Nuix Pty Ltd is an Australian technology company that produces a software platform for indexing, searching, analyzing and extracting knowledge from unstructured data. It has applications that include digital investigation, cybersecurity, e-Discovery, information governance, and email migration and privacy. As of January 2017, the software platform was reportedly used by at least 1800 customers in 65 countries.[1] The company has headquarters in Sydney (Australia) and offices in Conshohocken, Herndon, San Francisco and New York (United States); Cork (Ireland); and London (United Kingdom).

History

Nuix was founded in 2000 with the goal to "make vast quantities of unstructured data easily searchable".[3] From 2006, the company grew from just two developers to more than 400 employees.[4][2]

In 2010 Nuix was awarded a five-year contract by the Securities and Exchange Commission.[5] In 2014 the company was appointed an Industry Partner of the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats.[6] In 2017, the Nuix Board of Directors appointed Rod Vawdrey to the position of Chief Executive Officer.[7]

Technology and products

Nuix markets eDiscovery, digital investigation, security & intelligence and information governance solutions based on the Nuix Engine. The Nuix Engine combines load balancing, fault tolerance and processing technologies to provide insights from large volumes of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data. Several features of the Nuix Engine were granted a patent in 2011.[8]

In November 2016, Nuix announced a new analysis platform called Nuix Insight Analytics & Intelligence[9] and an endpoint security product, Nuix Insight Adaptive Security, that integrates cybersecurity threat prevention, detection, response, remediation, and deception.[10]

Uses

Nuix donated software licences and training to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), who used Nuix to investigate the Offshore Leaks data.[11] Süddeutsche Zeitung and the ICIJ also used it to analyze the "Panama Papers".[12] Using Nuix’s software, the Panama Papers investigation team made 2.6 terabytes of scanned documents text-searchable and extracted metadata that helped journalists cross-reference people, places and business entities across these documents.[13]

Philanthropy

In October 2015, Nuix reported that it had raised more than $250,000 for Room to Read from its philanthropic product Proof Finder.[14]
