Cyber and Information Security
Protecting Information, Systems and Digital Operations
Information is one of an organisation's most valuable assets.
From sensitive business information and intellectual property to customer data and operational systems, organisations rely on secure and resilient information environments to deliver services, maintain trust and support strategic objectives.
As cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication and frequency, organisations must adopt a proactive and risk-informed approach to protecting information and technology assets.
At Montane Protective Security, we help organisations understand cyber threats, manage information security risks and strengthen resilience through practical, threat-informed security solutions.
Why Cyber and Information Security Matters
Modern organisations face an increasingly complex digital threat environment.
Threats can arise from:
- Cyber criminals
- Insider threats
- Malicious actors
- Foreign interference
- Supply chain vulnerabilities
- Information compromise
- Human error
- Technology failures
Successful attacks can impact:
- Sensitive information
- Critical systems
- Service delivery
- Organisational reputation
- Financial performance
- Regulatory compliance (including the SOCI, CISC requirements and ISO 2700 series)
Effective cyber and information security helps organisations reduce risk while enabling business operations and digital transformation.
Our Threat-Informed Approach
At Montane, we believe effective cyber security begins with understanding the threat.
Our Threat-Informed Protective Security methodology helps organisations:
Understand the Threat
Identify cyber threats, vulnerabilities, emerging risks and information security challenges.
Manage the Risk
Implement practical and proportionate controls that protect information, systems and digital services.
Build Resilience
Strengthen preparedness, incident response and recovery capability to minimise disruption.
By understanding the threat, managing the risk and building resilience, organisations can make informed security decisions and better protect critical information assets.
Cyber Security and Information Security
While often discussed together, cyber security and information security address different but interconnected challenges.
Information Security
Protecting information from unauthorised access, disclosure, modification or loss.
This includes:
- Sensitive information

Cyber Security
Protecting networks, systems, devices and digital services from cyber threats.
This includes:
