How Indigenous cyber firm Baidam is tackling Australia’s tech talent gap
The fast-growing Brisbane company has delivered more than $3.2 million value to First Nations peoples while helping solve a national skills shortage.
Pip Jenkinson and Jack Reis founded Baidam in 2018 with the bold vision of delivering world-class cybersecurity services while driving measurable change for First Nations Australians.
In the Kala Lagaw Ya language of Badu Island in the Torres Strait, “Baidam” refers to the hammerhead shark – a powerful symbol of protection, strength and leadership. It’s an apt name for a cybersecurity firm dedicated to hunting down and countering digital threats while safeguarding communities.
In the fast-moving world of cybersecurity, where threats evolve daily and resilience is paramount, Baidam stands out not just for its technical excellence but for its unwavering commitment to social impact.
