I'm Weston Raze.
I work in security.

I started this channel because I kept seeing the same pattern — people giving security advice they clearly hadn't tested, recommending tools they'd never run in a real environment, and repeating vendor talking points like they were facts.

I've spent years doing this work. Threat detection, incident response, infrastructure hardening, log analysis — the day-to-day stuff that doesn't make for flashy content but actually matters.

"The security industry has gotten very good at making people feel protected without actually protecting them. I wanted to document what real protection looks like."

The Learning Academy came from conversations with people trying to get into this field but unable to tell the good resources from the bad. So I built the resource I wish I'd had.

Everything here is stuff I'd stake my own systems on. That's the standard.
