A senior advisor based in Melbourne — not a call centre

CyberByte is locally owned and based in Melbourne — and because most of our work is delivered securely and remotely, we serve SMEs right across Australia. Plain English, on your timezone, and on-site in Melbourne where it genuinely helps.

  • Based in Melbourne, serving the CBD and greater Victoria.
  • On-site for kick-offs, board briefings and pen-test debriefs where it adds value.
  • Same-timezone responsiveness — no overnight ticket queues offshore.
  • One senior advisor on your engagement, start to finish.

Why it matters

Around 72% of Australia's cyber security workforce clusters in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Demand in Melbourne is high — and so is the noise. Most of what reaches your inbox is product, not advice.

CyberByte sits on your side of the table: independent of any vendor, paid only by you, and accountable to the outcome — not a licence-renewal target.

Services

Everything you need to find it, fix it, and keep it secure

One senior expert across the full lifecycle, with particular depth in Microsoft 365, identity, cloud security and practical remediation.

01 · AssessFind exactly where you're exposed — in business language, with evidence.
Flagship practice

Microsoft Security

For many organisations, Microsoft 365 is central to email, identity, files and collaboration — making its configuration a critical part of the attack surface. Default or partially configured controls can leave avoidable gaps. We assess where you're exposed, harden it to a defensible baseline, and keep it secure — independently, and led by a senior, hands-on practitioner.

The threat is local too

Cybercrime isn't an offshore problem. It lands on Melbourne businesses every day — and the reports keep climbing.

You don't need a fear pitch. You need a clear-eyed read of where you actually stand, and the smallest credible step to lift it. That's the whole job.
