Hello, I’m Steve, the creator of EasyCyber.net. I’ve spent nearly 40 years working across the world of IT – from hands‑on technical roles to senior positions in cyber security and information assurance. Over the years I’ve worked with small businesses, large enterprises, and government organisations, helping them understand risk, protect their data, and build security into everyday operations.

One thing has always stood out:
most people don’t need more jargon – they need clear, practical guidance they can actually use.

That’s why I started this site.

My goal is simple:
to make cyber security understandable for everyone, whether you’re running a small business, working in a non‑technical role, or just trying to stay safe online at home. I believe good security doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or intimidating. With the right explanations, anyone can build strong habits and make informed decisions.

On this blog you’ll find:

  • Plain‑English explanations of common security topics
  • Practical tips you can apply straight away
  • Real‑world stories and lessons from decades in the industry
  • Curated reading lists and resources for learning more
  • Guidance designed for normal people, not security specialists

To keep the site fresh and accessible, some of the written content and images may be created with the help of AI tools. However, everything published here is reviewed, checked, and validated by me to ensure it’s accurate, trustworthy, and aligned with the plain‑English ethos of the site.

I’m passionate about helping others feel confident rather than overwhelmed. If you’ve ever felt that cyber security is “too technical” or “not for you”, you’re exactly who this site is for.

Thanks for visiting – and I hope you find something here that makes your digital life a little safer and a lot simpler.
