Hi – I’m Josh
Junior Security Analyst, self confessed nerd, and perpetual learner. My aim is to help like minded curious minds build their technology skills, feel free to follow along on my journey and start learning!
The Story So Far…
I didn’t walk down a traditional road into tech. I started off in busy, red-hot kitchens; service taught me to handle pressure, triage fast, and be precise with timing and communication. I later transitioned into the health and social care industry, fascinated by strict compliance and governance. This was the perfect environment to learn how to protect and empower the vulnerable.
Those stepping stones paired with my existing passion for computers and technology became my bridge into the industry. I landed my first IT gig on the service desk and quickly rose through the ranks, always hungry to learn more.
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 simpler—so more people can step in and succeed. And while I’m on my own journey into cybersecurity, I’ll share what I learn along the way.
From Humble Beginnings…
CyberMusing began in a quick volley of texts with my wife. I asked, “What do you think to 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‘ does sound security-based, but it also speaks to the wider digital space.” That’s when it clicked: Cyber + Musing captured how cut through noise, and turn ideas into clear, useful steps.
CyberMusing is my place to make sense of a fast-moving field: filter signal from noise, write in plain English, and favour steady, practical progress over shiny trends. It’s community over competition, and an empathetic on-ramp for people starting out or levelling up in IT and the world of Cyber.
CyberMusing is meant to be your quiet corner too. A safe space where curiosity becomes capability. Expect simple explanations, small wins, and a nudge in the right direction, so you always know where to go next.
