Founder & Managing Director

Jonny Tyers, Founder & Managing Director
Jonny Tyers
Founder & Managing Director

Jonny started out as a hacker. He recognised early on that often, security is about getting the basics right. Organisations suffer breaches because of the basics — yet technology is now more complex, more interconnected, and more critical than ever before.

He founded Threatplane in 2017 to give technology businesses a practical, scalable way to understand and manage their cybersecurity risks. Over 15 years of hands-on security work across defence and intelligence, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government informs how the platform and methodology are built.

Jonny writes and speaks on threat modeling, application security, and building security culture inside engineering teams.
