Welcome to CyberSec In Focus.
This site is my personal lab notebook — a quiet space where I explore cybersecurity with curiosity, clarity, and a human-first mindset.
If you’re here for the first time, this page will help you understand what this site is about and where to begin.
What This Site Is (and Isn’t)
- This is not a news site chasing the latest breach or vulnerability.
- It’s not vendor-driven or SEO-optimized for clicks.
Instead, it’s a place where I:
- Break down cybersecurity concepts simply
- Reflect on architecture, frameworks, and real-world practices
- Share honest thoughts — even when they’re messy or still forming
Who This Site Is For
- Security professionals looking for clarity over complexity
- Beginners who want to learn from a real human, not just documentation
- Anyone trying to stay grounded in a field that moves fast
- Thinkers, tinkerers, and people with distracted minds (like mine)
Start With These Posts
Here are a few posts I recommend if you’re just getting started:
- MDR vs SOC vs SIEM vs SOAR: What I Actually Recommend
