about me

---

Hi, I’m Tom Rutt — a cybersecurity analyst with hands-on expertise in Azure Cloud Security, Identity and Access Management, Co-Pilot Security, and Enterprise Security operations. I focus on uncovering threats, investigating incidents, and strengthening organizational resilience across cloud and hybrid environments.

Currently, as a Cyber Security Operations Analyst, I respond to incidents, triage alerts, and investigate suspicious activity across complex enterprise systems. My experience spans Security Operations, Azure and Entra ID security, Co-Pilot and AI Security, PAM, App Control, and data-driven analysis, giving me a strong balance of technical depth and strategic insight.

Key projects include:

• Privileged Access Management (PAM) – providing business and data analysis to secure critical access pathways.
   
• Enterprise Entra ID Hardening – reducing identity risk in the cloud and improving organizational hygiene.
   
• Application Control (AppLocker) Rollout – implementing policy-driven application whitelisting to strengthen endpoint security.
   

These experiences strengthened my skills in detection, response, and cloud security engineering, while deepening my understanding of policy, governance, and risk.

I am now focused on advancing into Cloud or AI Security Engineering, combining technical analysis, builder mindset, and strategic insight to secure cloud and AI environments, improve detection and response, and support evidence-based decision-making. Outside work, I’m passionate about learning AI, Cloud Security and IOT Pentesting.
