Mia-Wexford

Mia Wexford is an Australian IT security specialist known for her deep expertise in VPN technologies, network protection, and digital privacy. Her career blends a strong academic background with more than fifteen years of practical experience in the cybersecurity field.

She earned her degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), focusing on network systems and cybersecurity. While her formal studies provided a solid technical foundation, it was her extensive hands-on work that shaped her professional expertise.

From 2008 to 2012, Mia worked as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst at a major Australian telecommunications company, gaining insight into large-scale ISP infrastructure, data practices, and the challenges of securing complex networks.

Between 2012 and 2016, she served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium-sized businesses in Melbourne. In this role, she developed end-to-end security solutions, conducted vulnerability assessments, and trained staff on cybersecurity best practices, helping organisations strengthen their defences against digital threats.

Since 2016, Mia has worked independently as a Security Consultant and Educator with a focus on VPN development and privacy solutions for individuals and families. Her current work includes personalised consultations, detailed security audits, educational projects, and ongoing research into encryption, online tracking methods, and user protection strategies.

Alongside her technical work, Mia is active in privacy advocacy in Australia, contributing to public discussions on data retention policies, participating in cybersecurity forums, and collaborating with privacy-focused organisations to support digital rights and accessible online protection tools.

Today, she continues to advance privacy-centred technologies and refine VPN solutions that balance strong security with ease of use. Her mission is to help Australians—and users worldwide—take control of their digital safety and navigate the internet with confidence. Learn more at https://miawexford.com.
