About Anthony H.

I\'m a lead Microsoft security architect and senior consultant with over two decades of hands-on experience helping federal agencies, Fortune 500 companies and regulated industries modernize endpoint security and embrace Zero Trust and AI-ready architectures. In my current role at Mutual of Omaha, I bridge endpoint telemetry, SQL-backed analytics and security operations, unifying signals from SysTrack, ServiceNow, Intune, Entra, Defender XDR and Sentinel into prioritized remediation roadmaps that strengthen Copilot security controls and accelerate response times.My career began in on-prem server and endpoint engineering and has evolved through large-scale SCCM/SCCM-to-Intune migrations, cloud attach and co-management programs, and multi-tenant GCC High deployments. I\'ve led six-person delivery pods supporting more than 50 tenants and 75K endpoints for Olive + Goose, architected secure remote-work programs for 50+ clients at BluetechGreen MSP, and stewarded federal endpoint estates exceeding 500K devices at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.Key achievements include- Delivering 15+ ConfigMgr/GPO-to-Intune transformation programs that cut provisioning time by 90%, reduced incident-response time by 65% and achieved 98-100% patch and encryption compliance- Building reusable IP (PowerShell/Graph automation, PSAppDeployToolkit packages, Conditional Access templates, Intune baselines and Sentinel workbooks) that became standards across consulting engagements- Unlocking data-driven remediation at Mutual of Omaha by correlating DEX scores, ticket history, hardware health, compliance drift and risky-device signals via Power BI dashboards, exposing failure patterns earlier and guiding policy changes- Adopting GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Security Copilot, local RAG workflows and Claude Code validation harnesses to accelerate scripting, KQL analysis and change verification while keeping human review in the loop.I\'m passionate about AI-assisted security operations, Zero Trust identity & access, data governance and building repeatable frameworks that scale across commercial and regulated tenants. I enjoy mentoring teams, shaping statements of work and turning complex requirements into clear roadmaps. I\'m always open to connecting with peers and organizations seeking to modernize their Microsoft security posture or explore emerging AI governance.Feel free to reach out if you\'d like to discuss how to secure your environment, prepare for Copilot or accelerate your cloud and endpoint transformation.

Experience

1. Digital Experience Consultant

   Mutual of Omaha

   Aug 2025 — Present · US

   Unified endpoint telemetry and security signals: Lead architecture reviews with endpoint, service-desk, security and data stakeholders to integrate SysTrack, ServiceNow, Intune, Entra, Defender XDR and Sentinel data into a prioritized remediation roadmap. Benchmarked high-trust workloads against GCC High-style guardrails.• Data-driven remediation: Built PowerShell, KQL, SQL and Power BI data paths that correlate DEX scores, ticket history, hardware health, compliance drift, risky-device signals and escalation trends. This exposed recurring failure patterns earlier and improved engineering and SecOps triage quality.• Policy & process improvements: Translated diagnostic findings into policy changes, remediation playbooks, hardware-refresh targeting and Copilot-security recommendations—including Purview labeling, DLP guardrails and least-privilege access to SQL-backed reporting data.• AI-assisted analysis: Used Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Security Copilot and agent-assisted analysis patterns to compress root-cause investigations. 2025–2026 initiatives include Claude Code-backed validation harnesses for PowerShell and KQL changes before production handoff.
