Our Expertise

Martin Boyd founded Vertex Cyber Security in 2016 with a mission to provide relevant, actionable and industry leading Cyber Security advice and services to Australian businesses.

Martin combines his innate passion for Cyber Security with a strong professional history in the field. His experience as Executive Manager – Cyber Security with one of Australia’s largest banks (CBA), combined with his educational leadership whilst working with the Cyber Security Hub at Macquarie University uniquely positions him as a leader in this industry.

Who we help

We have deep experience working with organisations across a range of industries including Banking & Financial Services, Education, Startups, FinTech, RegTech, PropTech, Property, Health, Government and Construction.

We are passionate about delivering real-world solutions to the cyber risks facing businesses today, regardless of organisational size or geographic location.

Assisting organisations with maximising their Cyber Security capabilities is a responsibility and privilege which we take very seriously.

We receive many automated security reports that we have historically found to be of very low value. To be honest it made us a little cynical. But when we received the hand-vetted penetration results from Vertex, it was delightful to have such clearly articulated security concerns, with detailed specifics, and suggested remediation strategies. It was a great benefit to the security of our project, our customers, and our communities.

Security of our customer’s data is so important for our software as a service business. Vertex helped us improve our security and we are now using their other security services. Vertex for us simply means a better peace of mind to enable us to focus on growing our business in today’s digital economy.

Modern communications expose businesses to existential risks. Vertex’s refreshingly concise assessment report and prioritised action list gives us confidence that we are doing our best to minimise these risks. The simplicity and expertise provided by Vertex was invaluable.

Vertex Technologies conducted security audits for MITIE. Following the audits we were provided with very comprehensive reports and we were provided with thorough briefings during which each of the vulnerabilities identified were explained. Based on our experience during these security audits, I would recommend Vertex technologies if you are considering a site security audit.

We had Vertex perform security work around our cloud environment and a number of websites. Their strategic advice, assistance and guidance was above and beyond expectations.

Martin and the team at Vertex Security delivered way above expectations. There was a level of care that goes beyond what you'd expect from a consultant and shows that they really care about the security outcomes for your company. Highly recommended!
