Welcome To Cyberwox Unplugged

Cyberwox Unplugged is where cybersecurity meets real life.

To me, it’s not just another newsletter. It’s a raw, reflective, and strategic journal for cybersecurity professionals, builders, and ambitious newcomers who care about the why behind the what.

Every month (or whenever inspiration strikes), I pull back the curtain on my journey as a Security Engineer, Content Creator, and Community Builder, sharing lessons I’ve learned in the trenches of detection engineering, incident response, threat intel, cloud security, and beyond.

This is where I write about:

  • How I move through my career with clarity and intention

  • What I’ve learned from mistakes, mentorship, and momentum

  • Tactical breakdowns of projects, frameworks, and wins

  • And reflections on purpose, growth, and legacy in this field

No recycled LinkedIn fluff.

No SEO-chasing listicles.

Just honest insights, field-tested perspectives, and frameworks to help you think deeper and move smarter in your cybersecurity journey.

Whether you're figuring out your next step or doubling down on your current path, Cyberwox Unplugged is your space to recalibrate, learn, and lead on your terms.
