Noel Allnutt’s Sekuro exits



Another big move in Australia’s tech landscape.

Sekuro – the Aussie cybersecurity scale-up known for serving Canva, Atlassian and Salesforce – has just been acquired by Nasdaq-listed Insight Enterprises.

This follows hot on the heels of CyberCX’s $1B+ sale to Accenture, highlighting how global players are increasingly eyeing Australia’s deep bench of cyber talent and innovation

From roll-up to global platform

Sekuro began in 2021 by combining four local consulting firms — a classic “sum of the parts is greater than the whole” play.


In just three years, it grew from 90 to 200+ people, building a strong reputation across the mid-market.

While CyberCX dominated the enterprise space, Sekuro carved out a niche in building trust, resilience, and compliance for fast-growing tech companies.


CEO Noel Allnutt claimed revenues “hovering around $200M” and 40% annual growth — even if official filings show smaller numbers, the strategic momentum was clear

Why this matters

  • Australia has quietly become a hotbed for cybersecurity capability.
  • International acquirers (Accenture, Fujitsu, now Insight) are consolidating the sector.
  • Local founders and investors are proving that roll-up models + trust networks can create scalable va
The ecosystem effect

Deals like this reinforce what we’ve been talking about in the Referron and BBG communities —

👉 Connection and collaboration create continuity and community.

Sekuro’s success didn’t happen in isolation.

It happened because four teams came together, trusted each other, and shared one mission — protecting clients’ digital assets.


That’s the power of a connected ecosystem.


My takeaway

Australia doesn’t just build great tech — we build trusted relationships that scale.

Cybersecurity is just one example of how collaboration turns into commercial success.


Let’s keep building, connecting, and creating impact together.
