Identity & Se​c​urity

Secure by Design, Not as an Afterthought

Strong security starts with a strong identity foundation. I design systems that enforce trust at every layer — from login, authentication, APIs, and data protection to DevSecOps governance and continuous vulnerability monitoring.

Standardized Identity & Access Management

A reliable IAM layer is the core of every secure system. I enforce identity as the first line of defense:  secure, consistent, and scalable across applications.

  • Standards-based authentication (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML)
  • Centralized identity providers (Keycloak, Entra ID, AWS Cognito)
  • MFA, conditional access & session policies
  • SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle
  • Zero-trust principles for backend communication
  • Token-based authentication (JWT / opaque tokens)
  • API gateway enforcement (rate limit, IP allowlist, WAF)
  • Service-to-service authentication (mTLS / client credentials

Secure API & Application Authentication

Only trusted users and services can access your system. Every API call is authenticated, validated, and monitored — no blind trust between components.

Data Protection & Network Segregation

Your data stays private. Always. Data is protected not just by encryption, but by architecture that minimizes exposure.

  • Encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
  • Secrets management with vaults (KMS, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault)
  • Private networks, isolated subnets, and firewall policies
  • Identity-based access to databases and storage
  • Least privilege for applications & users

Protection againts:

  • Injection
  • Broken authentication
  • Sensitive data exposure
  • Security misconfiguration
  • Broken access control
  • Server-side request forgery (SSRF)
  • …and more

OWASP Top-10 & Industry Best Practices

All architectures follow the OWASP Top-10 framework, referencing the latest standard from OWASP.

Security Quality Assurance Techniques

Security testing is not a one-time activity. It’s continuous throughout the system lifecycle.

Static Analysis

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
  • Static Component/Dependency Analysis (SCA)
  • Detect outdated libraries, dangerous functions, unpatched CVEs

Dynamic Analysis

  • Vulnerability scanning
  • API fuzz testing
  • Runtime behavioral analysis

Penetration Testing

  • White-box testing
  • Grey-box testing
  • Black-box testing
