A social enterprise.
Cybergiene Group is a social enterprise focused on democratising digital resiliency. We exist because practical digital safety should be available to everyone — not just those with the resources to find it.
Accessible by default.
Digital resiliency has become a privilege. The tools, the knowledge, and the systems to stay safe online tend to reach those who already have the resources to find them.
Most individuals, small businesses, and community organisations face the same threats as large enterprises — phishing, account compromise, data leaks, ransomware — but without the budget, the IT teams, or the institutional knowledge to defend themselves. Guidance that does exist is often technical, fragmented, or written for a different audience.
The scale of the problem is real. According to the Australian Institute of Criminology's 2024 Cybercrime Report, nearly half of Australians surveyed experienced at least one form of cybercrime in a single year — costing individuals over $2.69 billion. Despite this, formal help-seeking remains persistently low. Most victims don't know where to turn, or don't believe help is available to them.
The result: the people most exposed to harm are the least equipped to prevent it.
Cybergiene is a counter to that — doing for cybersafety what Robinhood did for retail investing: making it easy for individuals and micro-businesses to access the right tools, resources, and communities, systemically personalised to their circumstances.
Three areas of focus.
Deeptech Commercialisation
Translating cutting-edge security research into practical, accessible products that ordinary people and small organisations can actually use.
Novel Cyber Resilience Frameworks
Defining new standards and playbooks for cyber resilience that are designed around the needs of individuals and micro-businesses, not enterprises.
Political Advocacy
Pushing for policy and regulatory environments that treat digital safety as a public good — and hold platforms and institutions accountable for closing the gap.
Kenny Zhong
Founder & Director · Cybergiene Group
Kenny is a cybersecurity professional and solo founder based in Australia. He founded Cybergiene Group on the belief that the digital safety industry has largely failed the people who need it most — individuals, families, and small organisations who face real risk but can't access the knowledge or tools to respond to it.
His work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity practice, social enterprise, and systems thinking. He is focused on building a group that can operate across sectors — government, academia, private industry, and community — to create meaningful, lasting change in how digital resilience is understood and accessed.
Cybergiene is the vehicle for that belief: a group built not to serve a market, but to close a gap.
