Secure Hybrid Cloud Migration Migrated enterprise infrastructure into a hybrid cloud model using Azure AD, RBAC, VPN, Zero Trust segmentation, and cloud-native SIEM integration. Outcome: 60% improvement in service availability and enhanced SOC visibility. 2. Infrastructure Modernization & Network Hardening Redesigned legacy network architecture with secure VLANs, firewall segmentation, high-availability core, NAC, SIEM, and automated configuration (Ansible). Outcome: Reduced attack surface by 45% and improved performance by 40%. 3. Cybersecurity Framework & SOC Implementation Implemented ISO-27001-aligned policies, performed risk assessments, built SOC detection logic mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and executed red-team/purple-team cycles. 4. Smart & Secure Building Infrastructure (IoT-Ready) Designed secure IoT-based building systems including segmented networks, encrypted IP surveillance, identity-secured automation, and AI-based anomaly detection. 5. Cloud-Native Monitoring & SOC Automation Developed SIEM/SOAR pipelines (ELK + Wazuh, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) with automated response flows for phishing, brute force, and beaconing. Outcome: 30% reduction in analyst workload.
