Luke Marsden

Luke spent 9 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, working in cyber security, Intelligence and ICT systems administration. From there, he left to work with Telstra as a Security Analyst at their Defence Security Operations Centre in Canberra, keeping watch over the military’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems, and responding to cyber security incidents. After his third daughter came along, he moved back to Adelaide to have better family support, taking a position with Deloitte as a specialist manager in Cyber Risk.

Working closely with stakeholders across the spectrum of government and industry including Energy Australia, RAA, Transport NSW, Brisbane City Council and The Department of Premier and Cabinet, Luke honed his ability to break down complex technical concepts into manageable, relevant packets of information applicable to his clients.

 After years of seeing small businesses left behind when it came to cyber security, Luke founded Australian Cyber Defence to bring enterprise-level protection, education and support to the people who need it most. His goal is simple – deliver big business security at a small business price, giving every organisation clear, affordable and effective ways to protect their data, their people and their reputation.
