@leonardomurarotodefr
Senior security support and cybersecurity consultant delivering secure operations, incident response, and detection engineering across Microsoft ecosystems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Support Engineer and cybersecurity leader focused on security & compliance, incident response, and secure deployment across Microsoft Exchange Server, Exchange Online, and Microsoft 365. In my current role, I deliver enterprise-level technical support and security engineering for Premier customers, owning complex high-severity incident resolution with root cause analysis, preventive actions, and formal post-incident reviews.
I also founded and operated Technology HXD Consulting, delivering long-term security consulting for international clients. My work has included SOC maturity improvements, KPIs, detection engineering, automation playbooks, and security monitoring aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework—using Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR alongside CrowdStrike Falcon and Azure security services.
Earlier, I led the LATAM Cyber Defense Center at DXC Technology, where I improved SOC responsiveness by 40% through workbooks and dashboards, and increased operational efficiency by 35% with API-based automation. Before that, at EBANX, I revamped incident response standards around NIST SP 800-61 and improved vulnerability resolution time by 30%, scanning accuracy by 25%, and reduced false positives by 20% through XDR tuning.
