About Cyberphobia
Cyberphobia is the fear of technology. This is where it ends.
cy·ber·pho·bia (noun): fear of computers and technology.
The fix: knowing how it actually works.
I’m Abu, a cybersecurity executive leader based in the UAE. I run security programs and oversee SOC operations.
Most people trying to get into security are stuck between vague advice and 900-page textbooks. Cyberphobia sits in the middle: short videos that show how the work gets done, and step-by-step guides you can use the next day.

What I cover
Skills the job actually asks for
SOC
Working the alert queue
Reading ATT&CK as a map, knowing what normal looks like, writing SIEM queries and handing off cleanly to L2.
Careers
Interview prep
How real SOC panels run: the scenario, the follow-up that breaks your first answer, and how to recover.
Hands-on
Home labs
Build the attacker side and the defender side on the laptop you already own, with free tools.
GRC
Risk that gets funded
Turning business impact into numbers a board can act on, instead of a 150-row heat map.
