Anand Prabhat — DevOps Engineer

I am a Cloud Security Engineer having experience in designing, implementing, and managing secure cloud environments across multi-cloud platforms, including Azure, AWS, and OCI. My expertise includes Identity and Access Management (IAM), Web Application Firewalls (WAF), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Zero Trust architecture, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). At Autodesk, I design and implement cloud security standards for Azure and GCP services, ensuring security controls are scalable, enforceable, and aligned with enterprise requirements. I specialize in translating security requirements into policy-driven controls using Azure Policy and policy-as-code frameworks, enabling automated governance and compliance enforcement. I perform cloud security architecture reviews and secure CI/CD pipeline assessments, identifying risks and defining remediation strategies to support secure application deployment and cloud migration. I have developed and implemented end-to-end security strategies for onboarding GCP within the organization, including defining security baselines. My work includes building automated solutions to identify and remediate non-compliant cloud resources, particularly virtual machines, improving overall cloud security posture. I have also designed and implemented EDR governance frameworks to enhance endpoint visibility, threat detection, and response capabilities across enterprise environments. In addition, I have experience securing containerized workloads by implementing policy-as-code controls to restrict network communication within Kubernetes environments, aligning with Zero Trust. I also bring experience in security solution evaluation, including conducting proof-of-concepts, product demonstrations, and technical assessments to identify best-fit security technologies. I have implemented enterprise security solutions with a strong focus on identity governance, access control, and regulatory compliance.
