Security & Identity Architect @Microsoft

As a Security & Identity architect,I engage with some of the world\'s largest Enterprise and Public Sector customers across EMEA to deliver unique value through expertise in Microsoft Security and Identity solutions and capablities. Collaborating with customers onsite - and increasingly, remotely - I work with customer engineers to provide deep technical insight during proactive activities such as risk assessments, educational workshops and design whiteboard sessions or in a reactive capacity, such as restoring service from an outage caused by a global cyber attack. During longer-term engagements, I support customers by removing blockers to adoption and consumption through activities such as capability assessment of new and preview features and functionality, architectural roadmap development, pilot deployments and enterprise-wide rollouts.The key subject areas of expertise I support include- Privileged Access - Secure Operations - Credential Theft Mitigation - Authentication and Authorisation (NTLM, Kerberos, OAuth2/OIDC)- Active Directory & Azure Active Directory - Privileged Identity Management - Conditional Access - Multi-Factor Authentication - Azure Sentinel - Azure Security Center
