Cybersecurity guides — FAQ
Common questions about our cybersecurity PDFs
Who is Rishav Bhardwaj and what is Cyber Rishav?▼
Rishav Bhardwaj is a cybersecurity practitioner (CISSP, Security+, CEH) who trains SOC analysts and builds blue-team programs. Cyber Rishav (cyberrishav) is his official library of cybersecurity PDF guides — roadmap, phishing, malware, interviews, SIEM, and incident response — with instant download after purchase.
Can I learn cybersecurity, phishing analysis, or malware analysis from these guides?▼
Yes. Each PDF is written for learners — e.g. how to learn cybersecurity from zero (roadmap), how to analyze phishing emails (headers, BEC, AiTM), and what to do first in malware analysis (static → dynamic → IOCs). They are structured courses in PDF form, not vague blog posts.
What cybersecurity topics do Cyber Rishav guides cover?▼
Guides span the full blue-team arc: networking fundamentals, phishing and email security, malware analysis, SIEM and EDR, incident response playbooks, detection engineering, GRC, resumes, and SOC interviews. The flagship Cyber Roadmap PDF covers 17 chapters from zero to your first cybersecurity job.
Is this for complete beginners in cybersecurity?▼
Yes. The Cyber Roadmap starts with networking and how the internet works, then builds through attacks, defensive tools, forensics, certifications, and landing your first role. Other guides go deeper on one topic when you are ready.
How is this different from free cybersecurity roadmaps online?▼
Free lists dump links. These are practitioner-written PDFs with sequenced chapters, plain language, and job-ready depth — written by Rishav Bhardwaj, who trains SOC analysts and hires security professionals, not recycled cert marketing.
Is this offensive or defensive cybersecurity?▼
Primarily blue team — SOC, incident response, GRC, cloud defence, and detection engineering. You will understand how attackers think, but the focus is defending enterprises and building a defender career.
What format are the guides? Can I read them on mobile?▼
Instant PDF download after payment. No subscription or login wall. India: ₹ prices and INR checkout (UPI, cards, netbanking). Outside India: USD list price on the site; on the Cashfree payment page please select PayPal under International Wallet.
What if I am not satisfied with a guide?▼
7-day full refund on PDF guides, no questions asked. Email rishavbhardwaj26@gmail.com and you will get your money back within 24 hours.
