It extends privileged access management into continuous, just-in-time authorization across on-premises, multi-cloud, and ephemeral infrastructure, reducing standing privilege and minimizing risk without disruption. The platform applies AI to constantly discover identities, analyze risk, and enforce least privilege at the moment of action, so every access decision is auditable and defensible.

Cyber security got complicated. We’re making it simple again.

Most organisations don’t have a cyber security technology problem. They have a complexity problem.

More tools. More dashboards. More alerts. More data. More suppliers. More cost. Yet somehow, not always more confidence.

ConnectProtect® is the Connected Security Platform built to change that.

We bring security technology, threat intelligence and 24×7×365 human expertise together to give organisations greater visibility, faster understanding and clearer action - without adding another layer of Complexity.

Our approach starts outside the perimeter. ConnectProtect Horizon continuously monitors how your organisation looks from an attacker’s perspective, while ConnectProtect Realm extends that visibility across the suppliers and third parties your business depends on.

ConnectProtect Core brings protection inside the organisation with endpoint monitoring, while ConnectProtect Unity goes further, connecting security signals from across your network, identity, applications, endpoints and wider technology environment.

And because more security data shouldn’t mean a bigger bill, our commercial model is refreshingly different. We don’t charge by data ingestion. Our pricing is designed to be fixed, predictable and easy to understand.

Technology matters. AI matters. But people still matter too.

That’s why ConnectProtect combines intelligent technology with real security analysts who monitor, investigate and respond 24×7×365.

We believe serious cyber security shouldn’t require endless complexity, unpredictable costs or an enterprise-sized security team.

AI speed. Human judgement. Predictable costs.

Come and Challenge Us.

If you’re attending e-Crime Mid-Year 2026, come and meet ConnectProtect and see what making cyber security simple again actually looks like.

LMNTRIX is an Australian-founded cybersecurity company delivering AI-driven Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) for organisations that want outcomes, not more tools.

Built by practitioners, not investors, LMNTRIX was designed to solve a simple problem: security teams are overwhelmed by alerts, fragmented platforms, and slow investigations. Instead of stitching together acquired products, LMNTRIX engineered a unified XDR platform from the ground up that brings endpoint, network, identity, cloud, deception, intelligence, and exposure validation into a single, correlated system.

At the core is an agentic AI architecture that combines autonomous reasoning with human oversight. Artemis, the investigation engine, correlates telemetry, hunts threats, and triggers response actions automatically. LISA, the conversational assistant, works alongside analysts to explain incidents, recommend actions, and streamline workflows. Together, they automate the majority of Tier-1 and Tier-2 tasks so security teams can focus on what actually matters.

The result is faster detection, dramatically reduced noise, and measurable operational gains. Customers use LMNTRIX to cut false positives, shrink investigation times from hours to minutes, and improve resilience without adding complexity.

Vendor-agnostic by design and deployable in days, not months, LMNTRIX integrates with existing security stacks while providing the intelligence and automation modern SOCs need.

No hype. No bolt-ons. Just practical AI that works in production.

Unified. Intelligent. Built to outperform.

BlackNeuron is a scenario-based, controlled DDoS testing and resilience engineering practice for organisations that rely on always-on digital services. We help security and engineering teams validate how their environments behave under realistic stress before real attackers do, then translate findings into measurable reinforcements.

Our approach combines hands-on expertise with AI-assisted attack simulation to exercise multi-vector scenarios across L3/L4/L7, including critical dependencies such as applications, APIs, and DNS. We work across cloud and on-prem environments and focus on outcomes CISOs can trust: clarity, prioritisation, and evidence.

Typical engagement outputs include:

A realistic test plan with proof: real-world DDoS scenarios with measurable results (uptime, latency, error rates).
A clear “fix-first” action plan: prioritized steps to strengthen architecture, protections, and operational readiness.
Incident playbooks that work in real time: step-by-step response guides and fast escalation paths to providers and internal owners.

BlackNeuron is designed primarily for teams that want more than a one-time assessment—repeatable readiness, measurable proof, and practical engineering improvements that reduce DDoS risk over time.
