“The team at Australian Cyber Defence has been a lifesaver for us! We’re not tech-savvy at all, so having Luke and his team handle our IT and security needs has taken a huge weight off our shoulders. We used to spend so much time worrying about tech issues, but now we can just focus on supporting our community. Luke made everything easy to understand, and he found a plan that keeps us secure and fits our budget. We’re so thankful for the support!”

Niki Lehmann Executive Officer - Autism NT

“Managing compliance and data security for offshore resources can be tough, especially when it comes to making sure access to sensitive client data is strictly controlled. The team at Australian Cyber Defence makes it much easier. They’re proactive in spotting potential issues and ensuring our security is always up to scratch, so our clients’ data is well protected. They take the time to explain things clearly, so we always know how our clients and their teams are being safeguarded. Working with them is straightforward and stress-free, and we can always count on fast, reliable support when we need it.”

Thomas Hill Director - Expanding Teams

"Working with Australian Cyber Defence feels like a true partnership. Luke and his team are not only quick to respond to tickets and phone calls but are always one step ahead, identifying opportunities to automate and streamline our IT processes. Their proactive approach to protecting our sensitive client information and reputation has given us great peace of mind. With clear communication and fast, efficient support, we no longer have to worry about delays or unresolved issues. We finally feel confident and well-supported in all our cybersecurity needs."

Brendan Hookway Partner - HU Partners

“As the CEO of Playground123, having Luke as our CTO has been a huge asset to our team. He’s been instrumental in guiding us through the complexities of cybersecurity, especially when it comes to meeting the strict requirements of local councils and government bodies. Luke takes the time to understand our business and tech needs, helping us make smart decisions that keep everything secure and compliant. His hands-on approach and clear advice have made a big difference in getting us where we need to be, and we feel confident with him on our side.”

Robert Fleming CEO - Playground123

“Working with Australian Cyber Defence has been a real relief for us at Plansure. As a financial planning firm, we handle a lot of sensitive client information, and cyber security is something we knew was important, but didn’t really know how to implement. Luke’s team has made sure we’re always up to date with the latest protections, and they’ve taken the stress out of managing our IT and security. What really stands out is how Luke takes the time to explain things in simple terms, so we always know exactly where we stand. They’re quick to pick up the phone when we need support and are always on the ball. Proactive, responsive, and genuinely caring about our business—everything runs smoothly, and we can focus on what we do best.”

Catherine James Owner - Plansure

Great talk on Social Engineering! I really enjoyed it! Your insights into evolving threats and the importance of awareness and security policies were spot on. I look forward to seeing you in the Top End again!
