Cyndr joins the National Security Tech Alliance as founding member
29 July 2025
Cyndr has joined the National Security Tech Alliance (NSTA) as a founding member, supporting a national effort to ensure Australia’s technology sector plays an active role in shaping future security, resilience, and sovereign capability.
The NSTA is an initiative of the Tech Council of Australia, bringing together 27 of the country’s most trusted technology companies across cyber, AI, quantum, defence, and critical infrastructure. It provides a structured platform for collaboration, policy input, and direct engagement with senior government agencies.
The Alliance is chaired by Scott Farquhar, Co-Founder of Atlassian, with Damian Kassabgi, CEO of the Tech Council, leading execution.
“I’m delighted to announce the launch of the National Security Tech Alliance, a new initiative bringing together 27 of Australia’s leading technology companies. The NSTA will act as a strategic partner to the government to help build a partnership between government and industry for the future.”

Cyndr was invited to join as the platform helps unify Australia’s fragmented innovation ecosystem by surfacing capability signals from complexity. Built for decision makers across national security, government, and research, Cyndr provides real time insight into who is building what, where capability gaps exist, and how to align investment with mission needs.
“Australia does not have a shortage of innovators. It has a national coordination challenge. That is what we are solving. Cyndr exists to help decision makers see who is building what, where the gaps are, and how to act with speed and confidence.”

Through the Alliance, Cyndr will contribute to:
Mapping national security technology capability
Strengthening sovereign pathways under AUKUS Pillar 2
Reducing duplication and strategic dependency
Supporting real time decision making with trusted infrastructure
Building shared tools for public and private coordination
The NSTA reflects a national commitment to align strategic priorities with sovereign capability. Cyndr is proud to support that effort.
