I’m Mia Wexford, an IT security professional based in Australia, specialising in VPN technology and digital privacy solutions. My journey in IT began with a degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where I focused on network systems and cybersecurity. While my formal education gave me a strong foundation, it’s been over fifteen years of hands-on experience that have truly defined my expertise.

2008–2012: I started as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst at a major Australian telecommunications company. There, I gained invaluable insight into ISP operations, data management practices, and network security deployment at scale.

2012–2016: I worked as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium businesses across Melbourne, helping organisations implement robust security measures, conducting vulnerability assessments, and educating staff on practical cybersecurity strategies.

2016–Present: I’ve been working independently, providing personalised security consulting and educational support, with a strong focus on VPN technologies and privacy solutions for individuals and families. My work involves one-on-one consultations, security audits, content creation, and ongoing research into emerging cyber threats and protective technologies.

Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply involved in privacy advocacy in Australia. I contribute to public consultations on data retention and privacy laws, participate in cybersecurity forums, and collaborate with privacy-focused organisations to promote digital rights and safe online practices.

Every day, I strive to make privacy and secure browsing accessible to everyone. My goal is to empower individuals and families with the tools and knowledge they need to confidently navigate the digital world.
