Azure Security
Secure-by-default architectures for Microsoft Azure. Zero-trust identity, workload protection, attack-surface remediation, and continuous compliance — without slowing your teams down.
I help organizations reduce risk on Azure through identity-first architectures, least-privilege access, hardened networks, and continuous threat detection — embedded into how your teams build, deploy, and operate.
What I help with
Find out what’s actually exposed — before someone else does
A targeted assessment against Well-Architected security, CIS, and Defender for Cloud — with a prioritized remediation plan you can execute.
Get your PaaS off the public internet without breaking developers
Private Endpoints, Private Link, and VNet integration for App Service, Functions, SQL, Storage, and Key Vault — with a workflow that still lets your team ship.
Stop treating passwords and standing admin as security
Entra ID Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, phishing-resistant MFA, and time-bound elevation — so no human has permanent production access.
Get zero secrets out of code and pipelines
Managed identities for every app, Key Vault for the secrets that must exist, and rotation you can prove — no more credentials in config files or variable groups.
Cut Defender and Sentinel alert noise down to real signal
Coverage tuning, analytic-rule engineering, and incident playbooks so your team investigates the alerts that matter — and stops ignoring the ones that don’t.
Make security part of CI/CD instead of a blocker at the end
Azure Policy, IaC guardrails, secret scanning, container image scanning, and SAST wired into your pipelines — catching problems at PR time, not at go-live.
Make AI respect who’s asking the question
Permission-aware retrieval that honors Entra ID and RBAC on every LLM query, with audit trails and human-approval gates for high-privilege actions.
Extend Azure security to what’s still on-prem or in AWS
Azure Arc to bring on-prem and multi-cloud servers under one Defender for Cloud + Azure Policy plane — without ripping and replacing.
Some Azure Security things I work with
Identity & access: Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), role-based access control and least privilege, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, managed identities, service principals, app registrations, delegated and application permissions, API scopes, app roles, admin consent.
Secrets, network & edge: Azure Key Vault and secrets management, network security groups and service tags, Private Endpoints, Private Link and service endpoints, Azure Firewall, Web Application Firewall.
Threat protection & monitoring: Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Defender workload-protection plans, Microsoft Defender for Storage, Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM/SOAR), security monitoring and threat detection, secure-score and cloud security posture management.
Governance & DevSecOps: DevSecOps and security-integrated CI/CD, infrastructure security through policy and IaC, Azure Policy and enterprise guardrails, public-exposure and attack-surface remediation, RDP/SSH/WinRM exposure analysis, Azure Bastion, just-in-time access.
Modern concerns: zero-trust architecture principles, hybrid-cloud security with Azure Arc, permission-aware AI and data access, audit trails and human approval controls, security architecture and risk remediation.

How I work
Assess
I start with a targeted assessment against Azure Well-Architected security, CIS, and your regulatory baseline.
Remediate
I prioritize the fixes that reduce the most risk fastest — and implement them with you.
Operate
I help you build the muscle to keep security posture strong: playbooks, alerts, dashboards, and drills.
Harden your Azure environment.
Start with a security assessment and a clear remediation plan.
