Kyle is Director of Technology and AI Solutions, based in Sydney and working with clients across APAC. He helps organisations integrate data and intelligence into their security systems, adopt emerging technologies such as AI and build a data-driven understanding of their internal and external risks. He works most often with SOC managers, senior risk owners and heads of security who want to make evidence-based decisions by fusing internal data with external intelligence.
Clients typically come to Kyle with out-of-date risk information, siloed data and limited visibility across cyber, physical and digital risk. Many have considered using AI to make sense of their data but struggled to make progress. Kyle's approach gives decision-makers clearer insight, provides advance warning of emerging risks and equips security managers with holistic situational awareness.
Recent engagements include:
- Advising government and commercial clients on advanced analytical approaches using emerging technologies.
- Developing a dashboard for an international retail brand to focus mitigation on high-incident stores.
- Building a comprehensive picture of cyber security risk to travellers for a large technology company.
Kyle draws on a 15-year career in UK government defence and security roles. He blends operational experience, innovation theory, project management and deep knowledge of emerging technologies. He was nominated as a National Security Fellow in 2014 and a UK government Emerging Technology Leader in 2018, and completed his Master's thesis on advanced investigative techniques in 2023. He writes on international defence, security and technology for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) and co-chairs the Australian Defence Investment Network on dual-use technologies.
