Trans-Tasman Businesses Get 24/7 Cyber Protection as Insicon Cyber Opens Expanded SOC

Leading cybersecurity advisory firm transforms into comprehensive MSSP with New Zealand expansion and ASEAN growth plans

Sydney, Australia. 25^th September 2025 – Insicon Cyber has officially opened its expanded office and security operations centre and launched services in New Zealand, marking the company's evolution from pure cybersecurity advisory to a comprehensive managed security service provider (MSSP) delivering 24/7 protection for organisations across Australia and New Zealand, with planned expansion into selected ASEAN markets.

The larger facility houses Insicon Cyber's adaptive Security Operations Centre (aSOC), powered by best-of-breed security technologies including Google SecOps, Trend Vision One, SentinelOne, Horizon3.ai, Stellar Cyber, and Cloudflare, providing continuous threat detection and response capabilities across the trans-Tasman region.

Bridging the Strategy-to-Operations Gap

CEO and co-founder Matt Miller said the expansion addresses a critical gap in the trans-Tasman cybersecurity market, where organisations struggle to translate strategic security advice into effective operational protection.

Businesses across Australia and New Zealand have told us they need more than cybersecurity advice. They need comprehensive partners who understand both the boardroom and the server room," Miller said. "After three years of doubling our revenue each year and almost trebling our team size over the last 12 months alone, our expanded security operations centre enables us to deliver strategic advisory backed by continuous operational excellence, reducing vendor complexity while strengthening cyber resilience across both countries.

The company's enhanced service portfolio now includes managed security services, SOC operations, managed IT services, technology application and acquisition guidance, alongside its established executive advisory and compliance expertise across the Essential Eight, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and industry-specific frameworks such as APRA CPS 234.

Intelligence-Driven Adaptive Security Operations

Insicon Cyber's aSOC goes beyond traditional managed detection and response (MDR) models, incorporating intelligence-driven capabilities that adapt to evolving threat landscapes.

The centre leverages advanced security technologies to provide:

• Continuous Threat Detection
• Autonomous Risk Reduction
• Endpoint Protection
• Attack Surface Management
• Network Security
• Compliance Monitoring

Addressing AI Governance and Emerging Threats

With artificial intelligence accelerating both business opportunities and security risks, Insicon Cyber has adopted ISO 42001:2023 as the foundation for helping organisations navigate AI governance challenges.

"AI is reshaping the threat landscape faster than traditional security models can adapt, " Miller explained. "Our aSOC is designed to address both offensive and defensive aspects of cybersecurity while ensuring operations remain aligned with compliance frameworks in this rapidly evolving environment.

Trans-Tasman Expertise with ASEAN Growth Plans

The expansion strengthens Insicon Cyber's position as a trusted partner for organisations across Australia and New Zealand navigating regulatory landscapes including Australia's Cyber Security Act, Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act and New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020, with comprehensive quality management support through ISO 9001 frameworks.

COO and co-founder Greg Bunt said, "Understanding trans-Tasman business cultures and regulatory requirements isn't optional in cybersecurity. It's essential. Our expertise across both countries, combined with global threat intelligence, ensures organisations get protection that's both comprehensive and contextually relevant to their operating environment."

The company has announced plans for selective expansion into ASEAN markets over the next 18 months, targeting organisations that require consistent security standards across multiple jurisdictions. This future expansion will leverage the proven trans-Tasman model while adapting to the diverse regulatory frameworks across Southeast Asia.

Technology Partnership Strategy

Insicon Cyber's technology stack reflects a careful selection of vendors that integrate to provide unified security management:

• Google SecOps provides massively scalable cloud-native security analytics and SIEM capabilities
• Trend Micro Vision One centralises security operations, managing cyber risk exposure across diverse environments
• SentinelOne Singularity offers autonomous endpoint protection with AI-powered threat hunting across the enterprise
• Horizon3.ai enables continuous attack surface management and autonomous penetration testing
• Cloudflare secures web applications and networks against sophisticated attacks
• Stellar Cyber offers a unified, simplified, and automated security operations platform

Market Response and Growth

The expansion comes as organisations across Australia and New Zealand increasingly seek integrated cybersecurity solutions that reduce vendor complexity while improving security outcomes.

The cybersecurity industry is maturing across both Australia and New Zealand, and with that maturity comes a shift in what organisations expect from their security partners," Miller said. "We're responding to trans-Tasman demand for integrated solutions that deliver both strategic insight and operational excellence, with plans to extend this model into selected ASEAN markets where we see similar demand patterns."

Future-Ready Security Operations

Looking ahead, Insicon Cyber plans to continue expanding its aSOC capabilities to address emerging threats and regulatory changes across the trans-Tasman region. The company is actively developing enhanced AI governance services and expanding its incident response capabilities, with strategic expansion into selected ASEAN markets planned for 2026, focusing on markets where organisations require cross-border compliance and consistent security standards.
