Welcome

Adventures in Cyber Security, Tech & Beyond with a Dad of Two.

I'm Muzni a cybersecurity and tech enthusiast juggling dad life with two amazing kids in beautiful New Zealand. When I'm not wrangling munchkins, you'll find me:

Cooking up a storm of Asian delicacies: Think Chicken Tikka that rocks, Mutton Curry that melts in your mouth, and Biryani that will transport you.

Exploring the world: From backpacking Europe to marveling at Dubai's skyline, I'm always up for an adventure.

Diving deep into the tech world: Cybersecurity is my passion, I am Blue Team Level-1 (BTL1) Certified Incident Responder and I'm constantly learning (currently pursuing AWS Certification!), tinkering with ethical hacking tools (BurpSuite, NMAP, etc.) and mastering defensive skills (Log Analysis, Incident Response, Vulnerability Management, etc.).

With over 12 years in customer service, telecom, and IT, I've honed my skills in everything from MS Office 365 and Azure to Active Directory. I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning and constantly pursuing industry certifications to stay ahead of the curve.

Get in touch!

I love connecting with fellow techies, foodies, and adventurers. Share your comments, suggestions, or just say hi! I'll do my best to get back to you ASAP.

Be kind, stay curious, and let's explore the world (both digital and real) together!

Why I Joined the Digital Defenders: My Journey into Cyber Security

It was then that I realised the immense responsibility entrusted to cyber security professionals. They are the silent heroes who toil away in the background, meticulously weaving a web of defense against malicious actors who seek to exploit our digital vulnerabilities. Their work, often unseen and un-celebrated, is the invisible shield that protects the critical infrastructure, confidential data, and even the very fabric of our digital society.

This realization sparked a curiosity within me, a burning desire to understand the intricacies of this digital battlefield and play my part in defending against its threats. I delved into the world of cyber security, devouring resources, enrolling in courses, and immersing myself in the ever-evolving landscape of online threats. The more I learned, the more fascinated I became.

What truly drew me in was the intellectual challenge posed by cyber security. It’s a game of cat and mouse, where attackers develop increasingly sophisticated tactics, and defenders must constantly adapt and innovate to stay ahead of the curve. It demands a blend of analytical thinking, technical expertise, and even a touch of creativity to anticipate the attacker’s next move and devise countermeasures.

But beyond the intellectual challenge, cyber security offers a profound sense of purpose. It’s not just about securing systems and protecting data; it’s about safeguarding the very foundations of our digital world. In an age where our lives are increasingly intertwined with technology, the work of cyber security professionals is more crucial than ever. They are the unsung heroes who ensure that we can operate online with confidence, knowing that our information and critical infrastructure are shielded from harm.

Today, as I embark on my journey in cyber security, I am driven by a deep commitment to this mission. I want to be part of the solution, to contribute to the collective effort to secure our digital world. With the emergency of AI & attacking vectors have become easy and affordable, I know the road ahead will be challenging, filled with complex problems and ever-evolving threats. But I am confident that with dedication, perseverance, and a thirst for knowledge, I can make a difference.

My story is just one among many. There are countless others who, like me, have been drawn to the noble calling of cyber security. We are the digital generation, the ones who grew up alongside the internet, and we understand the immense potential and inherent vulnerabilities of this interconnected world. We are the future of cyber security, and we are ready to take on the challenge.

This is not just a career choice; it's a passion, a commitment to building a safer and more secure digital future for all. So, if you're reading this and feel the same spark of curiosity, the same desire to make a difference, then join me. Let's stand together, united in our fight against the digital darkness, and become the guardians of our digital world.

Remember, the future of cyber security is in our hands. Let's make it a future where innovation thrives, trust prevails, and the online world becomes a safe and secure space for all.
