“We realised that to get the exacting level of accuracy, timeliness, and relevance of intelligence required by our customers we needed the speed and breadth of machine learning algorithms, but the judgment and contextual understanding that you only get through the tradecraft of trained analysts. The solution is what we call Distributed Intelligence Augmentation.” – Barend Lutz, CEO of VoxCroft told Disrupt Africa.
VoxCroft delivers the fastest and most reliable insight on critical security threats and changing global dynamics through a blend of artificial intelligence, data science, and unparalleled human expertise – giving its clients a powerful decision-making edge to shape public policy, protect their business and respond to crises with confidence.
Its machine learning algorithms process lakes of data, learns from client feedback, discovers critical patterns, and delivers information at unmatched speeds and scales. It collects information from open sources such as the web, radio and social media, then using advanced data analytics to add meta-data, analyse trends, and assess risks.
It leverages a global network of linguists, cultural experts, and security professionals to understand local dynamics shaping fast breaking events. Having ‘boots on the ground’ helps better analyse risk events, discover unique data points, and increases the accuracy and relevancy of its information. The company is continuously expanding its global team of over 60 specialist officers and contractors who work in both the private and public sectors.
VoxCroft’s Project Arrow is their clients’ eyes and ears on global security events and emerging trends impacting their business — all through a highly intuitive and cost-effective user interface. Arrow circumvents the need for large teams of analysts continuously monitoring global events and bypasses the bureaucracy that often impedes timely delivery of information to decision-makers.
