CyberCX launches ‘We Secure Our Communities’ TV campaign for the Australian Open 2025 helmed by award-winning director Glenn Stewart
CyberCX, Australia’s leading cyber security provider, has today launched a new campaign to mark its partnership with the Australian Open in 2025 as official cyber security partner. Designed by award winning director Glenn Stewart, the 30-second ‘We Secure Our Communities’ TVC highlights the interconnectedness of the economy, infrastructure, and society and our vulnerability to cyber crime.
The TVC will be played on screens around the Australian Open in Melbourne over the next fortnight and feature on 9Now’s digital streams of the tournament.
The campaign comes after CyberCX released a report last year highlighting an increasingly hazardous cyber threat landscape confronting the global sporting sector, as a broad range of threat actors demonstrate intent and capability to target sporting organisations and major events
Says Stewart: “Symbols of community, infrastructure, and landmarks are realised to highlight how cyber crime affects all aspects of our highly connected lives, from transport and critical infrastructure to banks, health and even sport.
“By combining graphic overlays, cinematic visuals, and meticulously crafted sound design, we have created an immersive narrative that highlight’s CyberCX’s capabilities in a way that is visually stunning.”
Says John Paitaridis, CEO, CyberCX: “It’s a privilege for CyberCX to be partnering with Tennis Australia and we are proud to be the Cyber Security Partner of the Australian Open in 2025 as the eyes of the world turn to Australia for one of the pre-eminent sporting events globally.
“The We Secure Our Communities campaign elevates this partnership to the next level and the TVC brings to life our core message: that CyberCX’s mission is to protect the communities in which we live and work”
Stewart is a rising director known for blending striking visual storytelling seamlessly with an expertise in visual effects.
In the seven years since his directorial debut, Stewart has worked with global brands including Google, Toyota and Genesis, and in 2022 directed and single-handedly crafted the visual effects for The First Digital Nation: a landmark project highlighting the impact of rising sea levels on Tuvalu that went on to win over 60 awards, including the coveted Cannes Lion Titanium Grand Prix, redefining the genre of cause-driven storytelling in the process. All of this earned Stewart a top ten spot in D&AD’s Director Rankings in 2023, cementing his reputation as a director who knows how to turn a vision into an immersive story that resonates—and lingers.
Stewart directs television commercials locally represented by Collider and designs oriented projects under his freelance KOZU banner.
The Australian Open 2025 is CyberCX’s third year partnering with Tennis Australia. CyberCX is also the official cyber security partner of the Collingwood Football Club and the official cyber security partner to Rugby Australia’s Wallabies and Wallaroos.
CyberCX’s An unlevel playing field: Global sport and cyber threats, released in 2024, assessed the cyber threat level to the sports sector as high and outlines that the US$512 billion global sports market is perceived by threat actors as a high-value target. The report stresses the importance of sporting organisations understanding their cyber risks and implementing security controls, adopting regular security testing, software patching and multi-factor authentication when accessing key technology and systems.
