On-demand cybersecurity capability | Australia, Asia Pacific and North America
You know something needs doing.
Working out what, and in what order, is our job. Right-fit cybersecurity leadership, sized to the business you actually are. Two decades of it, more than twenty live incidents, and nothing to sell you.
Most people arrive here in one of three ways.
If one of these is you, you are in the right place and the conversation is already half done.
You know something needs doing, and cannot yet put words to it.
So the first piece of work is not a strategy. It is an honest look at what is actually there, and the order to fix it in.
Where this goes 02Your IT team is doing its best, with nobody above them owning security.
They can run the tools. What is missing is the person who decides what matters, and who sits in the room when somebody asks.
Where this goes 03Your security leader has just left, and you are weighing up what to do next.
The salary is not the only way to fill the seat, and you do not have to decide the whole answer before Monday.
Where this goesFive ways this usually starts.
Most engagements begin with one of these and end somewhere broader. You are not choosing a product.
Know where you actually stand, and the order to fix it in.
It starts with what is exposed today and ends with a plan you can fund, in the order that matters.

Operational technology runs through all five of these rather than sitting beside them as a separate line.
Read moreCybersecurity advice you can check the motive of.
An industry that sells the fix it recommends has a hard time being believed. GreenCyber sells nothing, resells nothing and takes no margin from anyone, which makes the advice plainer and the conversations shorter.
Written for the person who has to decide
Most cybersecurity writing is aimed at cybersecurity people. If you are the one who has to decide, fund it and answer for it, almost none of it is written for you. That is the gap we work in, and it is why you will not find a threat statistic at the top of this page.
You should not have to learn a second language to buy this. You should not have to know which framework applies to you, or what an acronym stands for, or whether the person across the table is recommending the thing that is best for you or the thing they happen to resell.
The three situations at the top of this page are where the work usually starts. Not one of them asks you to know what is wrong before you pick up the phone.
What independence buys you
GreenCyber sells no product, resells nothing and takes no margin from any vendor. If a commercial relationship sits anywhere near your engagement, you are told in writing before the work begins.
That is not a moral position so much as a practical one. Advice you can act on has to be advice you can check the motive of, and most of the industry cannot pass that test.
Senior led, and sized honestly
Every engagement is senior. We don't price in the senior leader then switch in the grads. Where your own team can do part of the work, they do it and it gets reviewed, which costs you less than having it written for you.
Engagements are sized to the organisation in front of us. A twelve person firm and a listed operator do not need the same programme, and pretending otherwise is how consultancies bill for reports nobody reads.
An enterprise programme shrunk to fit a mid sized business is not right sized. It is badly fitting, and everyone in the room knows it.
How we work
Senior led
You are engaging senior people, not a pyramid. Work is not sold by a partner and delivered by a graduate. Where specialist depth is needed it is contracted in, and the individual is named to you before they arrive.
Right sized, not scaled down
An enterprise framework shrunk to fit a mid sized organisation is not a right sized programme. It is a badly fitting one. We design for the organisation in front of us, including the team it can realistically hire.
Decision ready
Every engagement produces something you can act on and something you can hand over. To a board if you have one, and to the bank, the insurer or the customer who asked the question if you do not. Technical findings that never reach a decision are not findings, they are trivia.
Independent of the tool
No reselling and no margin on product. Where technology is assessed, the recommendation is the one we would make if nobody stood to benefit.
Knowledge transfer, or it did not work
The engagement ends with your people able to run what was built. An advisor you cannot get rid of is not an advisor.

Live incidents and ransomware attacks led through response
National advisory appointments held today
Products sold, vendors resold, or margin taken from anyone
The person you get
Twenty years, twenty incidents, and two national advisory seats.
Our founder, Adam Green, has led response through more than twenty live incidents and ransomware attacks, and holds appointments with the Australian Computer Society cyber advisory board and as a national ambassador for CI-ISAC Australia.
He also speaks and works as a conference MC, which is a separate brand and lives at adamgreen.ai.
I have nothing to sell you. No vendor alignments, no reselling, no margin taken from anyone.
Adam Green, founder
In front of a room
The work is explaining it, out loud, to people who have to act on it.
Keynotes, conference MC work and briefings across the Asia Pacific. The speaking is a separate brand and lives at adamgreen.ai. Nothing here is selling you a talk.
Free resources
Exposure snapshots, a ransomware recovery audit, an AI governance pack and more, at go.greencyber.ai.
Take a lookGiving something back
A defined share of every engagement is directed, at the client's election, to an environmental or a cancer research commitment. The schemes are being finalised, and they will be named.
Start a conversation
Tell us what is prompting this.
A first conversation is a conversation. You get a straight read on whether the work is worth doing at all, including when the answer is that it is not.
- Every enquiry is read by a senior leader. There is no sales sequence behind this form.
- Nothing is resold to you and no vendor introduction is waiting at the other end.
- A first conversation is a conversation, not a scoping call with a proposal attached.
