A brand of Intrinsic Security Pty Ltd.' --- ![Hero Image](http://secureaf.com.au/user/pages/05.about/01._about-hero/mountains-meet-sky.jpg) # Enterprise-grade security thinking, sized for small business ## You don't need to outrun the bear. Just the other guy. secureAF exists because, in cyber security, small business is always the other guy. Over two decades, security in big business has become far more sophisticated while small business has been left behind, even as big business now expects its small suppliers to keep up. We take what works in enterprise security and scale it, package it and price it for businesses of 1 to 20 people. Fixed fees, plain English, and an honest position you can stand behind. We don't sell technology, licences or managed services, so our advice is about what's right for you, and we work alongside your IT provider, never instead of them. ## Who's behind secureAF ![Alex Loizou](http://secureaf.com.au/user/pages/05.about/03._founder/alex.png)**Alex Loizou, Founder.** Alex started his career setting up and running IT for small businesses, then spent more than 20 years in cyber security, including as CISO at Medibank, Head of Security at Flybuys and Acting CISO at Bupa. secureAF brings what he learned protecting some of Australia's largest businesses back to its smallest. **secureAF is a brand of Intrinsic Security Pty Ltd**, which provides CISO and incident leadership to larger organisations.
