Hi – I’m Josh
Junior Security Analyst, self-confessed nerd, and perpetual learner. I’m here to help curious minds like yours build real technology skills. Follow along on my journey and let’s start learning together.
The Story So Far…
I didn’t take the traditional path into tech. My journey started in busy, red-hot kitchens where service taught me to handle pressure, triage fast, and communicate with precision. Later, I transitioned into health and social care, where I became fascinated by strict compliance and governance – the perfect environment to learn how to protect and empower the vulnerable.
Those experiences, paired with my lifelong passion for computers and technology, became my bridge into the industry. I landed my first IT role on the service desk and quickly climbed the ranks, always hungry to learn more.
Now, I want to help shape a cyber community that’s confident, ethical, and inclusive. I’ll champion practical learning, encourage collaboration, and make the path into cybersecurity clearer – so more people can step in and succeed. I’m on my own journey into cybersecurity, and I’ll share everything I learn along the way.
From Humble Beginnings…
CyberMusing was born in a quick exchange of texts with my wife. I asked, “What do you think about infomusing.com?” and added, “musing means a period of thought, reflection.” A minute later: “Sorry for the spam, what about cybermusing.com?” She replied, “CyberMusing is quite good; infomusing seems quite open, so it depends if you want to be generic.” I said, “Yeah, I quite like CyberMusing. ‘Cyber‘ sounds security-based, but it also speaks to the wider digital space.” That’s when it clicked: Cyber + Musing captured my approach – cut through the noise and turn ideas into clear, actionable steps.
CyberMusing is my place to make sense of a fast-moving field. I filter signal from noise, write in plain English, and favor steady, practical progress over shiny trends. It’s about community over competition, and creating an empathetic on-ramp for people starting out or leveling up in IT and cybersecurity.
CyberMusing is meant to be your quiet corner too – a safe space where curiosity becomes capability. Expect simple explanations, small wins, and a gentle nudge in the right direction, so you always know where to go next.
