About Nuix
Nuix is a software development company with its headquarters based in Sydney, Australia. The company develops innovative software to harness the power of unstructured data to its full potential.

And, Nuix’s technology helps in visualizing and analyzing this chaotic data into something more meaningful that businesses could use to increase their growth. The six primary products of the company are Nuix Adaptive Security, Nuix Automation, Nuix Discover, Nuix Investigate, Nuix Enterprise Collection Center, and Nuix Workstation.
David Sitsky – Brain Behind the Technology
David Sitsky is the main brain behind founding Nuix. He had immense knowledge in complex operating systems and large-scale parallel computing. He dedicated his career to developing algorithms that could search through search and analyze through the unstructured and messy data from emails and any social platforms. He understood that his idea has good potential when one of the largest employers in Canberra used his algorithm to find some inappropriate image that was attached to an email. After the attempt was successful, it became the first evidence that Sistky’s algorithm is very powerful and it could find things with forensic accuracy. Even today people of the company believe that Sitsky was able to build software like this because he was able to imagine the amount of unstructured data that will generate in the future.
