Cybersecurity Lab

A structured journey toward Purple Team practice

The Cybersecurity Lab is a documented learning and experimentation space. For Alex, cybersecurity is a structured discipline built on methodology, documentation, ethical practice, and understanding both offensive and defensive perspectives.

The path moves toward professional penetration testing, Purple Team collaboration, detection-aware security work, and security consulting through legal, lab-first practice.
