Infotrust, founded in 2016 and based in Melbourne (ASX: ITS), trades on the ASX following Spirit Technology Solutions’ rebrand and is one of Australia’s leading pure-play cybersecurity practices, with over 250 professionals and 140-plus dedicated cyber specialists. It acquired Catalyst Cyber’s federal-government cybersecurity team to strengthen cleared, mission-specific expertise.
It is a scaled, credible national cybersecurity player rather than a typical PE-backed MSSP roll-up.

What Makes It Different
Now trading on the ASX after Spirit Technology Solutions' rebrand to Infotrust, the company combines public-market capital access with a decade-built reputation as one of Australia's leading pure-play cybersecurity practices, distinguishing it from typical PE-backed MSSP roll-ups.
The Matrix Verdict
50/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR

Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
