CLOUD ADOPTION

Amazon VPC
I have designed and implemented VPCs to create isolated network environments for different applications, controlling IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateway

AWS Network Firewall
I have configured Network Firewall rules to filter traffic at the VPC perimeter, protecting resources from unauthorized access and threats

Application Protocols
(REST, GraphQL, gRPC) while leveraging API Gateways
and 3rd party APIs

Additional Information

Proficient in securing and optimizing AWS and Azure cloud environments through robust authentication (API keys, OAuth 2.0, IAM roles)

Amazon Route 53
I have utilized Route 53 for DNS management, routing traffic to appropriate resources and connecting VPCs with on-premises networks

Azure Event Hub
Deployment of large-scale event logging networks and event/metric logging management, and the many areas of data collection through to ingestion, use case development, threat hunting, and data sources

Azure Monitor
I have integrated Azure Monitor to collect and analyze network telemetry data, providing insights into network health and performance.

Azure Network Watcher
I have used Network Watcher to monitor network performance, diagnose connectivity issues, and analyze traffic flow patterns.

Azure Firewall
I have deployed and managed Azure Firewall to protect Azure resources from unwanted traffic, ensuring network security.

Azure Virtual Network
I have experience in creating and managing virtual networks within Azure, connecting on-premises networks, and establishing isolated network environments.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Evaluated and integrated cloud-based security solutions like Zscaler and Netskope to provide secure access to applications for a distributed workforce. Optimized network performance and security for remote users by leveraging SASE architecture.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Deployed and managed XDR solutions (e.g., Microsoft 365 Defender, Trend Micro Vision One) to correlate security data from endpoints, network devices, and cloud services. Utilized XDR capabilities to improve threat detection, accelerate incident response, and reduce dwell time.

Advanced Threat Hunting
Proactively investigated potential threats using threat intelligence platforms and security information and event management (SIEM) tools. Developed and executed threat hunting hypotheses to uncover hidden adversaries and malicious activities.

AI-Powered Cybersecurity
Leveraged AI-powered security tools for threat intelligence, vulnerability scanning, and automated incident response. Implemented user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) to detect anomalous activity and insider threats.

Zero Trust Security
Implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) and granular access control policies using IAM solutions in AWS and Azure. Designed and deployed micro-segmentation strategies to limit the blast radius of potential security breaches. Championed the principle of least privilege, ensuring users and applications only have access to the resources they absolutely need.

Cybersecurity Mesh
Designed and implemented security policies for distributed environments, including cloud and IoT, using a decentralized approach. Leveraged cybersecurity mesh architecture to enhance security posture and adapt to the dynamic nature of modern IT infrastructure.

Confidential Computing
Explored and evaluated confidential computing technologies (e.g., Azure Confidential Computing, AWS Nitro Enclaves) to protect sensitive data in use. Researched the application of confidential computing for privacy-preserving data analytics and machine learning.

Shift-Left Security
Integrated security testing and code analysis tools into the CI/CD pipeline to identify vulnerabilities early in the development process. Collaborated with development teams to promote secure coding practices and build security into applications from the ground up.

Quantum-Resistant Cryptography
Stayed abreast of the latest developments in quantum-resistant cryptography and its potential impact on existing security protocols Researched and evaluated post-quantum cryptography algorithms and their applicability to secure future systems.

Secure-by-Design
Advocated for and implemented secure-by-design principles throughout the software development lifecycle. Promoted a security-first mindset within development teams to ensure that security is embedded in every stage of the product lifecycle.
