AI and IoT anchored in real outcomes<\/p>\n
Rather than positioning itself as a generic AI provider, Secure Agility is focusing on tightly defined, outcome-driven use cases that combine AI, IoT, networking, security and analytics into a managed solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of people say they \u2018do AI\u2019, but they\u2019re just reselling a license,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s very different to what we do. We\u2019re not selling fluff we\u2019re solving real business problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mitton explained that it can sell an entire outcome to customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we\u2019ve worked out the business\u2019s need, we provide the outcome in a way that\u2019s transparent, cost effective and adds value to the organisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
One customer example involved deploying sensors, computer vision, CCTV and a data and analytics platform across an industrial production line to unlock significant efficiency gains, translating into an additional $25 to $35 million a year in revenue for the customer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a real outcome,\u201d Tannous said.<\/p>\n
Mitton added its strength lies in delivering the entire stack required to make those outcomes work from edge compute and networking to security, cloud and analytics.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t just do one thing. You need a network engineer, an AI specialist, data scientist, cloud architect, and a security expert. That\u2019s our advantage, we can bring all of that to the table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
AIOps in the NOC and the Secure360 SOC<\/p>\n
Tannous said the same AI agent architecture that powers customer-facing solutions is now transforming Secure Agility\u2019s own operations starting with its integrated Network Operations Centre (NOC) and its Secure360 Security Operations Centre (SOC), the company\u2019s managed MSSP platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cThink about what a NOC analyst does today \u2013 they\u2019re staring at dashboards, correlating alerts across five different vendor consoles, trying to work out if a network event is real or noise,\u201d Tannous said. \u201cWe\u2019ve built AI agents that connect into those backend platforms via MCP and API connectors and correlate, triage and action in seconds what used to take a team hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the NOC, Secure Agility\u2019s AIOps agents automatically detect anomalies across SD-WAN fabrics managed through its NoWAN platform, correlate them with device health telemetry and customer SLA data, and either auto-remediate or escalate with full context dramatically reducing mean time to resolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe went from reactive ticket management to predictive network intelligence,\u201d Mitton said. \u201cOur NOC doesn\u2019t just respond to problems anymore. It sees them coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
The same pattern applies in Secure360, Secure Agility\u2019s MSSP SOC, where AI agents ingest threat intelligence feeds, cloud-based SIEM logs and endpoint telemetry from platforms run them through purpose-built detection and response playbooks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn cyber, speed kills but so does noise. A traditional SOC analyst is drowning in false positives,\u201d Tannous said. \u201cOur AI agents filter, correlate and enrich every alert before a human ever sees it. By the time it reaches an analyst, it\u2019s not just an alert it\u2019s an investigation-ready case with recommended actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
What makes this particularly powerful is the combined MSP and MSSP model. Because Secure Agility\u2019s SOC analysts understand the client\u2019s network their MSP team built it, there\u2019s no finger-pointing between security and infrastructure when an incident occurs. The same team that manages firewall policies and patching cycles is the team correlating threat intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost MSSPs detect a problem and throw it over the fence. We detect and fix it because we already have the admin access, the network context, and the infrastructure relationship,\u201d Tannous said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe market has finally caught up to what we\u2019ve been building for years. Everyone\u2019s talking about AI agents now. We\u2019ve been running them in production.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cybersecurity, GRC and wholesale boom<\/p>\n
Cybersecurity remains a core pillar of Secure Agility\u2019s strategy, with Tannous and Mitton pointing out the business delivers at the same level as some of Australia\u2019s best-known cyber specialists, but without the hype. <\/p>\n
The company holds ISO27001, ASD Essential Eight Level 3 certification, and SOC 2 compliance, alongside CCIE Security and CISSP-certified engineers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you peel the onion back, we do what the big cyber players do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we don\u2019t just sell products and walk away. We wrap it with a managed service and take responsibility for the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
That philosophy extends to governance, risk and compliance (GRC), where Secure Agility has built a dedicated business unit offering end-to-end compliance services\u00a0 from onboarding and gap analysis through to audit completion and continuous monitoring.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want customers just ticking boxes,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want them to understand the value of compliance and actually get something out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A major strategic shift came with the decision to exit a longstanding Telstra Enterprise relationship, allowing Secure Agility to contract directly with customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe turned off our Telstra Enterprise relationship and moved to wholesale agreements,\u201d he said. \u201cThat gives us the freedom to deliver SD-WAN and SASE as a service and managed connectivity directly to customers through our NoWAN platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company has telco wholesale agreements in place with the likes of Telstra Wholesale, Vocus and TPG, which allow it to provide multi-carrier SD-WAN and SASE services to customers\u00a0 optimising performance and cost on a per-site basis rather than being locked into a single carrier.<\/p>\n
The move is expected to materially lift margins and accelerate growth across Secure Agility\u2019s telco business unit.<\/p>\n
National expansion and 2026 vision<\/p>\n
Secure Agility has recently opened a Brisbane office and plans to establish a Melbourne presence, supporting growing demand from government and enterprise clients. The company has also secured multiple government accreditations and panel appointments, opening new pipeline opportunities.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, leadership believes revenue could double over the next four to five years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe absolutely believe this can be a $150 million business,\u201d Tannous said. \u201cAI, IoT and telco are net-new revenue streams on top of a strong managed services base.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite ongoing industry consolidation, Tannous says stability and independence are key selling points.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re Australian-owned, profitable, and we\u2019re not going anywhere,\u201d he said. \u201cThat matters to customers right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
As 2026 unfolds, Secure Agility\u2019s message is clear: the technology has been built, the foundation is in place, and the focus has shifted to scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone else is trying to figure out how to bolt AI onto their business. We\u2019ve already baked it in,\u201d Tannous said. \u201cNow, it\u2019s about awareness. We know what we\u2019re capable of. It\u2019s time the market does too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AI and IoT anchored in real outcomes Rather than positioning itself as a generic AI provider, Secure Agility…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,105],"class_list":["post-518265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
