The field of cyber security in my country Libya, is one of the rare disciplines, and
there is no great demand for its study, whether for university studies or graduate
studies, and the prevailing idea in society is that it considers this field
unimportant and they do not give it any importance, and just as the majority in
society has a negative idea about cybersecurity; It is the fear of dealing online, like
buying, selling, as these transactions will expose them to penetration and theft of
their data. Unfortunately, there is no strong trust between the user and online
transactions, and this is due to the country’s weak infrastructure, and the lack of
awareness campaigns on the importance of cybersecurity.
From this point of view, my master’s studies in the US will focus on the
specialization of computer science, especially the field of cyber security, which I
will focus on areas that will be of great benefit to the advancement and
development of the infrastructure of my country Libya — Malware analysis,
Application Security, Operation security, Mobile phone security, and Encryption.
After obtaining a master’s degree in cybersecurity, I will invest my experience in

working as a teacher in order to update and develop educational curricula in
universities and institutes of Libya and hold workshops and educational seminars
to introduce the importance of cybersecurity, so that this specialization is one of
the most important disciplines in universities and graduate studies in my country,
and changing the prevailing idea in society for this field, to make it one of the
most attractive disciplines for students and professionals in my country.
I will also contribute to the design of strategies, the development of the security
infrastructure system for cybersecurity, and the creation of protection systems for
governmental and non-governmental institutions in terms of confidentiality and
security of financial, economic, and military data and information, and also for the
ordinary user who will be able to use the Internet safely without being hacked or
blackmailed by stealing his data and sensitive information.
My ambition will not only benefit at the local level — but I want to contribute to
and impact the world with the skills that I gained through a master’s degree and
invest the knowledge and experience with the help of the world and major
companies such as Apple, Twitter, and Google in improving their protection
systems by discovering security gaps and bugs and sharing them with the
specialized teams and finding new ways and methods for developing their
protection systems.

My story with cybersecurity started when I owned an iPhone 4s in 2014.

While I was using and exploring this device, I came across something on Twitter
called Jailbreak; I delved more into it and day by day, I started learning something
new about the iOS protection mechanism, and the sequence to get a perfect
exploit, from a minor bug to a full kernel exploit.
I’ve always asked myself: “How can a group of lines of codes control an entire
operating system?” Over time, I got to know many global security teams as the
Google Project Zero team. One of the useful things which the team does is that
with each discovery of a specific bug, it immediately publishes a write-up of the
bug from which I learn a lot about cybersecurity and how to spot security bugs in
operating systems.
From here, I set a future plan for myself, which is to graduate from university
with a good grade, obtain the first-place award, and then obtain a MSc degree in
the field of cybersecurity from the US. Little by little, I started fulfilling my dream.
I got my BA in Physics with an outstanding award for ranking first place that year.
I also discovered a security bug in Apple's operating system, and in turn, my
nickname has been added to the list of contributors in protecting and
strengthening the system. This discovery has increased my passion in learning and
becoming a professional in cybersecurity. Also, the increasing demand of this field
throughout the world makes this choice my priority.
The government in my country has recently started to put emphasis on

cybersecurity by working on the required infrastructure to make it applicable.
Gradually, Libya will attract many educators and professionals to design,
maintain, and monitor the country’s critical infrastructure dependent on
cybersecurity.
For some time, I have been thinking of ways to financially support a master's
degree in computer science.
While I was searching for a scholarship, I came across the Fulbright scholarship
which gave me hope to finish my degree.

I believe that this opportunity will help me gain more skills and knowledge in
cybersecurity, especially when it comes to studying in the US, which is home to
most of the major technology and information security companies.
Most of the cybersecurity professionals around the world have studied and
graduated from the US, and among the most famous of them is Jeff Moss.
Also, many conferences are held annually in the US, such as: DEF CON - Blackhat.
All of these features are only available in the US and would help me acquire a rich
skill and experience that are not available anywhere else.
After receiving my MSc degree, I plan to return to my country and contribute to

the development of cybersecurity in terms of working to build a secure electronic
environment — I am confident that I will achieve many achievements that will
make my country one of the best countries in the field of cybersecurity,
infrastructure security, data protection, and confidential information.
I will also invest the knowledge and experience I gained in my educational journey
on updating and developing curricula and teaching methods in universities and
institutes. On a personal level, this experience will be a big turning point in my life
by marking the beginning of a new educational journey.
