• Security data and telemetry: designing and implementing cost-effective approaches for collecting, routing, storing and accessing security data while balancing visibility, retention and cost.

• Microsoft security technologies: particularly Defender, Sentinel and the wider Azure security ecosystem.

• Cloud security architecture and advisory: helping customers design and implement secure cloud environments that follow industry best practices and fit their business needs.
