with localized expertise. Together, NCD and Fivecast are providing organizations in Japan with critical tools to address current and future security challenges.
