About
Hey, I'm Izzat 👋
I'm a cybersecurity leader and researcher with hands-on experience across security engineering, cloud security, SIEM operations, detection engineering, and drone security research.
By day I lead security teams and architect defensive systems at scale. By night I write — because most cybersecurity content online is either too shallow to be useful or too academic to be practical. This blog is my attempt to fix that.
What I write about
Every series here is built around something I've personally worked on, researched, or broken:
- Privacy & OPSEC — practical guides on reducing your digital footprint and operating more anonymously online
- SIEM & Detection Engineering — real-world Splunk pipelines, detection logic, and alert tuning from the ground up
- Drone Security — hardware attack surfaces, RF vulnerabilities, and what the security industry is getting wrong about UAVs
- Cloud Security — architecture decisions, misconfigurations, and defensive patterns that actually hold up in production
