Lumify Group wins top cyber security training award for 2025

Lumify Group has received the title of 'Cyber Security Training Business of the Year' at the 2025 Australian Cyber Awards.

The award recognises Lumify Group's contribution to strengthening cyber skills in Australia. Alongside the principal award, two Lumify Group employees were also named finalists in individual categories. Jeremy Daly was recognised as a finalist for the Cyber Security Rising Star (SME) award, while Louis Cremen was acknowledged in the Cyber Security Champion of the Year (Internal) category.

In 2024, Lumify Group reported significant growth in the number of students enrolled in its cybersecurity courses. The company has worked with a diverse range of clients, including Federal, State and local government agencies, the Australian Defence Force, major banks and companies, small and medium enterprises, and individual learners.

Lumify Group, which operated previously as DDLS Group, offers what it states is the largest suite of cybersecurity training solutions in Australia. The company provides instruction suited to individuals at various stages of their careers, from those at entry level to experienced professionals and senior executives.

All courses are delivered through its subsidiaries. Lumify Learn is tailored to early-career professionals and offers a variety of options ranging from bootcamps aligned with industry certification to Certificate III and Diplomas in key cybersecurity topics, such as ethical hacking and network security.

For professionals seeking to expand their skill sets, Lumify Work delivers training in official certifications from bodies such as ISC2, ISACA, CompTIA, EC Council, Offsec, PECB, Practical DevSecOps and Certnexus. The curriculum also covers security courses from vendors including Microsoft, AWS, Google and CISCO. In addition, Lumify Work runs a custom workshop for senior leaders, management, and executives focusing on cybersecurity at the leadership and board level.

Jon Lang, Chief Executive Officer of Lumify Group, said, "Whether we are bringing new students into the industry, upskilling businesses to meet their specific needs or assisting the government to strengthen our national security capabilities – we are deeply committed to closing the cyber skills gap. Being officially recognised by the Australian Cyber Awards is a strong reflection of this ongoing commitment."

Jeremy Daly, Lumify Work Cyber Security Lead, commented, "For more than three decades, we've upskilled thousands of teams and businesses, partnering with the world's top tech vendors to become Australasia's leaders in ICT training. With our combination of cybersecurity certification training and accredited learning, we're able to deliver on the full spectrum of IT and cybersecurity training from an individual's first entry into the industry through to ongoing skills and development needed for seasoned professionals."

The company offers flexible delivery options for its cybersecurity programmes, providing choices between instructor-led training at six campuses, virtual sessions, or fully online self-paced study. Lumify's instructors bring considerable professional experience, ensuring that course content remains relevant and up-to-date.

Lumify Work also provides custom training programmes tailored to clients' specific technology environments and organisational roles.

In addition to teaching, Lumify Group supports jobseekers through its Lumify Edge careers portal. The platform connects students, businesses and recruiters, and enables graduates to promote themselves and apply for roles with the company's industry partners.

The company has also introduced a job placement programme for Lumify Learn graduates. Under the initiative, students who do not secure full-time work after completing their course receive a money-back guarantee. The programme facilitates a transition from education to employment, offering 12-week IT internships to provide on-the-job experience.
