Hi, I'm the analyst behind Security Secrets.
I work in a 24/7 Security Operations Center — triaging alerts, hunting threats, and writing detections that cut through noise. After years of explaining phishing and password hygiene to friends and family, I realised most security advice online is either too scary or too technical. So I started writing the kind of content I wish existed when I was starting out.
This site is where two sides of my work meet: the serious, practical craft of defending organisations, and the patient, plain-English craft of helping regular people stay safe online. Both matter. Both belong here.
