I don’t normally use this forum to talk about the business side of things for Securus Global but thought I would take an opportunity to talk a bit about what’s been happening.

2009 surprisingly has seen good growth for us. Still hoping we’re not going to see some delayed effect of the Global Economic Crisis.

While we’ve always had a large client base in Melbourne, we’ve recently setup a permanent presence there and we’re looking at doing the same for other Australian cities. Asia and other international clients we support from Sydney at present (and travel as required like we always have), but we’re looking at our position here. (Also based upon international partnerships).

With this expansion, we are looking for good people, so we’re keen to hear from experienced and passionate Information Security Specialists. Generally, the level of expertise we look for is as described here. Working with many of Australia’s largest organisations across most industry sectors (in particular across critical infrastructure), we’re seen as leaders in our field and we’ve built our reputation and differentiation on the quality of our work and people. There’s few others that can now match our client-base and we’re proud of our achievements to have gotten to where we are.

We’re the preferred specialist services delivery partner of many of the largest IT consulting firms (and vendors) who resell our services under their banner or in partnership with us. Nice acknowledgement for us – if you can’t beat them, work with them is their position with us.

While we’re not publically publishing much in the way of research in recent times, a good deal of our presentation and research focus has been on engagement and/or under non-disclosure – engaged directly by various vendors to pro-actively test their systems for vulnerabilities. From an overall security perspective, that’s a positive thing for our industry and also for Securus Global.

We continue to maintain independence from most product vendors but we do have partnerships where we believe someone is best in their field and we’d use the system/product ourselves eg; Qualys who we’ve worked with now since 2003.

Anyway, thanks for reading this far. End of marketing blurb.
