What Equate Technologies does

Equate Technologies is a privately held, Brisbane-headquartered Australian IT services group founded in 2013 with 11-50 employees. It operates its cybersecurity division under the brand Nexon (legal entity Nexon Asia Pacific), delivering end-to-end security and technology solutions to mid-market, enterprise, and government organisations across Australia. The division is positioned as a specialist cybersecurity partner combining certified people, integrated platforms, and modular service provisioning.

The Nexon cybersecurity portfolio is organised into four pillars: Advise (security maturity assessments and strategic roadmap development, including an Essential Eight maturity audit), Prevent (penetration testing, cyber resilience testing, and security awareness training), Protect (preventative tools and technologies for visibility and control over digital and physical assets), and Detect and Respond (a 24x7x365 Australian-based Security Operations Center providing detection, incident response, and continuous monitoring). The firm holds CREST accreditation for penetration testing and maintains an in-house team qualified across CISSP, CISM, CEH, OSCP, GIAC, and CompTIA certifications. Its delivery model is built on a broad technology partnership ecosystem spanning tier-1 vendors including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Tenable, F5, Microsoft, Cisco, VMware Carbon Black, SentinelOne, Cylance, Armis, Forcepoint, and HPE Aruba.

Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring managed security services subscriptions (anchored by the SOC) and project-based professional services (advisory, penetration testing, training). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting government, enterprise, and mid-market customers, supplemented by inside sales and inbound demand generation through content marketing and whitepapers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the modular portfolio allows customers to scale service tiers up or down based on need.

Direct peers

• CyberCX: Australia's largest dedicated cybersecurity services provider, offering advisory, managed SOC, penetration testing, and incident response to enterprise and government. Directly comparable in scope, customer segments (mid-market to government), and Australian onshore delivery model.
• Tesserent (Thales Cyber Services ANZ): Australian-headquartered MSSP (now part of Thales) delivering managed security, advisory, and testing to government and enterprise. Closely comparable in target customers, service portfolio (Advise/Protect/Detect), and Australian regulatory positioning.
• Sense of Security: Australian cybersecurity consultancy providing penetration testing, security advisory, and managed services. Comparable in size tier, service mix, and Australian onshore delivery to enterprise clients.
• Sekuro: Australia-based MSSP offering managed security, cloud security, and cyber advisory to mid-market and enterprise. Comparable in size tier, service modularity, and onshore SOC delivery focus.

Broad incumbents

• Trustwave: Global MSSP with a presence in Australia offering managed detection and response, penetration testing, and advisory. Comparable in service portfolio but larger and globally diversified rather than regionally concentrated.
• DXC Technology: Global IT services giant offering managed security services to enterprise and government in Australia. Comparable in providing integrated security and infrastructure managed services but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• NCC Group: Global cybersecurity services firm with significant Australian operations covering advisory, managed detection, and assurance testing. Comparable across the full service stack but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a regional specialist.

Regional players

• Macquarie Telecom Group: Australian-headquartered provider of managed security and secure cloud services to mid-market and government customers. Comparable in Australian onshore delivery and government/critical-infrastructure customer focus.
• Optus Business (Singtel Optus): Australian telco security arm offering managed security, network security, and SOC services to enterprise and government. Comparable in targeting Australian enterprise/government with managed security, though part of a broader telecom portfolio.

Emerging players

• CrowdStrike (Falcon Complete / MDR): Endpoint security vendor that has built a managed detection and response offering (Falcon Complete) competing directly with MSSPs. Comparable in delivering 24/7 SOC and incident response, but as a vendor-led MDR rather than an independent integrator; represents both a partner and a competitive threat.
