Xiph Cyber

What Xiph Cyber does

Xiph Cyber (legal entity NCrypt Cellular Pty Ltd) is a privately-held, 100% Australian-owned cyber security firm headquartered in Maroochydore, Queensland. Founded in 2015 as NCrypt Cellular and later rebranded, the company operates as a solution-focused consultancy delivering professional security services — incident response, digital forensics, penetration testing, governance and audit, virtual CISO, and managed SOC — alongside a complementary e-commerce hardware catalog sold through shop.xiphcyber.com. The hardware line is a curated aggregation of third-party privacy and security products: GrapheneOS-hardened smartphones, IntactPhone and CommuniTake secure handsets, Salt Secure Communications, private SIM cards, Faraday signal-blocking sleeves and backpacks, YubiKey hardware tokens, Mullvad VPN subscriptions, Firewalla network security hubs, and Librem 14 privacy laptops.

The business combines project-based professional services with two subscription offerings (Managed SOC and Virtual CISO) and a transactional hardware revenue stream, accepting payment via BitPay in multiple cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Customers span small and medium businesses, individuals, high net worth individuals, and large organisations across verticals including financial services, healthcare, legal, engineering, education, technology, transportation and logistics, and defense/security. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales for services and a globally-shipped online storefront for hardware. The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or acquisitions, and currently lists a CTO (Alex Kesik) as its sole identified executive.

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: Global cybersecurity incumbent offering Falcon endpoint, managed detection and response, and incident response; competes for the same enterprise SOC and IR budgets as Xiph at vastly greater scale.
• Palo Alto Networks: Broad cybersecurity platform spanning network security, cloud, SOC and consulting services — competes for the same Australian enterprise security spend with significantly larger product portfolio.
• Sophos: Global endpoint, network and managed detection and response vendor with strong presence in the Australian SMB market — overlaps with Xiph's managed security and perimeter defence offerings.

Emerging players

• Silent Circle: Privacy-focused secure communications provider (Silent Phone, encrypted calling) targeting enterprise and government users — overlapping with Xiph's SaltDNA / Envoid mobile security and ultra-secure smartphone offerings.
• Silent Pocket: Specialist manufacturer of patented Faraday cages and signal-blocking bags/sleeves — directly comparable to Xiph's Faraday laptop, phone and backpack product line as both vendor and potential channel partner.

Direct peers

• Content Security: Australia/NZ cybersecurity reseller and services firm distributing security hardware (including Faraday and secure comms products) and offering consulting — direct overlap with Xiph's combined services-plus-hardware go-to-market.
• Triskele Labs: Australian managed security services and incident response provider serving SMB through enterprise with SOC, advisory and threat intelligence — comparable scale, customer base, and services-led delivery model.
• Tesserent (Sentor / CyberCX): Largest Australian-headquartered pure-play cybersecurity services provider offering MSSP, SOC, advisory, and incident response across enterprise and government — the most direct domestic competitor to Xiph Cyber's professional services portfolio.
• Sense of Security: Australian cybersecurity consultancy offering penetration testing, security audits, managed security services and incident response, closely overlapping Xiph's services catalogue and serving the same ANZ enterprise market.

Others

• Yubico: Manufacturer of the YubiKey hardware security tokens that Xiph resells; key ecosystem supplier rather than direct competitor, but defines the authentication category Xiph plays in.
