Senior Information Cloud Security Architect

Cloud Security Architecture & Zero Trust Design:
Lead the design and implementation of Zero Trust security models within multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) to implement Zero Trust principles within the organization's cloud infrastructure. This includes securing data, network access, identities, applications, privatization of workloads and network micro-segmentation based on the principle of least privilege.
Governance Models for Security:
             a. Application Security Governance: Collaborate with Application Security Architects to design and enforce application security governance models that integrate secure software development practices, secure APIs, and application-level access controls.
            b. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Collaborate with Identity Architects to design and enforce comprehensive IAM policies as part of the Zero Trust model, ensuring least-privilege access evolving to JIT Just-In-Time based access, strong authentication mechanisms (including multi-factor authentication), password less authentication, and identity federation across cloud platforms (Entra ID, AWS IAM, GCP Identity).
           c. Data Governance: Collaborate with Data Architects to develop and enforce governance models that protect sensitive and critical data within cloud environments

Cloud Security Risk Management:
Identify and mitigate security risks associated with cloud deployments and continuously improve security posture in line with Zero Trust principles.
Cloud Security Posture Management:
Regulate policy enforcement, monitor compliance, and implement remediation strategies based on Prisma Cloud findings to improve cloud security posture. Configure and manage Prisma Cloud policies to monitor and identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats in cloud infrastructure, applications, and services.
Security Automation & Orchestration: Utilize automation tools to integrate security controls into cloud workflows as part of Dev-Sec-Ops model. Automate deployment of security policies and governance models using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools ensuring security consistency across cloud resources
Continuous Improvement: Stay up to date with the latest cloud security threats, trends, and technologies.
