# CyberSec People

> CyberSec People is a specialist cybersecurity search firm founded in 2017, based in Australia with global reach. We find security talent for companies building with AI, from seed-stage startups making their first security hire to scale-ups and enterprises building world-class security teams. We are practitioners who recruit, embedded in the security community through conferences, meetups, and a decade of industry relationships. We are not a generalist recruitment agency.

## What We Do

Eight technical domains where the talent is scarce and the stakes are high:

- [Product Security](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/product-security): The engineers who secure what gets shipped. In the age of AI, that means the application, the models, the data, and the agentic workflows.
- [Cloud & Infrastructure Security](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/cloud-infrastructure): From traditional cloud environments to GPU clusters, model pipelines, and data platforms. The role that stops a misconfiguration from becoming a breach.
- [Identity and Machine Identity](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/identity-machine-identity): Identity is the new control plane. Every user, API key, service account, and AI agent needs to be authenticated, authorised, and auditable.
- [Detection & Response Engineering](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/detection-engineering): The future of defence is engineered, not just monitored. Where security becomes a data engineering problem.
- [Offensive Security & AI Red Teaming](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/offensive-security): Traditional penetration testing and red teaming, plus AI red teaming. Testing systems, models, and agents against the next generation of threats.
- [AI & Agentic Security](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/ai-agentic-security): A genuinely new field. Model security, prompt injection defence, agent guardrails, supply chain integrity. The role is still being defined.
- [AI Governance & Risk](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/ai-governance): AI compliance is now a board-level concern. The people who translate policy into practice are in short supply and high demand.
- [Security Leadership](https://cybersecpeople.com/domains/security-leadership): The right security leader is the ultimate force multiplier. CISOs, VPs, and Heads of Security who enable the business through every stage of growth.
