Specialist depth, backed by a global platform
Walking Comet knows gaming, casinos and the Australian venue floor. HexaShield brings the proprietary platforms and round-the-clock coverage. Together that is continuous, platform-backed resilience from the gaming floor to the boardroom.
Walking Comet
Casino and gaming security expertise, penetration testing and source code review, local incident response, governance and compliance advisory, and venue floor-level understanding. Based in Sydney, in-market and in the same time zone as the venues.
HexaShield
Proprietary platforms, specialist expertise and strategic technology partnerships, with managed security operations running 24/7 on a follow-the-sun basis.
Local specialist depth. Global platform behind it.
Two halves of one proposition
The specialist work and local relationship a client gets from Walking Comet, backed by an enterprise-grade detection, response and compliance platform, without either side compromising on what it does best.
Gaming and casino expertise
Sector depth from a team that works the Australian venue floor, paired with a gaming and clubs proposition built around the sector own use cases.
Penetration testing and code review
Walking Comet testing depth, with findings routed into deployed detections rather than filed as a report.
Incident response, locally
Local response capability backed by a 24/7 follow-the-sun SOC across four delivery countries, so an alert out of hours meets analysts on shift.
Governance and compliance
Advisory delivered locally, with continuous evidence, third-party risk and audit readiness carried by the platform.
Venue and floor understanding
Gaming floor and venue operational technology monitored alongside corporate IT, surfaced in one board-level view.
Training and pathways
Platform and analyst experience to draw on, and a route for graduates into real operations.
Specialist depth where it counts, platform strength behind it.
Platforms nobody has to build twice
HexaShield brings the detection, response and compliance platforms and the round-the-clock coverage, so Walking Comet can focus on the specialist work it does best.
Offensive security, shared
Testing depth compounds when it is shared rather than duplicated. Findings feed straight into deployed detections, not a report on a shelf.
One accountable answer
The client gets specialist depth and a global platform as a single, accountable service, instead of two partial ones.

What the partnership means on the ground
We know this sector and we know what actually goes wrong in a venue. What we did not want to do was build a 24/7 operation to sit behind it. HexaShield brings the platforms and the round-the-clock coverage, we bring the specialist work and the local relationship, and the client gets one accountable answer instead of two partial ones.
Gaming is a discipline, not a vertical you can read into. Walking Comet has that depth and a presence in the time zone the venues actually operate in. Our platforms are stronger for being pointed at problems by people who know the floor.
