Vinjamuri Giriprasad

I’m an IT & Cloud Security professional with 5.5 years of experience, including 2.6+ years specializing in cloud security and vulnerability management. I focus on turning security signals into action—through proactive monitoring, remediation, and compliance-driven workflows.

In my current role as an Azure Administrator – Security & Cloud Operations, I manage Azure Security Alerts and ensure timely threat detection and resolution. I administer Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel, handling security policies, incident response, and log analysis.

I also oversee 11 Virtual Machines, performing regular security patching, troubleshooting, and security checks to maintain organizational standards. I build automation and monitoring to streamline administrative work, and I coordinate Agile sprints—supporting sprint planning, backlog grooming, and prioritization across security alerts, patching, and VM administration tasks.

Previously, as a Cybersecurity Analyst – Vulnerability Management (Qualys/iris), I conducted regular vulnerability scans using Qualys and IRIS and managed end-to-end remediation with Qualys VMDR. I configured VMDR dashboards for continuous monitoring and compliance reporting, used MS SQL Server for automated reporting, and leveraged ServiceNow ITSM for incident and change management; before that, I worked as an Associate Engineer in CitiBank’s investment banking/trading middle-office domain.
