Identifly is an Identity and Access Management focussed consulting firm, specialising in Operational Technology (OT) environments. My role here is a broad spanning one encompassing everything from strategic advice to clients and development of roadmaps, through to technical implementation and deployment of systems and services. Major Achievements:- Delivery of an Azure AD authentication review and remediation programme for a client. This work reviewed the clients existing implementation against Microsoft best practice and the ACSC ISM to provide recommendations for remediation. Stage two of this work was the implementation of the recommendations. - Development of a passwordless authentication strategy. This strategy provided a practical programme of work that would allow them to leverage their existing technology stack to provide users with a passwordless authentication experience and limit the reliance of passwords as an authentication factor.- Development of a programme of work for a client to improve the organisations compliance against the Secure Controls Framework. This framework covers controls from NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and the ACSC ISM. This work was incepted as a maturity assessment against the SCF and naturally built into the identification of high-value projects for the IAM team. - Development and deployment of a Roles Framework for the uptake of RBAC for a large mining company. This Framework provided a pragmatic, flexible, and iterative approach to roles deployment that allowed the organisation to gain long-needed momentum on their RBAC deployment. - Implementation of CyberArk as the Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform for multiple clients. This included a risk-based approach for securing the highest risk credentials first; integration with the organisations IGA capability to provide automated access management and auditable access reviews; technical implementation of the CyberArk platform; and change management of the teams involved.

Managing the IAM team at Flinders I was responsible for the delivery of several major projects:- Implementation of Sailpoint as an IGA solution, allowing the implementation of full RBAC and governance of access. - Rollout of MFA to over 40,000 student users, uplifitng the security posture of the university. This project was a fantastic collaboration between the IAM team and the change team, resulting in very little impact to students and positive feedback. - Creation of integration from identity systems to physical access systems providing the basis for automated physical acccess provisioning.

Working within the broader identity and information security team at Flinders, I was brought on board to augment the technical expertise in already in the team. Working heavily with Okta, AD, and Splunk, and using python for scripting and API interaction this role was a technically focussed role that covered all aspects of IAM ad Flinders.Key projects while in this role were:- Inversion of Ad-Okta provisioning pathways leading to near-realtime provisioning of user accounts.- Rollout of MFA to all staff ~5,000 users, while limiting impact to students. - Development of data checking tools to compare data across AD, Okta, and primary sources to improve pre and post change testing and allow increased data hygiene.While in this role I was part of a the winning SA Team in Boss of the SOC 2019 in Adelaide, No.1 Team in South Australia, No.1 University in Australia/New Zealand, 11th overall across Australia/New Zealand.

Working tightly with the development teams, my role has had a strong focus on implementation, and development, of the in house productivity software within WTG. This has required high-level SQL skills, as well as data visualisation and feedback mechanisms for the teams to identify key metrics in the software’s usage. I have spent the last 12 months as the key architect on an implementation rollout that was completed in late September. This rollout dramatically altered how team’s scheduled and executed their work; and involved planning, and creating, the workflow for all development teams in the company. This resulted in greater control of the flow of work for all development teams, which the company could then leverage to achieve benefits such as large reduction in defect backlog. More recently, I have been working with the development team in a product role to produce designs for feature development.
