Secolve is an Australian cybersecurity firm specialising in operational technology (OT) security for critical infrastructure and industrial operators. It was founded in 2020 by CEO Laith Shahin, formerly of Pure Security, and operates from offices in Sydney and Perth. Its clients are concentrated in energy, mining and resources, water and utilities, transport, ports and manufacturing.
Its work is primarily advisory and assessment-led: OT security architecture and governance aligned with frameworks such as AESCSF, the SOCI Act, ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82 and the Essential Eight; offensive security and red teaming against industrial environments; and OT-SAT, a video-based OT security awareness training platform launched in 2023 and now available in 20 languages. It partners with OT visibility and security vendors including Nozomi, Dragos, Forescout, Fortinet and Phosphorus for implementation work.
Secolve is not primarily a managed security services provider; its published services do not include a 24/7 monitoring or SOC offering, which is why it is classified here under governance, risk and compliance. In October 2025 it reported 57% revenue growth over 24 months, a doubled workforce and around 100 customers worldwide, and it won SMB of the Year at the 2025 AISA awards.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Turned OT awareness training into a productised platform (OT-SAT) in 2023 and localised it into 20 languages within about two years, a reasonable pace for a small consultancy.
Helps industrial operators build OT security governance and meet Australian regulatory obligations such as SOCI and AESCSF, but delivers project-based advice rather than continuous operational capability.
Small firm with about 100 customers and an AISA SMB award; growth figures (57% revenue rise) are self-reported and no funding has been disclosed.
OT security consulting and training is an established niche served by many firms; Secolve's model is conventional.
Named clients such as Atmos Renewables and published case studies exist, but there is no independent testing or outcome data.
Australian critical-infrastructure regulation and growing OT threat activity should keep demand for specialist OT governance and testing strong over the next several years.
Why CISOs Should Care
Useful for Australian critical-infrastructure CISOs who need OT-specific expertise to meet SOCI/AESCSF obligations and train plant staff.
What Makes It Different
Exclusively focused on OT environments, pairing governance and offensive testing with its own multilingual OT awareness training platform.
The Matrix Verdict
45/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
Scores 27/60 (45/100), placing Secolve in the Emerging/Unranked tier. It is a credible, growing specialist consultancy, but its scale, disruption and independent evidence are limited.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Growth figures, customer counts and the 'Australia's leading OT cyber security firm' positioning are company-sourced; the AISA award, founding history and named client are corroborated by trade press.
