I facilitated in the design, implementation, and maintenance of robust security measures within FirstBank's network and system infrastructure.Key Contributions includeSuccessfully led the design and implementation of Microsoft AppLocker across the enterprise system infrastructure of over 14,000 workstations and 3,000 servers across Sub-Saharan Africa. This saved the bank over $150,000 of implementation costs, reduced the risk of running unauthorized/malicious applications by 80%, and gave the bank $1,000,000 worth of return on security investment.Orchestrated the enterprise-wide deployment of Microsoft BitLocker encryption technology, safeguarding sensitive data across all endpoints and devices. This involved developing and executing a comprehensive rollout strategy, ensuring consistent implementation and compliance with the bank's policies and regulatory requirements which in turn decreased the bank's risk exposure from potential data theft or unauthorized access to sensitive information stored on devices by 90%.Led in the design and successful implementation of FirstBank Microsoft Azure Cloud Adoption Framework as an enterprise strategic initiative to lay the foundation for a successful cloud migration or adoption journey for the bank. This initiative set the stage for agility, security, scalability, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness in leveraging Azure cloud services to drive business outcomes and digital transformation initiatives.
