Getting Started with Microsoft Graph and PowerShell
Can you briefly discuss a project you are most proud of?
Hard choices in information security always start as easy choices. It was my pleasure and honor to guide the second biggest city in my home country in embracing Identity and Access Management (IAM) in terms of knowledge, setting up a new department, laying out the processes and implementing the technology.
Ever since I saw Jurassic Park in movie theaters, the movie became one of my all-time favourites.
Recently, when discussing Purview Insider Risk Management, the movie proves timeless as an example of what damage a rogue admin can cause.
What is the best career or life advice you have received to date?
Especially in this age of rapid advancements in technology, don’t expect from yourself to be able to keep up with all of it. Pick a specialization or choose a niche and excel in that. Work together with other people to fill in the rest.
Have you any tips on receiving a MVP status?
Give without expecting in return.
