The attackers are automated. So are we.
Layered, continuously monitored protection for the systems your business runs on — built in, not bolted on.
Nobody is picking targets any more
We put a server online that served a blank page and logged every request. The first probe arrived 36 seconds later; 3,270 followed in 54 days. None of them were aimed at that server in particular. Scanning, credential testing and exploit attempts are scripted and continuous, and increasingly assisted by the same AI tools everyone else uses. Defence has to run on the same terms: automated, layered, watched, and assuming any single control can fail.
Defence in depth, named
Each layer stands on its own. Together they mean one failure is an incident report, not a breach.
Web application firewall
Our own firewall in front of every property we host, inspecting each request in under half a millisecond. Blocked traffic is logged and auditable.
Talk to an engineerContinuous scanning
Automated vulnerability scanning of hosts, dependencies and exposed services, with findings triaged and patched rather than filed.
Talk to an engineerAI-assisted log monitoring
Logs from firewall, servers and applications are watched continuously for patterns no person could read at that volume. A person gets the alert.
Talk to an engineerPenetration testing
Scheduled testing of applications and infrastructure, with a written report of what was tried, what held and what we changed.
Talk to an engineerHardened infrastructure
Patched operating systems, least-privilege access, rootless containers, encrypted backups held in-country.
Talk to an engineerIncident response
A documented plan and a known team. Average first response is four minutes, and every incident ends in a plain-English account.
Talk to an engineerWhat happens, and when
Baseline
We assess what you run against the ACSC Essential Eight and the OWASP Top Ten, in plain language, and write down what is covered, what isn't and what it would take.
Protect
Firewall on, scanning scheduled, logging and monitoring configured, access tightened. For systems we host this is the default; for others it is a project.
Watch
Continuous monitoring with alerts that reach an engineer. Monthly reporting on what was blocked, found and fixed.
Test and improve
Periodic penetration testing and review. Findings become work, not a PDF.
Answers for clients, insurers and regulators
Where the data is
Sydney, Melbourne or Auckland, backups in-country, access logged. One sentence, defensible.
What you do about security
A firewall log, a scan history, a test report and a monitoring record. Evidence rather than assurance.
What happened
When there is an incident, a written account of cause, impact and change, in language a board can read.
A server that served nothing
until the first probe reached a server that had never been announced anywhere

Questions about security
We're a 30-person business. Are we really a target?
Yes, because nobody is choosing. Scanners test every address on the internet, and a business with a customer database, an invoicing system and an email domain is exactly what automated attacks are written for. The research above was a server with nothing on it.
Does this only cover systems you host?
No. For systems we host the layers are on by default and included in the monthly fee. For systems elsewhere we start with an assessment and quote the work to bring them up to the same baseline, or to monitor them where they are.
What do you mean by AI-assisted monitoring?
Our monitoring uses machine-learning models to find patterns across firewall, server and application logs that no person could read at that volume: a slow credential-stuffing run, an unusual data export, a new scanning signature. The model raises it; an engineer decides what to do.
Can you help with the Essential Eight or a client security questionnaire?
Yes. We map what you run against the Essential Eight and tell you plainly which maturity level you meet and what the next one would take. For questionnaires, we fill in the technical sections and give you the evidence behind each answer.
What does it cost?
For hosted systems, nothing beyond the monthly fee; the layers are part of running the environment. Assessments and penetration tests are fixed-price. Monitoring for systems we don't host is a fixed monthly fee set by what is being watched.
