I put this site together to chronicle my cybersecurity studies and provide resources for others who are also studying cybersecurity. I do not currently work in cybersecurity. I am an Emergency Manager who has always loved computers. I am nearing retirement from this position and am looking toward a possible career change. To study in my spare time, I have built a home lab to learn new technologies to expand my technical skill. This blog will include smaller posts on some of the basics of cybersecurity, tests of various software, hardware, and techniques, and longer posts on some of my larger projects.

I am currently working on a long-form writing project, “Cybersecurity for Emergency Managers.” This project will provide an entry-level perspective on cybersecurity in the language of Emergency Managers. Emergency Management planning must consider the cybersecurity threats and potential impacts. Unfortunately, these threats can be challenging for those without technical training to understand. This project will align cybersecurity and emergency management planning frameworks with limited technical language. I will post some of this content here and use some content I post here in that project.

If you have suggestions for topics or recommendations for improvements, please reach out to me through email or social media.
