Kürt Information Security and Data Recovery Ltd.

Initially, it specialized in the repair of magnetic data storage devices (magnetic disks, hard drives). In 1993, it was among the first in the world to develop data recovery technology.

Their activities also extend to data backup, IT security, consulting, and risk management.

The goal: to make the data recovery service available in 16 countries:

In the beginning, the key role in the projects was played by those who developed a new technology for a given data recovery challenge (based on János Kürti's 1978 patent), after which those who were able to sell this knowledge came to the fore. In the third step, the work of those who were able to build a brand around the technology and sales (marketing, PR) should be highlighted.

Furthermore:

real-time software quality assurance

numerous data recovery-related patents.

In 1998, KÜRT COMPUTER Rendszerház Limited Liability Company was established, thus the limited liability company became a joint-stock company.

In 2003, the company founded its German subsidiary called KUERT Datenrettung Deutschland.

In 2004, the company's Austrian subsidiary was established under the name KUERT Information Management.

In 2006, the company took on its current name: KÜRT Information Security and Data Recovery Ltd.

They received their first contract from the Red Army, ordering ten magnetic disk washing and cleaning machines. Although magnetic disks were produced in Eastern countries, at first only Kürt Ltd. could provide the associated maintenance technology. The washing equipment was constructed from a Lada car wiper motor and a Hajdu washing machine motor.

For the development and successful application of data recovery technology, Kürt won the Hungarian Innovation Grand Prize for the most significant innovation in 1994.

In 1995, they helped INTERPOL because the American competitor was unable to recover the data.

The company has nearly 20 years of data recovery experience and performs ~2,500 successful data recovery operations per year.

Kürt's technology was purchased in countries on 3 continents and in 2007, subsidiaries were opened in Dubai and the United States.

The news of the Kürt was covered by the world press and featured in the most important foreign media outlets. (Business Week, Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN)

In 2014, the company became the first technology company to become a Hungarikum (just like pálinka or Unicum).

Kürt Zrt. offered its data recovery capacity following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the tsunami in the Far East in December 2004, the hurricane in New Orleans in August 2005, and the floods in Hungary in 2010.
