Create an illustration featuring a mysterious figure wearing a hood, sitting in front of a glowing laptop. The figure's face is partially obscured in shadow, creating an aura of intrigue. 

Replace the existing background elements with abstract representations of digital security symbols, such as:

1. An open padlock to symbolize access.
2. A simplified shield icon for protection.
3. Abstract lines of code flowing in the background.
4. A generic bug icon representing software issues.

Use a dark blue gradient for the background, and make the laptop's screen emit a bright light. The figure can be depicted with focused eyes, enhancing the theme of digital exploration or hacking without direct brand references.
