Mia-Wexford

Mia Wexford is an Australian IT security specialist with extensive experience in VPN technologies, network protection, and digital privacy. Her professional journey is built on a strong technical education and more than fifteen years of practical work in the cybersecurity domain.

She earned her degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), focusing on network systems and cybersecurity. While her academic training provided essential technical knowledge, it was her hands-on work that truly developed her expertise.

From 2008 to 2012, Mia worked as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst at a major Australian telecommunications company, gaining firsthand experience with large-scale network infrastructure, data practices, and the challenges of securing complex systems.

Between 2012 and 2016, she served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium-sized businesses in Melbourne, where she designed robust security solutions, conducted vulnerability assessments, and trained staff in cybersecurity best practices to strengthen organisational defences.

Since 2016, Mia has been working independently as a Security Consultant and Educator, specialising in VPN technology and privacy solutions for individuals and families. Her current work includes personalised consultations, comprehensive security audits, educational resources, and ongoing research into encryption, online tracking, and user protection.

In addition to her technical roles, Mia is actively involved in privacy advocacy in Australia, contributing to discussions on data retention policies, speaking at cybersecurity forums, and supporting initiatives that promote digital rights and accessible online safety tools.

Today, Mia continues to advance privacy-focused solutions and refine VPN technologies that blend strong security with user-friendly design. Her goal is to empower people in Australia and around the world to take control of their digital privacy and browse the internet with confidence.
