Kamel intervened with us for the second time on the deployment of Azure Sentinel and its integration within our Azure Landing Zone. He was a true accelerator for the success of the project, thanks in particular to his expertise in Sentinel, especially in structuring and integrating Sentinel into a complex ALZ environment. He also enabled us to significantly optimize log collection and associated costs, while ensuring a level of coverage adapted to our needs. Beyond the Sentinel scope, he also contributed to improving our DevOps pipeline for security tools, bringing a structured and industrialization-oriented approach. His positioning, both deeply rooted in cybersecurity and with a strong architectural dimension, allows him to effectively address both technical and strategic challenges. A key contribution in our demanding environment.
