At Hive Data Security, we believe that data is the most valuable—and most vulnerable—asset in the modern enterprise. As global data volumes surge and cyber threats evolve, organisations need a smarter, faster, and more strategic way to protect what matters most.
Hive was founded by Dr. Craig Horne, a recognised authority in cybersecurity, with over 25 years of experience spanning defence, consulting, research, and leadership. Craig has held senior roles in both the private and public sectors, served in the Australian Defence Force, and led major cybersecurity initiatives at KPMG. He holds a PhD in Information Security Strategy from the University of Melbourne and has helped shape national digital security conversations through his work with the Australian Computer Society.
Craig created Hive after seeing first-hand how outdated and manual data security assessments were failing enterprise organisations—costing time, money, and resilience. His mission: to build a solution that automates data discovery, simplifies compliance, and turns security from a roadblock into a competitive advantage.
