CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading Cloud Security Posture Management at CIBC across Azure and connected AWS environments, using Microsoft Defender for Cloud to prioritize remediation through exposure management and attack-path analysis.
Previously, I led endpoint protection initiatives at RBC and Enbridge across more than 100,000 and 50,000 endpoints respectively. I've deployed and tuned CrowdStrike Falcon, Lookout, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Intune, SCCM, ASR rules, and vulnerability-management workflows while partnering with infrastructure, compliance, and security operations teams.
My work spans CNAPP/CSPM implementation, detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, endpoint hardening, and risk governance. I bring 7+ years of hands-on experience improving security posture in highly regulated environments, backed by Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, SC-200, CCSP, and SSCP certifications.
