Welcome to Learn Automate Secure

Hi, I'm Ruqqoyah.

My background is primarily in cybersecurity, with experience spanning Security Operations Centers (SOC), blue team operations, threat detection, incident response, and detection engineering. Over the years, I have worked on triaging alerts, investigating incidents, hunting threats, and building detections to improve visibility and stay ahead of evolving threats. It is the kind of work that keeps you sharp and constantly learning—and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I created Learn Automate Secure as a place to publicly document my learning journey and share practical knowledge from the field. Here you will find articles, tutorials, notes, and lessons learned covering cybersecurity, detection engineering, security automation, API security, malware analysis, AI, and other topics that I find valuable and worth exploring.

My goal is simple: learn continuously, automate where possible, secure what matters, and share that knowledge with others along the way.

Join me on this journey as I continue learning, exploring new challenges, and sharing what I discover—one lesson, one project, and one step at a time.
