Your role in the team

  • Securing Azure and AWS: You analyze existing cloud environments, identify security risks, and implement appropriate measures for identities, permissions, networks, workloads, and data.
  • Protect identities and privileged access: You develop auditable permission concepts and implement them, for example, with Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, as well as AWS IAM and roles.
  • Implementing Zero Trust in practice: You combine identity and device state verification with the minimal necessary permissions and clearly defined access rules.
  • Securing devices with Microsoft Intune: You configure security and compliance policies, analyze errors, and implement changes in a controlled manner.
  • Automate with PowerShell: You develop maintainable scripts for audits, configurations, and recurring tasks — with secure authentication, error handling, and traceable logging.
  • Handle security findings: You assess misconfigurations and anomalies, prioritize actions, and verify their effectiveness.
  • Collaborating with clients and team: You explain technical decisions clearly, coordinate changes, and create documentation that others can reliably build upon.
