This role will play a key part in assessing, designing, and implementing cloud security solutions — with a primary emphasis on Microsoft Defender for Cloud and related Azure security services.

The successful candidate will define frameworks, develop security roadmaps, and provide actionable recommendations to enhance Azure’s overall security posture. Collaboration with enterprise architects, security operations, and IT stakeholders will be central to ensuring cohesive and sustainable security improvements.

  • Provide recommendations for enhancing Microsoft Sentinel integration and utilization.
  • Support secure workload expansion and collaboration between operations and security teams.
  • Assess and improve cloud networking security (DNS, NSGs, firewalls, ExpressRoute) and recommend private endpoint adoption.
  • Contribute to Landing Zone assessments to enhance scalability, governance, and alignment with security best practices.
  • Develop a strategic roadmap to strengthen Azure security configurations and maintain compliance with standards (ISO, NIST, CIS).
  • Prepare architecture recommendations, documentation, and implementation guidelines for cloud security solutions.
  • Collaborate with SOC and DevOps teams to integrate security into development and monitoring workflows.
  • Primary Deliverables

  • Defender for Cloud guidelines and deployment criteria.
  • Strategic security roadmap for Azure workloads.
  • Architecture recommendations and documentation supporting improved governance and compliance.
  • Collaboration across architecture, operations, and security teams is essential for success in this engagement.
  • Qualifications

  • Proven expertise configuring, deploying, and managing Microsoft Defender for Cloud across hybrid environments.
  • Strong understanding of Azure security controls, including RBAC, policies, secure workload design, and regulatory compliance alignment.
  • Experience with security operations and monitoring, including incident response and SIEM integration (e.g., Sentinel).
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to stakeholders and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Nice to have

  • Experience with DevSecOps practices, integrating security through CI / CD using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • Familiarity with Azure networking fundamentals, private endpoints, and zero-trust architectures.
  • Experience with Landing Zone design, subscription strategy, and governance frameworks.
  • Knowledge of automation tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates for security deployment.
  • Education and Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical discipline.
  • Deep knowledge of Azure Security Center, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft Sentinel.
