Where deep expertise meets AI-powered sovereign capability; we're building resilient cyber defence infrastructure to defend all Australians.
We're an independent Australian cyber security company with services dedicated to enabling our network of cyber defenders to master the adversary, even in the age of AI. Our service offering is a strategic mix of reactive defence, proactive planning and digital security infrastructure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Artificer Cyber is led by practitioners with deep expertise across cyber security, software engineering, and law.
An experienced breach counsel, transactional technology lawyer and software developer, 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.

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.
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.
Every conclusion traces back to specific evidence artefacts with clear explanation of what conclusions can be drawn from the artefacts given the circumstances.
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.
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.
Observations on DFIR, application security, and AI — written for the people who have to act on them.
