Who We Are
Aliyeh Zeijnali
"Doubt is the eraser of dreams"
Finding a family that made me realize that I’m the unicorn, made me feel fearless when diving head-first into the unknown. I was told that working hard on a part of your dream will carry over to other aspects of your life, and I see it now!
Unintentionally, I realized that being organized in the work place is a job! I really enjoyed helping out on the GRC side of things; reporting, collecting evidence, policies, etc. After a few years working with our lovely team - we found our niche: Compliance Training! I’m beyond proud of our growth and what came of our courses. And if you don’t know - they’re based on us and our real life personalities! Maybe a little exaggerated…
Im not just an enginerd at CyberSoul SecurITy - ironically, I’ve found peace in training martial arts… my favorite right now is boxing! I think it’s safe to say that all our life goals are to profit from what we love doing, make new connections, and build a loving community. Unicorn out!

“We Work Hard With Each Other For Ourselves, & We Work Hard By Ourselves For Each Other!”
When I first started my career, I wasn't a "techie" at all. I had no fancy degrees and zero experience—literally none! But I had two powerful tools: a strong reason and an unwavering belief in myself. Armed with those, I set out on my journey and have spent over 20 years in Security and IT, taking on roles as both a technical leader and a strategist.
Why did you create CyberSoul SecurITy?
I created CyberSoul SecurITy because I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve gained over the years. My goal is to help others succeed without the burden of exorbitant education costs, providing an accessible path for young adults and others interested in cybersecurity and IT.
What would you be doing if you weren't in Security?
The easy answer is, you’d find me living on Maui, training in boxing with my wife and practicing jiu jitsu with friends. In the evenings, I’d be performing Spoken Word at a cozy restaurant, sharing my truth with an intimate crowd.

“True potential is a stone that must be carved.”
What made me want to get into cybersecurity is a great question. Money. And I also love breaking into things, and I saw that you can do that virtually by becoming a pen-tester in cybersecurity.
In the midst of this, I was asked by my sister to become a part of a starting cybersecurity company. Being an enginerd like her I said yes. I also didn’t want to be too much of a nerd, so I started boxing and lifting weights to even it out.
My dream is to become a professional nerd, make money, and become the best version of myself- both physically and mentally.
