Vishal Mahajan
@vishalmahajan2
IAM and cybersecurity engineer specializing in Okta administration, Zero Trust identity, and automated security provisioning.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned Cybersecurity & IAM Engineer with 4 years of hands-on expertise in Okta Administration, Active Directory, and Azure AD / Entra ID. I bring Zero Trust-aligned identity architecture skills, enforcing MFA & SSO policies with a strong focus on least privilege.
In my current role at Accenture, I administer Azure AD / Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory, managing Conditional Access policies and hybrid identity sync (AD Connect). I also enforce Just-In-Time (JIT) access and audit privileged roles, reducing over-privileged access by 40% while ensuring security compliance across environments.
At LTIMindtree, I implemented Okta Org2Org integration and AD agent integration for seamless identity federation across multiple tenants. I configured OIDC and SAML integrations, managed SCIM provisioning, authorization servers, and MFA factor enrollment, while troubleshooting SSO issues like iFrame/CORS errors and proxy conflicts.
I’m passionate about building reliable, secure identity systems and improving efficiency through automation. I use Python and PowerShell to streamline onboarding, access reviews, and reporting—cutting manual work by 60%—and I also lead vulnerability monitoring and remediation using Qualys QVM and tools like CrowdStrike.
