Appointment of Strategic Advisor
On 19 February 2024 the Company announced the appointment of a strategic advisor, Mr Harry Karelis. Mr Karelis will be retained as the Company’s Strategic Advisor with a focus on identifying and securing strategic partnerships, assisting with investor relations and general business development activities.
On 15 April 2024 the Company outlined it’s new strategic direction, with a focus on using the Company’s strategic edge in supporting the growing defence industry supply chain.
The Australian Government is investing an additional $5.7 billion in defence capability over the next four years to 2027-28 and $50.3 billion over the next decade to 2033-34, above the previous trajectory over that period. This investment will see the Defence budget grow over the next ten years to an estimated $100 billion by 2033-34, with total funding of $765 billion over the decade. The Australian Government will invest $15-$20 billion in enhanced cyber domain capabilities alone over the decade.1
The Company has recently formed a new advisory board as it looks to expand and focus it’s unique service offering towards the growing defence industry in Western Australia (ASX: 15 April 2024). Mr Karelis has been appointed Chairman of the advisory board, and will spearhead the expansion of the advisory board with defence industry experienced members.
Adisyn Cyber
The Company continues to explore new partnership opportunities to expand it’s cybersecurity offering, reducing the need to spend significant funding and time on developing new products in- house. The cybersecurity offering of the Company will remain a key component of the business as it targets the defence industry supply chain sector, with the Company’s in-house cybersecurity and AI capability allowing it to build niche AI enabled tools for business’ sovereign and personally identifiable data where the necessary tools cannot be supplied through partnerships.
On 17 July 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the successful acquisition of Thomas Cyber. The consideration for the acquisition was for nil cash consideration and included performance rights with various revenue and time-based milestones for the Thomas Cyber management team (ASX: 17 July 2023).

All performance rights relating to the acquisition will be forfeited. The Company retains all assets and intellectual property from the acquisition.
The Company expects to be announcing a series of key strategic partnerships to significantly expand the Company’s existing suite of cyber capabilities and through these partnerships clearly differentiate Adisyn in the marketplace.
