“Nuix Adaptive Security is allowing us to use digital forensic techniques as part of traditional investigation but in a proactive stance. This ability allows us to establish facts in a fast-moving investigation involving issues such as data exfiltration, bullying and harassment claims and policy breaches. We can now do this in a way that preserves the confidentiality of those involved as well as the integrity of the data examined.”

“Digital forensic techniques have been traditionally deployed as part of investigations or litigation – but sometimes weeks or months after an alleged event or incident has occurred. This can create obvious challenges. Nuix Adaptive Security now gives us an advantage allowing us to identify risks or concerns in near to or in real-time."

“We have had repeated success with our Digital Forensic Insider Threat (DFIT) proposition, which utilises Nuix Adaptive Security, in helping our clients deal with some of the issues mentioned above and the insider threat as a whole.”
