About Akli

Passionate about cybersecurity and cloud environments, I have specialized in the Microsoft ecosystem, with expertise in solutions such as Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Purview, and Entra ID.

With several years of experience, I support organizations in the implementation, hardening, and supervision of their cloud and hybrid environments. I work on various topics such as identity management (IAM), endpoint security (EDR, MDM), data protection, and threat detection.

Although focused on Microsoft, I know how to adapt to heterogeneous contexts: I have worked on solutions like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Splunk, which allows me to quickly integrate client environments, regardless of their technological stack.

My approach is both technical and human: I simplify cyber challenges, raise awareness among teams, facilitate tool adoption, and ensure security is integrated into a sustainable and pragmatic approach.

Results-oriented, I am fully committed to helping organizations effectively strengthen their security posture, while taking into account their operational imperatives.

Technical Expertise:

• Cybersecurity: IAM, SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk), EDR (MDE, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), MDO, hardening, automation (PowerShell, Logic Apps)
• Azure Cloud: Migration, evaluation & optimization of architectures, IaaS/IaC (ARM, Bicep), license management, cost reduction
• Governance & Compliance: Microsoft Purview, DLP, classification, sensitive data protection
• Support & Change Management: training, documentation, skills transfer, solution adoption.
