Jonathon Tindale

Jonathon Tindale spent eight years inside critical infrastructure and defence, watching the same gap widen: sophisticated cyber teams operating beside a physical threat landscape nobody was systematically monitoring. A Director of Digital Transformation, OSINT specialist, and founder of a critical infrastructure intelligence company, they have worked across cyber security, software development, and critical infrastructure sectors. In 2025, they led a Defence Trailblazer program at UNSW, developing predictive threat models for Australia's maritime battlespace, applying regression and machine learning techniques to forecasting. They have adjudicated cyber security competitions, including Capture the Narrative events and presented on the role of marketing in influence campaigns.

Their advisory network spans defence, law enforcement, construction, energy, and telecommunications. They are the author of a forthcoming paper on the absence of intelligence tradecraft in physical critical infrastructure security, drawing on case studies across mining, energy, telecommunications, and postal sectors. Their OSINT and geospatial intelligence work is field-deployed, not theoretical, built from operational requirements where existing approaches failed under pressure.
