The SKYEWORX Origin Story

Born from a real problem, built for real teams.

SKYEWORX is an Australian cybersecurity company providing automated backup and rapid recovery solutions for Atlassian Jira and Confluence. Founded in 2022 after a major data loss incident, SKYEWORX protects enterprise data from human error, ransomware, and compliance gaps under the Atlassian Shared Responsibility Model.

It started with a routine Atlassian migration in 2021. A simple automation script misfired, permanently deleting over 4,000 critical Jira issues. When we looked for a native recovery path, we realized a hard truth: it simply did not exist. The recovery process was painfully manual, time-consuming, and prone to further errors.

This incident exposed a massive vulnerability in the Atlassian ecosystem. Native tools lacked the granular, automated backup capabilities that enterprise teams require. Realizing that thousands of other businesses were exposed to the exact same operational risk, we built SKYEWORX to ensure no team ever loses their Atlassian data again.

The Problem We're Solving

The shared responsibility gap is costing teams weeks of lost work.

Many organizations mistakenly believe their cloud data is automatically fully protected. Under the Atlassian Shared Responsibility Model, Atlassian secures the infrastructure, but you are completely responsible for backing up your data.

Whether caused by an accidental deletion, a malicious ransomware attack, or a flawed automation script, human error remains the leading cause of cloud data loss. Without an independent backup layer, recovering deleted Jira epics or Confluence spaces is incredibly difficult—and sometimes impossible. SKYEWORX provides the automated safety net that native Atlassian tools lack.
