Strategy: sorted.
Capital: not so much.

AI, cloud and security move faster than any annual budget cycle. Every month you wait is a month of ground lost.

Ransomware doesn't wait for a convenient time to strike, and now neither does the reporting clock.

If your business turns over $3 million or more, a ransomware or cyber extortion payment has to be reported to the ASD within 72 hours under the Cyber Security Act. It's a fast-moving obligation for a problem most businesses would rather never face in the first place.

dop™ Secure layers protection across your endpoints, email, cloud and identity, so a ransom payment and a 72-hour countdown stay a hypothetical, not a Tuesday.

We’re proud to share that our CEO, Kellie Barnes, is a finalist in The CEO Magazine Global Australia 2026 Executive of the Year Awards - IT and Telecommunications category.

Since stepping into the role, Kellie has led with a simple approach: ask what the real problem is, then trust the team to solve it. It’s a style built on listening first, backing people and valuing what makes each person on the team different.

The result speaks for itself. A culture people are proud to be part of. And now, national recognition for the person who helped shape it.

Congratulations, Kellie. This nomination reflects what you’ve built here, and we couldn’t be prouder to have you leading dop™.

Congratulations also to the other finalists and thank you to The CEO Magazine Global for the recognition.

Refreshing the whole team's laptops sounds simple until finance sees the invoice.

Twenty devices bought outright can mean tens of thousands of dollars in one hit, which is exactly why so many businesses put it off and quietly keep ageing hardware running a little longer than they should.

That delay has its own cost, slower devices, more support calls, and security patches that eventually run out.

dop finance turns a hardware refresh into a predictable monthly cost instead of a lump sum, so devices get replaced on schedule and cash stays free for the rest of the business.

Office mandates are going up. So is the legal right to work from home. Both, at the same time.

39% of Australian employers now want staff back five days a week, and most admit it's because competitors are doing it too. Meanwhile, from 1 September, eligible Victorian employees get a legal right to two work-from-home days a week, no justification needed.

Whichever way your policy leans, the workplace behind it has to work for both. Room bookings, device access, the tools people use on any given day, none of that can lag behind a policy that keeps moving.

Is your workplace built to flex, or built for one fixed pattern?

New tech shouldn't mean an impossible choice between the tools your business needs and the state of your balance sheet.

That's the gap we've just closed. dop™ has partnered with DLL , a global asset finance provider with over 50 years of experience helping businesses invest in the equipment and technology that drives them forward.

"This isn't about financial services in isolation, it's about making it easier for businesses to access the technology they need, when they need it," says Aileen Darracott, Regional Sales Manager at DLL .

This is how we help you adopt the technology you need, without waiting on next year's budget to solve this year's problem. It's part of dop finance: one more way we remove friction between where your business is and where it needs to be.

Real problems. Real partners. Real outcomes.

Alan Kohler didn’t recommend a crypto platform. A deepfake of him did.

ASIC’s latest report shows it removed 19,400 scams in the past year, up 182 per cent, many using AI deepfakes of recognisable Australians, including the Prime Minister, Gina Rinehart and Kohler, to make the schemes look credible.

This isn’t a marketing problem, it’s a cyber security one. ASIC chair Sarah Court says the content is now polished enough that people can scrutinise it closely and still not spot the fake. The same techniques used to impersonate a public figure can just as easily target a CEO, a supplier or a finance team, not through a technical exploit but a convincing message that looks exactly like it should.
This is where dop™ Secure operates: cyber security, identity protection and fraud prevention working together, not as separate tools. The businesses that hold up aren’t the ones with the most software. They’re the ones with layered defences and people trained to pause before they trust what they see.

When was the last time your business tested whether your team could spot the fake?

After a day of strategy, we stayed a little longer, this time for a well-earned Day Out.

Good energy, good people, and a few laughs that reminded us why we love our team.

Because behind every win for our customers is a team that genuinely enjoys the journey.

Here‘s to the climb, and the company along the way.

That’s officially a wrap on Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences and Black Hat in Vegas for 2026!

The dop™ team spent the week fully immersed in everything AI and cyber security, from a fireside chat on the changing economics of cyber advantage, to KPMG‘s exclusive AiHouse seminar on preparing teams, workflows and operating models for an AI powered future.

Beyond the sessions, it was the conversations that made the week, countless discussions with enterprise leaders on where AI and security are heading next, plus some incredible networking events along the way.

We’re heading home with a fountain of new ideas and fresh learnings, ready to bring the best of what‘s next in AI and cyber security back to our team and our customers.

The classroom has evolved, and so has the security perimeter.

As our Enterprise Account Executive, Nicholas Parslow, recently highlighted, learning now happens everywhere. Students, academics and staff are accessing applications and sensitive data across campuses, homes and devices, making the browser an increasingly critical cybersecurity control point.
Through dop™ Network and Prisma Access Browser from Palo Alto, we help education organisations secure access to SaaS applications, protect sensitive student and research data, and reduce risk across devices and locations.
Secure learning starts from the browser out.
