Get protected, stay protected, don’t get caught out – expert teams delivering enterprise-grade security through a structured three-stage approach.
OCTOBER 23 2025 Today, Nexon Asia Pacific (Nexon) launched Nexon Cyber, a subscription-based cyber security framework to help simplify protection, strengthen defences and help organisations stay compliant with evolving regulations, all through clear service plans.
Australian organisations face growing cyber security challenges, with the ACSC reporting over 1,200 incidents and 42,500 hotline calls in the past year.1 Nexon’s own analysis of 126 penetration testing engagements across 30+ Australian industries2 shows that, despite concerns about sophisticated threats, most breaches exploit basic gaps – weak passwords, unpatched systems and missing controls such as Multi-Factor Authentication.
“Cyber security has become unnecessarily complex. Organisations juggle multiple vendors and tools while leaving basic vulnerabilities exposed,” says Garth Sperring, General Manager, Network & Security at Nexon.
“With Nexon Cyber, we simplify security into a clear framework – foundational protection, continuous monitoring and proactive strengthening – all at predictable costs.”
Your pathway to cyber resilience
Nexon Cyber simplifies security with a straightforward, three-stage framework:
- Get Protected: Build foundational defences with Nexon Cyber service plans, implementing core security controls and providing access to SOC support and governance reporting.
- Stay Protected: Maintain continuous protection with additional features and services including incident response, infrastructure management, threat intelligence and regular vulnerability scanning.
- Don't Get Caught Out: Strengthen security proactively through penetration testing, staff training, compliance assessments and strategic planning.
Clear service plans, subscription-based
Moving beyond open-ended proposals that can delay decisions and obscure costs, Nexon offers four service plans3 with defined service delivery, SLAs and outcomes – removing the guesswork common in traditional cyber security investment:
- Essentials: Core protection for organisations requiring baseline visibility of cyber posture and incident response.
- Advanced: Nexon SOC-supported monitoring with SLA-backed response and remediation for organisations requiring compliance and governance reporting.
- Premium: Nexon SOC-supported monitoring, SLA-backed response, remediation, and vulnerability management for organisations and government agencies with greater regulation and compliance requirements, requiring higher levels of security maturity
- À La Carte: Build a tailored solution for specific needs or complex environments.
Nexon Cyber service plans may be augmented with a suite of advanced features, extras and options — such as the vCISO – available to customers as an additional investment—to further elevate their organisation’s security posture.
Virtual CISO eases the security talent squeeze
At the heart of Nexon Cyber is the virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service, delivering executive-level expertise for compliance oversight and guidance—without the commitment of a permanent hire.
The cyber security skills shortage has Australian businesses in a triple bind: qualified professionals are hard to find, expensive to hire and quick to be poached by larger organisations.
“Our vCISO service delivers defined security outcomes for customers by connecting organisations directly to Nexon’s team of security specialists,” explains Sperring.
“The vCISO leverages Nexon’s broader team expertise to coordinate access to specialists in penetration testing, compliance, incident response, and strategic planning — as required” added Sperring.
The vCISO service includes:
- Cyber strategy development
- Risk and vendor management
- Compliance and governance oversight
- Executive and board reporting
- Incident response coordination
Built on real-world experience
Leveraging 25 years of experience across hundreds of organisations in government, financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, Nexon helps customers benefit from a broader perspective and proven methodologies that extend beyond a single source.
“Most organisations we pen tested this year had vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by getting the basics right. Our framework ensures those foundations are firmly in place before introducing additional layers of security,” says Sperring.
