Sample Response: Associate

As an associate at CyberSecure, I've worked extensively with Azure security services to manage and mitigate security threats for our clients. A memorable project involved mitigating a cybersecurity threat for a client that utilizes Azure for its cloud services. We utilized Azure Security Center to detect the initial breach, and its comprehensive dashboards helped us understand the source and extent of the threat.

Further, we used Azure's advanced threat protection features such as Just-In-Time VM access and Adaptive Application Controls to minimize the impact and potential for future breaches. We integrated Azure Sentinel into the incident response plan for its powerful automation capabilities. As an SIEM solution, Azure Sentinel provided us the capability to view data across the entire digital estate, engage in proactive threat hunting, and automate security responses.

By leveraging Azure services, we were able to successfully limit the damage of the breach, identify and eliminate the security weakness, ensuring the rapid, risk-informed incident response.
