A lot has changed over the past year.
Some things didn't work out the way I wanted them to. Looking back, I'm glad they didn't.
Sometimes, what feels like a setback is just a redirection.
Onward.

Me year ago after successfully connecting 2 agents to the SIEM dashboard: Cyber warfare has officially begun.
Reality: Spent 4 hours fixing one typo in the config file.

Built an Agentic SOC workflow using n8n to automate alert enrichment, Slack notifications, and Jira ticketing, reducing manual SOC triage effort while improving incident visibility and automated response workflows.

I’ve been learning Cyber Security for 4 years. Along the way I realized something important.

What happens when workflows start thinking instead of just executing rules?

With n8n + AI, automation can analyze alerts, route support tickets, and even organize company knowledge.

I broke this down with real examples in my latest blog.

Just shared a beginner-friendly guide on getting started with Sysmon, covering what it is, how to install it, and how to configure it for useful security visibility. I kept it simple and practical so anyone building a detection lab can follow along easily.

I have been building on-prem SOC lab using VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. What other on-prem virtualization or lab platforms do SOC learners and security practitioners use for more advanced or scalable environments? Looking for practical tool recommendations.

Random thought: if you had to learn one new skill in 2026, what would it be?
I’m currently focused on SOC learning, building small hands-on security projects, and experimenting with n8n automation to cut down repetitive work.
Curious what others are learning.

Just joined Bluesky.
I work with cybersecurity and spend most of my time building SOC and SIEM labs, breaking things, and learning how tools behave in the real world.
Looking forward to learning from people here.
