On-Prem & Cloud Security Hardening: Enforce strict identity governance across hybrid environments by aligning on-premises Active Directory (AD) with Microsoft Entra ID . Manage secrets across environments and implement network security boundaries that satisfy Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) regulations.
Automation & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Standardize deployment processes across both cloud and local infrastructure using Terraform or Azure Bicep , integrating them into CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps to support unified DataOps workflows.
Hybrid Disaster Recovery & Monitoring: Architect and test robust Backup and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategies that guarantee zero data loss across both local storage arrays and Azure Data Lakes, maintaining continuous visibility through unified monitoring tools.
