Cybersecurity Recruitment

Australia’s cybersecurity recruitment market has undergone a fundamental shift as threats become increasingly sophisticated. High-profile breaches have prompted board-level security discussions to extend beyond traditional IT concerns, creating a demand for professionals who can articulate risk in business terms. Organisations are specifically seeking penetration testers with cloud assessment experience and SOC analysts capable of managing false positive rates while identifying genuine advanced persistent threats.

Jenny Barbour maintains extensive networks across Australia’s cybersecurity community, developed through years of specialised focus in this sector. Our consultative methodology ensures placement of cybersecurity professionals who can deliver both technical excellence and strategic business alignment within complex regulatory environments.
