About Cybersecure

This Is Who We Are

Cybersecure began with a simple belief: that backup is too important to be treated as an afterthought. We’re here because data resilience isn’t just technical – it’s personal. It’s about protecting livelihoods. Every piece of data represents a story, a connection, or a critical operation, and we are committed to ensuring that these vital elements are protected and preserved.

Specialists in Backup. Advocates for Data Freedom.

Cybersecure wasn’t created to follow trends. It was founded in 2003 to challenge them.

Rene Badalassi – an experienced cyber security and infrastructure specialist – saw something most businesses were ignoring: that backup, the foundation of digital trust, was dangerously neglected. Systems were growing more complex. Threats were evolving. Yet backup remained an afterthought – bolted on, poorly managed, or blindly trusted to generalist IT providers.

That didn’t sit right. Because when backup fails, businesses fail.

Cybersecure was built to change that – to treat data resilience not as a feature, but as a frontline discipline. We were one of the first in Australia to offer cloud-based backups, before “cloud” was even common vocabulary. But what truly set us apart then – and now – is our belief that backup should be independent, intelligent, and unshakeable.

Today, we work with organisations that understand what’s at stake: public health, financial integrity, legal continuity, education, governance, manufacturing operations. We serve the people who don’t get second chances – and can’t afford failure.

Cybersecure exists for them.
Because backup isn’t just technical. It’s personal.

Rene Badalassi

Founder & CEO

With more than 20 years’ experience in cyber security and infrastructure, Rene founded Cybersecure to close a dangerous gap in the industry: the lack of serious, specialist attention on backup. His technical leadership and unwavering focus on resilience continue to shape how we protect critical systems across Australia.

Our Mission

To protect livelihoods through data resilience. Because business continuity starts with uncompromising backups.

Our Vision

To enable true data freedom. Where your data stays under your control - unlocked, uncorrupted, and untouchable.

What We Stand For

Connection

We connect with people, not just systems - because understanding your goals is the first step to protecting them.

Clarity

We cut through the complexity and provide confidence through clear, expert guidance.

Confidence

Our clients don’t wonder if their backups work. They know - because Cybersecure makes certainty the default.

Why Backup Is All We Do

We are not an MSP – and that’s intentional. While generalist IT providers juggle countless services, we focus entirely on backup and disaster recovery. That focus means we go deeper, respond faster, and build smarter systems.

We host our own stack, deliver immutable storage with forensic logs, and separate backup credentials from production systems – ensuring even a breached IT team or MSP can’t touch your data. That’s zero trust in action.

Built for Compliance and Continuity

Our infrastructure supports industries where data loss isn’t an inconvenience – it’s a liability. We help clients meet rigorous standards like PCI-DSS, the Essential 8, and ISO27001, delivering:

What We’re Proud Of

First to Market

Among the earliest to offer cloud-based backups in Australia, before "cloud" was common language.

Beyond Backup

We’ve built proprietary technology that monitors hundreds of metrics in real-time - so we catch issues before they impact you.

Compliance-Ready

Our systems are built for industries where nothing short of perfection is acceptable.

Backup isn’t just a feature. It’s your business’s safety net.
Cybersecure ensures it holds – every time.
