The company has customers in private and public sector organizations and a global user base spanning more than 70 countries. Dataminr detects early signals of emerging events and risks so customers can know critical information first, respond with confidence, and manage crises more effectively.
Headquartered in New York, Dataminr has focused on real-time event and risk detection for a decade. The company detects early signals from publicly available information on social networks, blogs, information sensors and the deep web/dark web and generates early alerts in real time.
The company is rapidly expanding its sales force across the globe to meet the growing global demand for products. Australia is the new strategic pillar and base for the company’s expansion in the APAC region.
Jonathan Barrett, Dataminr’s senior vice president of sales for EMEA and APAC, said the group’s expansion into Australia is a key pillar of its APAC strategy.
“Our goal is to serve a broad range of businesses so they can mobilize faster and more effectively in an increasingly fast-paced and dynamic risk landscape. »
“The current bushfires ravaging Australia demonstrate a situation where the Dataminr platform could be leveraged for early detection of high-impact events. Dataminr’s real-time alerts could help first responders, regional businesses and media inform and protect residents, homes and business assets.
“We want to provide Australian and New Zealand businesses with a globally recognized capability to leverage real-time public data to protect employees, customers, brands and assets. Australia suffers from the burden of distance and Dataminr can quickly inform its customers of regional issues, benefiting our mining industry, transport and logistics companies, and emergency services,” said Rod Moynihan, ANZ Group Managing Director.
