We are excited to introduce Kyle Zrinski, our new PHP Developer. Working with the tech team, he will be a vital contributor to our new IAA Member Portal.
Before joining IAA, Kyle worked as a Desktop IT Support Technician and is currently completing a degree in Information Technology at ECU.
Kyle brings a real passion for software development which is heavily integrated with the Internet, and is excited to move into the Internet industry, seeing it as an exceptional opportunity to learn and grow professionally.
In his spare time, Kyle enjoys tinkering with hobby electronics and 3D printers, designing projects such as smart plant pots and logic puzzles – you may even find him tearing up the racetrack or working on cars!
This month’s Meet the Member segment features our wonderful Deputy Chair, Brett O’Hara, who is employed as a Senior Network Engineer at Vocus in the Platform Engineering Group. Brett joined IAA in 2019 after attending IAA events as a guest of a Corporate member to meet and network with people in the industry.
Brett’s interest in the Internet industry was an extension of his early hobby: messing around with modems and other network gear. Working out how to exchange international email via UUCP locally rather than expensive international calls was a real thrill – he was lucky enough for this to then become a career!
Throughout his career, Brett has achieved many things. From starting out in a dial-up ISP in the 90s that quickly evolved from PSTN to ISDN to Frame Relay, ATM and ever upwards. Moving from kilobits to megabits and then gigabits in just a few years. These days working at Vocus, he evaluates, selects and deploys new network platforms into their network, as well as manages new features and lifecycles on existing platforms to help Vocus stay on top of new and developing technologies.
Next month Narelle will be presenting at the Cyber Security for Government Summit 2022 – building government’s cyber resilience capability.
Date: Tuesday, 26 July – Thursday 28 July 2022
Type: Hybrid
Location: Hotel Swissotel Sydney or online
This event offers an in-depth look at how national and international organisations are building their cyber-defences in an increasingly vulnerable environment.
The program offers practical knowledge to develop a cyber threat intelligence program as cyber-attacks escalate. This trend is highlighted by governments being warned to improve resilience in a heightened threat environment. The agenda also spotlights the action plan to build the government’s cyber-resilience capability, together with a look at future cyber security funding, amendments to cyber security legislation, and cyber security policies across all tiers of government.
The agenda is tailored for cyber and information security professionals directly responsible for protecting government assets, critical infrastructure, and data against malicious actors.

Across two nights, Equinix SY1 had new equipment installed and the layout of hardware rearranged. This work was necessary as it helps to increase our hardware capacity to keep up with the demand and builds further resiliency into this site. Two of our engineers worked across two nights to complete the job and even managed to take a couple of minutes to record their WA-IX birthday wishes. Thanks for your hard work, team!
