Sukant Kumar — Associate Partner
Associate Director – Cloud Infrastructure, Identity & Security CISM-Certified With over two decades of experience, I specialize in designing and operationalizing secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworks across enterprise-scale environments. My expertise spans Entra ID (Azure AD), Active Directory, and M365, driving adoption of Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), and Zero Trust principles to safeguard digital assets and ensure global regulatory compliance. As Associate Director, I lead cross-functional initiatives that strengthen infrastructure resilience across hybrid ecosystems—cloud platforms, data centers, and enterprise identity services. Key Highlights: - Spearheaded cloud migration programs and modernization of legacy identity platforms. - Directed Security Operations Center (SOC) and Vulnerability Management Systems (VMS), ensuring proactive threat detection and remediation. - Led compliance audits aligned with ISO, NIST, GDPR, and other regulatory frameworks. - Implemented ITIL-based service delivery models with measurable XLAs to elevate customer experience and transparency. - Managed vendor ecosystems and third-party integrations to optimize IAM scalability, cost efficiency, and resilience. Beyond identity, I oversee enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies, SOC operations, and vulnerability management programs to safeguard critical assets and maintain uninterrupted service availability. Through collaborative leadership and a focus on continuous improvement, I deliver secure, scalable, and high-performing infrastructure solutions that enable business growth, enhance user trust, and advance organizational security posture.
