About us

A small crew on a simple mission.

We started SecurityMonkeys because cyber training had become box-ticking theatre — long, dull, and forgotten by Friday. We're a tight team of security veterans and genuinely talented content makers who believe protection works best when people actually enjoy learning it. Targeted, high-quality, and refreshingly human.

What we believe

How we think about your team's training

Protection, not paperwork

Compliance is a by-product of doing it well — never the goal. We aim to genuinely change behaviour.

Short and sharp

Three-minute modules people finish beat thirty-minute ones they skip. Respect for your team's time is the whole strategy.

Tailored, never generic

We teach the threats that actually target your industry — the real lures, named and explained.

The grown-ups

Leadership & operations

Decades of security and business experience keeping the bananas in order.

Portrait of Daniel Okafor

Daniel Okafor

Chief Technology Officer

Builds the phishing engine and LMS that make the magic feel effortless. Ex-platform engineer who'd rather automate it than do it twice.

Chief Information Officer

Keeps our own house in order — data, privacy and security come first when you ask clients to trust you. Lives and breathes the Essential Eight.

Portrait of Bianca Rossi

Bianca Rossi

Operations & Office Manager

The reason everything actually happens on time. Onboards new clients, herds the troop, and somehow keeps everyone caffeinated.

Portrait of Tom Whitfield

Tom Whitfield

Finance & Accounts Manager

Handles the numbers so the founders don't have to. Believes a fair, simple price is a feature — and makes sure ours stays that way.

The talent

The content crew

The young, scarily creative team turning dry security advice into things people actually watch and share.

Portrait of Zoe Nguyen

Zoe Nguyen

Lead Content Creator

Turns "don't click suspicious links" into something you'll remember. Storyteller first, security nerd a close second.

Portrait of Jayden Brooks

Jayden Brooks

Video Producer

Shoots and edits the micro-videos that make modules fly by. Allergic to corporate stock footage.

Portrait of Aisha Rahman

Aisha Rahman

Social & Comms Lead

Runs the "Monkey of the Month" tips and keeps awareness alive between campaigns, one sharp post at a time.

Portrait of Liam Patel

Instructional Designer

Makes sure every module actually teaches something — built on learning science, not guesswork.

Portrait of Mia Caruso

Mia Caruso

Scriptwriter & Copywriter

Writes the words that make people smile and stay safe. Proof that "compliance copy" doesn't have to be a punishment.

Motion & Graphic Designer

The reason our animations feel premium, not PowerPoint. Brings the monkeys to life, frame by frame.
