Sun Con 2026 Welcomes Ravinn as Silver Tier Sponsor and Technologist Stream Naming Partner
Sun Con 2026 is proud to announce Ravinn, the Sunshine Coast’s own cyber threat intelligence (CTI) company, as a Silver Tier Sponsor for this year’s event, taking naming rights to the Technologist Stream.
Proudly based on the Sunshine Coast and trusted nationally, Ravinn brings deep military and national security experience to the local cybersecurity community. As a Silver Tier Sponsor, Ravinn’s support reinforces Sun Con’s mission to elevate cyber capability, collaboration, and threat awareness across the region and beyond.
Ravinn: Local Roots. National Capability.
Built on genuine military and national security foundations, Ravinn specialises in CTI, helping organisations understand the real and relevant threats to their specific environment - who is targeting them, why they are been targeted, and how the adversary will target them. The Ravinn team transforms complex adversary activity into clear, actionable intelligence, enabling organisations to make confident, informed security decisions.
While threat intelligence sits at the core of Ravinn’s offering, the company supports organisations across the Sunshine Coast and Australia with a full spectrum of cybersecurity services, including:
• Cybersecurity strategy and uplift programs
• Incident response uplift and exercise
• Security audits and risk assessments
• Regulatory and assurance support
• Advisory services for complex and high-risk environments
Ravinn works with critical infrastructure, government, defence, and commercial organisations nationwide, while remaining deeply committed to supporting and protecting the businesses that make the Sunshine Coast strong.
"Dr Dennis Desmond, Ravinn’s CTO, believes that “CTI has traditionally been framed as a defensive discipline focused on identifying and analysing adversary activity, but emerging practices have increasingly involved actively engaging threat actors and infiltrating cybercriminal ecosystems. I think it’s important to examine whether these activities constitute a form of offensive cyber operations or represent a digital evolution of offensive counterintelligence tradecraft. I look forward to engaging fellow cybersecurity professionals from around the Sunshine Coast to share thoughts, expertise and to discuss Offensive Cyber Threat Intelligence as an emerging operational domain.”
Powering the Technologist Stream at Sun Con 2026
As the Technologist Stream Naming Partner, Ravinn will play a key role in shaping technical discussions at Sun Con 2026, focusing on real-world threat activity, adversary behaviour, detection, and defensive tradecraft.
The Technologist Stream is designed for hands-on practitioners—those building, defending, detecting, and responding on the front lines of cybersecurity. Ravinn’s expertise ensures the stream remains grounded in real threats, real lessons, and real outcomes.
Strengthening the Sunshine Coast Cyber Community
Sun Con brings together cybersecurity professionals, students, industry, and government to share knowledge, challenge thinking, and build stronger collective defences. Ravinn’s sponsorship reflects a shared belief that cybersecurity is a team sport, and that local collaboration is critical to staying ahead of evolving threats.
With Sun Con 2026 returning to the Sunshine Coast for another sold-out event, the support of local leaders like Ravinn continues to raise the bar for what the region’s cyber community can achieve together.
