Protecting Your Business in a Modern Digital World

Laura Bell Main specializes in securing some of Australia and New Zealand’s fastest-growing organizations. She has over twenty years of experience in software development and information security.

It’s her mission to bring security into organizations of every shape and size.

Laura is the founder and CEO of SafeStack Academy, an online education platform offering flexible, high-quality, and people-focused, secure development training for fast-moving companies.

SafeStack is a values-driven company on a mission to make cybersecurity accessible for everyone and any organization. “To protect each one of us, we must protect all of us,” this is the underpinning belief that drives Laura.

Her company is pushing hard into this issue by attempting to train all of our organizations, big and small. Through free plans, student sponsorships, and sponsored communities, she is working towards a future where we no longer spend 99% of our security resources on 1% of our organizations.

She is an experienced conference speaker, trainer, and regular panel member, and has spoken at a range of events such as BlackHat USA, Velocity, and OSCON on the subjects of privacy, covert communications, agile security, and security mindset.
