About 4walls

Turning Cyber Risk into something Leaders can actually use

Most cyber problems don’t start with hackers. They start with confusion.  Too many dashboards, too many reports, too many “priorities.” 4walls exists to fix that—by giving leaders a clear, practical view of their cybersecurity in one place.

Where it all started

After two decades in IT and cybersecurity, Nik Devidas kept seeing the same issue. Leaders didn’t lack commitment. They lacked clarity.

Everyone cared about cyber risk, yet no one had a simple way to manage it. 4walls began as a response to that gap. A platform designed to make cyber resilience understandable, trackable, and achievable—no technical dictionary required.

Meet the Founder: Nik Devidas

Nik has spent more than 20 years helping organisations strengthen their technology and security foundations. In 2003 he co-founded Rock IT, a managed services provider that later earned global rankings and was acquired in 2023.

He went on to found 4walls Cyber Advisory, building tools and programmes that simplify cyber risk for executives, boards, and leadership teams. Today he also serves as Group CEO of Axelo and sat government boards including Barwon Water Corporation and Barwon Asset Solutions.  

Nik is known for turning complex risk into decisions leaders can act on. He speaks regularly on cybersecurity & AI governance, threat trends, insurance readiness, and the role of human behaviour in preventing breaches.

When people understand risk, they make better decisions. 
That belief sits at the centre of 4walls.

What our clients are saying...

We have been in very good hands with Nik and the 4walls Cyber Advisory team. Who knew cyber training would be fun?! Nik brings a great combination of deep expertise, dynamism and humour to his training sessions. Particularly impressive was Nik’s ability to engage and build capability across a diverse participant cohort with varied knowledge on the subjects raised – from Presidents, Directors, CEOs, to staff members and young people.

We have greatly appreciated Nik and the 4walls Cyber Advisory team going above and beyond in support of us, across their cyber security assessment, cyber governance and end user training offerings. We look forward to continuing to build our capability and cyber resilience, with the support of the 4walls Cyber Advisory Team.

Chief Executive Officer, YMCA Australia

Working with 4walls Cyber Advisory was an informative and enabling experience for Y Australia. From the outset, Nik’s expert approach was clear, supportive and underpinned by deep expertise in cyber security risk, with an appreciation for the unique features of our operating environment.

Nik took the time to understand our organisation and work with us in such a practical way, that it was an enjoyable and highly valuable experience for all involved, we confirmed what was working well and when we did identify areas of vulnerability, we were provided clear and tailored advice on how to strengthen our controls and resilience.

4walls Cyber Advisory approach the assessment process by creating an environment which promotes openness and transparency, all for the purpose of helping us improve and uplift our awareness, capabilities and preparedness.

The training provided was particularly welcomed by all, using real case studies, a highly visual, engaging and often fun look under the hood of how cyber controls can be breached. We all left the training with a heightened alertness to the risks and a greater appreciation for the vigilance we need to keep our organisation safe.
