About
We built this because
we were the IT manager.
ABTDS started as a CSG3101 capstone project at Edith Cowan University in Perth. The brief was open: build something that solves a real cybersecurity problem. Our team picked behavioural threat detection because we'd all worked in IT shops where the security tool was Defender + a feeling.
Mid-way through the project we realised we'd built something we'd actually want to use. The 9-factor explainable scoring, the Gemini analysis, the per-user baseline ribbons — none of it existed at SMB prices. CrowdStrike has the budget for it but treats it as enterprise upsell. The free tools (Wazuh, OSSEC) don't have it at all.
So we're turning it into a real product. Same code, same team, same standards. Now with a phone number and a billing system.
If you sign up in this phase, you get a direct line to the people who wrote the code. That's not a marketing line — it's because there are no support tickets yet. Just our email addresses.
Honest about stage
We're new.
Here's exactly how new.
Most security vendors hide their stage behind logos and "trusted by" walls. We won't. ABTDS started as a capstone research project at Edith Cowan University in Perth, became a real product when we realised SMBs have no good options, and is now accepting its first 10 pilot customers.
If you sign up today, you get the founders' phone numbers, a co-authored case study, and a 30% lifetime discount in exchange for honest feedback during a phase that defines the product.
We won't claim Fortune-500 logos we don't have. When we have a customer, you'll be able to read their incident report.
Yet. You could be the first.
