Nickelby (Nick) Thane has over 20 years of IT/information security experience (before the term cyber security was coined) ranging from roles such as a security engineer, a penetration tester, a consultant all the way to a CISO.​

​Nick joined the Aviation ISAC in February 2023 as the regional information security manager building communities in the APAC region and championing the importance of community sharing in a highly trusted manner.​

Nick strongly believes that it is only through continuous trust and comradeship within the aviation community can then a resilient and extremely capable community can exist to battle against cyber threats effectively.​

When not busy fighting cybercrime in his day job, Nick loves to spend time playing video games as well as spend quality bonding time with his family in Sydney, Australia – his wife Elisa, daughter Zelda and son Keanu.
