About Emmanuel Addai

Security Engineer with about 8+ experience in Cloud Security, Identity & Access Management (IAM), AI/ML security, Offensive Security, and DevSecOps automation. Skilled in designing zero‑trust architectures, enforcing least‑privilege IAM, securing Azure/AWS/GCP, and integrating SAST/DAST/SCA into CI/CD pipelines. Experienced in threat modeling, penetration testing, vulnerability management, container security, and risk‑driven security engineering across hybrid enterprise environments. Advanced proficiency with the Microsoft Defender 365 suite—Defender for Cloud, Endpoint, Identity, Cloud Apps, and Sentinel—for threat detection, incident response, posture management, and automated remediation. Strong background in Microsoft Purview and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) for data governance, DLP, insider risk, regulatory alignment, combined with hands‑on AI‑driven detection engineering, anomaly detection, and identity protection to enhance enterprise security operations. I combine engineering rigor with adversarial insight to reduce attack surface, strengthen identity protection, and deliver scalable, resilient security outcomes. I am all about helping organizations achieve regulatory alignment and strengthen enterprise‑wide data governance.
