Joshua Reedy is the Chief Information Security Officer of Kordia Group, a role he commenced in March 2023.

Kordia's own news pages confirm the appointment, stating that Kordia Group has appointed Joshua Reedy as its new Chief Information Security Officer.

In the position he is responsible for Kordia's internal cyber security posture, integrating best practice and leading a team of security specialists, and he is based at the company's Auckland head office.

Career path

Reedy graduated from the University of Waikato with a degree in Computer Science and Psychology before spending nearly ten years at Vodafone NZ in IP and security engineering roles.

He then moved to 2Degrees into a security leadership position covering security governance, design and implementation, and risk management, where he managed a team of security engineers and held responsibility for vendor management.

Reedy later returned to Vodafone as Security Services Manager, a role in which he led both internal and enterprise operational delivery, shaped the company's security posture and drove security uplifts.

In that role he managed a team of more than twenty-five security professionals and held responsibilities spanning the Security Operations Centre and incident response, as well as overseeing security operations, design and delivery and leading internal offensive security teams.

From Vodafone, he joined Kordia Group as Chief Information Security Officer in March 2023.

Remit at Kordia

Kordia Group's Chief Digital Officer Aaron Olphert said Reedy's hands-on experience leading internal security teams and driving uplifts in similar business environments made him suited to the role, and described cyber security as a function that is also part of the portfolio Kordia offers its customers.

On joining, Reedy said, "Kordia has some brilliant people, and I'm looking forward to learning and working alongside them."

CSO Online's coverage of 2023 CISO appointments confirmed that Reedy's new responsibilities at the New Zealand technology services firm include taking charge of the group's internal cyber security posture and integrating best practices across the organization while leading its specialist security team.
