Hey, it’s Paul for a short and final note in 2025! 👋

Thank you.

You’ve put your trust in our hardworking Aussie team to deliver a defensive posture that keeps you out of the news, 24/7/365. Our growing team take this responsibility seriously.

Ok, we’ve had a fantastic year together. Take a moment to celebrate them with me.

Here are some of the most memorable moments this year:

Chatting with Aussie Schools

This year, I’ve loved connecting with Australian schools and customers through webinars.

Together with Taylor Made Sales and Brenton Harty from PLC Melbourne, we had a frank and unfiltered discussion on the real challenges Australian schools are facing now and what lies ahead in 2026. A truly top-shelf discussion that I’m excited to have more of next year.

We also launched Futureproof EDU in the later half of this year. We ran two sessions on protecting school communications and securing digital workspaces. I’m excited to keep it going in 2026.

Out and About

Back in May, Paul Murray (aka P2), Dustin, Tarscha, Paul Hart (aka P3) and I had a blast chatting with school IT leaders at AISNSW about all things cyber across school IT in Australia. It was a revellation to connect with so many customers as a team and we’ll 100% be back in 2026!

Later in the year, we headed to QISS on the Gold Coast, and in November, we sponsored the Sanctuary Cove Golf Pros Shootout and had a great chance to give back to the local community.

Building Lumara

Behind the scenes, we’ve been work hard evolving our SecOps offering and thus Lumara was born! Better visibility across your environment, faster response times, and direct support from our SOC team. I can’t wait to tell you more about it in 2026.

SOC Advisories

We’ve been much better at publishing security advisories throughout the year, and it’s been great to hear how helpful clients find them.

A Fun Little Win

In October, we picked up the Gold Coast Business Excellence Award in the IT and Digital Business category. Kim, Dustin, P2, and I had a great time at the event, connecting with other talented Gold Coast businesses doing amazing work in our community.

We’re Queenslanders through and through, and we’re really proud of what we’ve built here on the Gold Coast.

The Team Behind It All

Our growth this year is down to the people behind it. It’s amazing to work alongside such talented people, and I can’t wait to see what we achieve together in 2026. Swipe below to see the wonderful faces that make up Secure ISS.
