BlueFoot's FITT Product Suite

Adversarial nations are actively influencing and stealing U.S. technology. BlueFoot's FITT (Foreign Influence in Technology Transfer) product suite uncovers that foreign influence, so you can identify whether your company, your affiliates, and your supply chains are under attack.

Our FITT product suite analyzes BlueFoot's proprietary data sets, which integrate patent data, financial and market data, publication data, and global corporate tree data, to identify potential threat actors from adversarial nations. These potential threat actors, which include both companies and persons, engage in IP theft by transferring patents and technologies to entities in adversarial nations. The FITT product suite considers multiple factors in identifying adversarial nation entities. It's not a simple question of whether a company has an office in an adversarial nation entity. FITT considers the full corporate tree of a company and its headquarters, to make the determination that a specific entity (and its associated people) may be tied to an adversarial nation.

This important capability has been codified and mandated for government due diligence in congressional bill S.4900 (SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022) which mandates the establishment of a “due diligence program to assess security risks” which must use a “risk-based approach” that considers “patent analysis” and “financial ties and obligations... of the small business concern to a foreign country, foreign person, or foreign entity.” BlueFoot's FITT product suite has already been integrated via API into government platforms.
