Managed and monitored cloud workloads using Microsoft Defender XDR and Azure Security tools, analyzing threat data to detect and respond to incidents, mitigating risks in real time. Used Azure Intune to enforce compliance baselines, monitor device security posture, and remediate non-compliant devices through automated policies. Leveraged Azure Entra ID to strengthen identity and access management by detecting suspicious authentication patterns, monitoring privileged accounts, and implementing continuous identity protection. Built a Cloud Security baseline for a simulated enterprise by applying encryption (at rest & in transit), IAM least privilege, centralized logging/monitoring, and secure configurations aligned with industry standards. Performed proactive Threat Intelligence analysis by researching emerging TTPs, producing CTI briefs, and recommending defensive actions to reduce exposure against advanced threat actors. Conducted risk assessments and compliance reviews aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF, translating technical risks into actionable business insights. Authored and implemented cybersecurity policies including Identity & Access Management, Acceptable Use, Password, and Third-Party Vendor policies to strengthen governance and regulatory alignment. Collaborated with vulnerability management teams to assess cloud security gaps, apply patches/workarounds, and track remediation progress for continuous improvement. Supported the incident response lifecycle by identifying, containing, and documenting simulated security incidents, ensuring evidence preservation and rapid recovery. Partnered with cross-functional teams to align cloud security, governance, and threat intelligence initiatives with business objectives, enhancing organizational resilience.
