Partnership brings AI-enabled detection, decision support and highly automated remediation to the teams responsible for closing vulnerability and security gaps across Defence, National Security, Critical Infrastructure and Healthcare.
Citadel Edge and Cyber Automation today announced a strategic partnership to help organisations across Australia and New Zealand strengthen cyber resilience in the face of Frontier AI-enabled attacks, ransomware, fast-moving vulnerabilities, supply-chain exposure and escalating data breach risk.
Citadel Edge brings expertise in AI, cyber security, governance, risk, assurance, strategic advisory and managed services, while Cyber Automation provides automated vulnerability discovery, remediation and compliance solutions. The partnership combines visibility, prioritisation and automation with the operational capability required to implement remediation activities across infrastructure, platforms and applications. This helps organisations move beyond identifying cyber risks to reducing them through measurable action.
The announcement comes as cyber headlines are dominated by five board-level pressures: AI-enabled threats, ransomware, urgent patching, third-party compromise and identity fraud. For ICT Operations and Security teams already stretched by skills shortages and compliance expectations, the challenge is no longer just seeing the problem — it is rapidly prioritising the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest operational risk and remediating them before they impact mission or business outcomes.
The partnership is designed for environments where cyber resilience is directly tied to operational readiness, security assurance and compliance.
Moving Beyond Detection to Remediation
Many cyber security solutions identify vulnerabilities and generate reports. Citadel Edge and Cyber Automation are focused on the moment that matters most: using AI-assisted decisioning and automation to prioritise, act and remediate at scale.
Cyber Automation helps organisations address security risks through highly automated products including Overwatch, Mission Control and SkyView suites, supporting faster discovery, smarter prioritisation and automated remediation across complex environments.
These capabilities help organisations discover unknown assets, identify vulnerabilities, reduce manual triage and automate repeatable fixes, shrinking the time between identifying a risk and eliminating it.
“Cyber resilience is no longer about seeing risk on a dashboard; it is about acting with speed, confidence and purpose. Together with Cyber Automation, we can help critical organisations turn insight into action, close the gaps that matter and stay ahead of threats that are moving faster every day.” – Rahul Khurana, Citadel Edge
Supporting Australia’s and New Zealand’s Most Critical Organisations
Government agencies, defence organisations and operators of essential services are under growing pressure to manage cyber risk while maintaining service continuity, compliance and public trust.

Frontier AI, ransomware-as-a-service, exploited vulnerabilities, supply-chain compromise and social engineering are changing the speed and shape of cyber risk. The combined capability helps organisations respond with the same speed: strategic advice to understand exposure, AI-enabled detection and decision support to prioritise action, and automation to close gaps before they become incidents.
For critical sectors, that means a more direct path from visibility to action: advisory support to understand risk, automation to address repeatable remediation tasks, and clearer reporting to support assurance and compliance conversations.
For customers, the combined capability is designed to make cyber resilience practical and measurable. Rather than adding another dashboard, it helps teams find unmanaged assets, prioritise the riskiest gaps, automate repeatable remediation and improve audit readiness across complex environments.
Driving Better Compliance Outcomes Through Automation
Cyber Automation’s technology also automates activities that traditionally consume significant time and resources, particularly in governance, risk and compliance.
The platform automates GRC reporting and policy documentation across major frameworks including ASD Essential Eight, ASD Blueprint, ISO 27001, NZ NCSC, CIS Benchmarks for Microsoft 365, CMMC 2.0, ASD ISM and healthcare-specific standards.
This reduction in manual effort involved in evidence gathering, reporting and documentation allows IT Operations and Security teams to focus on mitigating the risks identified instead of reporting on them.
“Cyber Automation was built to help organisations do the hard work of remediation, not just identify the problem. By partnering with Citadel Edge, we combine our automation, remediation and compliance capability with their deep expertise in secure, mission critical environments, helping customers reduce risk faster and with greater confidence.” – Chris McRoberts, Director, Cyber Automation
Together, Citadel Edge and Cyber Automation will help organisations across Australia and New Zealand reduce cyber risk faster, make better security decisions under pressure, improve compliance confidence and build operating environments that are harder to breach and faster to recover.
