Sample Response: Associate

I am a Cloud Infrastructure Associate with approximately three years of experience in leveraging Microsoft Azure for creating and managing solutions. A salient instance where I harness Azure Security Center occurred during a data migration project for a healthcare client.

To ensure compliance with HIPAA standards, we used Azure Security Center for unified infrastructure protection. Through its Continuous Export feature, we created alerts and exported them to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, in this case, Azure Sentinel. The continuous monitoring and proactive security recommendations provided by Azure Security Center ensured top-notch endpoint protection, minimizing potential security threats and ensuring infrastructural integrity. As a result, we successfully migrated patient data while maintaining stringent security standards and compliance with HIPAA.
