Integrated IT and Cyber. One reliable partner
Plan Protect Perform
Next Cyber is an Australian managed IT, cyber security and consulting provider. We provide a single, unified team to run your service desk, secure your operations, and consult on your technology roadmap — and we answer for all three.
The common ways in are already known
ASD’s 2024–25 Cyber Threat Report recorded phishing as an initial-access technique in 38% of incidents reported to ASD’s ACSC. Where data was encrypted, the most common paths in were already-compromised accounts and legitimate external-facing services.
The activity after access can be highly sophisticated. The point is that the first foothold often relies on known weaknesses in accounts, people and internet-facing systems.
That makes routine ownership security work. One team needs to be accountable for identities, internet-facing systems, logging, patching, backups and the response when a control fails.
The full report, in five charts
Bars use a 0–40% scale. Technique percentages overlap because more than one can be identified in a single incident. Source: ASD Cyber Threat Report 2024–25, which records reported incidents rather than every incident in Australia.
Nine services. One team. One number to call
Take the lot, or take the parts you are missing. Either way it is the same engineers, the same reporting and the same agreement.

Assess. Plan. Protect. Perform
Four stages, in order, because you cannot protect what you have not counted and you cannot budget for what you have not planned.
-
Assess
We inventory every asset, identity, licence and control, test your backups, and score you against the Essential Eight. You get a written position — yours to keep, whether or not you engage us.
-
Plan
We turn the findings into a costed, sequenced roadmap: what to fix now, what to fund this financial year, what can wait, and what it will cost either way.
-
Protect
Transition and uplift. Controls deployed, devices enrolled, identities hardened, documentation written. Run in parallel with your incumbent until the cutover is clean.
-
Perform
Steady state. Service desk, monitoring, patching and reporting, with a quarterly review where we show you the numbers and revise the roadmap.
Different industries. The same accountability
We work from small business to government. The common thread is accountability for sensitive data, reliable operations and controls that stand up to clients, insurers, regulators or boards.
- Professional & financial servicesLegal, accounting, advisory, insurance, funds and creative practices
- Health, care & educationClinics, providers, schools, RTOs and early learning
- Government & communityCouncils, agencies, charities, clubs and member organisations
- Construction, engineering & propertyBuilders, design practices, strata and property groups
- Industry, resources & logisticsManufacturing, mining, energy, agriculture, transport and distribution
- Retail, hospitality & multi-sitePOS, seasonal workforces and distributed operations
We are vendor-aligned, not vendor-owned. Every recommendation names the alternative we did not pick and says why.
