What We Do

Cyber security services for the age of AI

We're an independent Australian cyber security company with services dedicated to enabling our network of cyber defenders to master the enemy, even in the age of AI. Our service offering is a strategic mix of reactive defence, proactive planning and digital security infrastructure.

Digital forensics investigation

Digital Forensics & Incident Response

Forensic investigation and evidence preservation that balances business objectives with cyber security, and that meets a high evidentiary standard. Our reports are written by multidisciplinary legal and cyber practitioners that have mastered their craft.

  • Forensic evidence acquisition & preservation
  • Strict compliance with LPP protocols
  • Incident containment & eradication
  • Post-incident reporting & remediation
Application security code review

Application Security

Practitioner-led security assessment from engineers who build software deployable in complex regulatory environments. We find vulnerabilities and help your team understand the architectural decisions that prevent them.

  • Source code review & static analysis
  • Penetration testing & red teaming
  • Secure architecture consulting
  • Threat modelling & risk assessment
Breach discovery and notification

Breach Discovery & Notification

Easily surface and notify affected individuals using the latest e-discovery techniques. We leverage evolving in-house AI pipelines to automate breach response work that used to take rooms full of people weeks to accomplish.

  • Preventative data silo scanning/mapping
  • Structured and unstructured dataset synthesis
  • Digital notification infrastructure
  • Affected individual categorisation
AI security and machine learning systems

AI Security Audits

As organisations adopt AI, new attack surfaces emerge. We assess LLM deployments, AI pipelines, and model security with a framework that addresses both technical vulnerabilities and governance gaps.

  • LLM red-teaming & prompt injection testing
  • AI system vulnerability assessment
  • Model security & data poisoning review
  • AI governance framework development
Our Approach

Why Artificer Cyber

Cyber security consulting built on the premise that every engagement should meet the standard of evidence — because the ones that matter most will need to.

01

Strictest Privilege Protocol Adherence

Every forensic engagement follows your privilege protocols to the letter. Don't accept vendors that won't vary their standard process to meet your objectives; our team will take your privilege objectives seriously — every time.

02

Multidisciplinary Expertise

We operate at the intersection of cyber security, software engineering, and law. This means we combine mastery of the client's technical environment, their legal and privacy obligations, and the practical steps that bridge them.

03

Practitioner-Led Consulting

Our consultants are practitioners who build, break, and defend systems — not career consultants who learned security from a slide deck. We bring real-world operational experience to every engagement.

04

Next-Level Forensic Reporting

Reports written to the standard required for litigation, regulatory proceedings, and board-level accountability. Strict adherence to your engagement instructions, and findings written in clear, defensible language designed to withstand the toughest adversarial challenge.

Our Reports

Forensic reporting built for scrutiny

Artificer has the multidisciplinary expertise to adapt reporting to any engagement structure — from technical teams to legal counsel to the boardroom. Our reports don't just describe findings; they help you build a defensible narrative and emerge stronger.

Artificer's forensic reports are structured to meet the evidentiary standards of Australian courts and regulatory bodies. Every finding is supported by verifiable evidence, documented methodology, and clear explanatory language — so the work holds up whether it's reviewed by a CISO, a regulator, or opposing counsel.

Court-Ready Structure

Reports are produced to the highest standards for use in Australian courts or boardrooms, with executive summaries, detailed technical findings, and appendices of supporting evidence.

Evidence-Linked Findings

Every conclusion traces back to specific evidence artefacts with clear explanation of what conclusions can be drawn from the artefacts given the circumstances.

Strict Adherence to Engagement Terms

Artificer will strictly adhere to protocols and terms of your engagement. Every report is reviewed by our own experienced data breach counsel alongside your engagement terms to ensure you get precisely what you asked for, no more or less.

Tailored Reporting Structures

Need prioritised, actionable recommendations mapped to risk levels and compliance obligations? No problem. Don't need them this time around? That's fine too — we work to your requirements.

Our Leadership

Who we are

Artificer Cyber is led by practitioners with deep expertise across cyber security, software engineering, and law.

Tyler Wright — Managing Director & General Counsel of Artificer Cyber

Tyler Wright

Managing Director & General Counsel

An experienced breach counsel, transactional technology lawyer and software engineer, Tyler brings an unusual combination of multidisciplinary expertise to Artificer Cyber. Tyler's vision for integrated technology and legal services culminated in the creation of Artificer to address a gap he saw repeatedly — cyber security consulting that doesn't properly harmonise with the needs of real MSPs and Breach Counsel fighting the adversary on the front lines.

Tyler's multidisciplinary experience means engagements are designed from the outset to produce outcomes that are technically rigorous and legally defensible. Tyler is responsible for company administration, business development and is the in-house legal counsel at Artificer Cyber. He also routinely acts as an Incident Responder to stay as close to the customer experience as possible.
