Is today #FediHire Friday? Sure looks like it!

What I'm looking for: A senior level, individual contributor role supporting Windows, Active Directory, Certificates, PKI, Azure, and information security in a large environment. Interested in relocating outside of the US. I like to solve weird problems and make computers run smoothly. I want to help others use technology effectively.

My main focus the last few years has been rebuilding and modernizing a struggling certificate management team. That includes growing the team to meet our company needs, migrating our AD-integrated private PKI stack, getting a handle on our web PKI consumption, and making massive improvements to our certificate lifecycle management platform. I supported and advised our CyberSec and Desktop teams as we rolled out multi-factor authentication to 50,000 employees and contractors across the US. My background in understanding deep computer fundamentals, talent for quickly grasping nuances of larger systems, and calmness in a crisis have contributed to quickly resolving major technology outages regardless of root cause.

This role hasn't been exclusively technical. A big part of my current job is building relationships with our developers to help them understand how certificates work, the responsible ways to use them, and what our relevant internal policies are. I've been training and teaching junior and mid-level engineers both practical PKI concepts and our specific enterprise requirements. I've gotten to spend some time with upper management to both explain the immediate challenges we've had and the plans we can implement improve our infrastructure, reducing costs and outages.

While this position has been focused on certs and how to use them, I'm very comfortable considering a technical leadership role for Windows (server and desktop) administration and Active Directory. I also have some good experience with Azure and virtualization platforms, but they haven't been my daily focus for several years.

My current employer is direct retail for general public consumers. I've also worked in banking/finance, manufacturing, and architecture firms. The common thread is I love to help people leverage technology for their goals, to help them be more effective.

In my personnel/volunteer time I've done very similar: working backstage with lights/sounds/projections so live performers can do their best.

Right now I'm in Syracuse, New York (about five hours from NYC), but I'm open to relocation/migration anywhere in the world.

PMs open if you want to talk details. Boosts/reshares appreciated.

Really pisses me off that #Microsoft docs don’t show how to do build and deployment of apps using the cli.

My pipelines can’t use VSCode
I’m running locally so can’t use Actions
Source control integration in the #Azure app service is not the right way

@bert_hubert Vraagje: ik ben een data engineer die graag met open source producten en #Python werkt. Onlangs heb ik mijn #Azure Data Engineering Associate certificering gehaald, omdat mijn werkgever graag Microsoft partner wil worden. De dag nadat ik mijn DP-203 certificaat binnen had, verscheen volgens mij jouw artikel over Cloud Kootwijk. En ik kan de humor daar ook nog wel van inzien /1

@GossiTheDog the sheer fact that #MSPs & #CSPs can access clients' setups without proper #authorization [including #KYC / #KYB, #AuthCode|s and proper authorization via contract] is already sickening.

Such fundamental #ITsec fuckups are reasons alone not to use #Azure or any #Microsoft products & services at all...

  • I mean, it doesn't require #Mitnick-level skills to pull this off, since it doesn't necessitate #Lapsus-Style #SIMswap or other means to gain access...
CyberplaceKevin Beaumont (@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social)Attached: 3 images This is the partner.microsoft.com portal, it allows CSPs - Cloud Solution Providers - to gain access to their customer's environments. CVE-2024-49035 was around improper privilege management, i.e. being able to access things you shouldn't. It being in CISA KEV says it was being exploited in the wild. That portal allows a huge footprint of access by design.

Looking for a Canadian (or, at the very least, non-US with a Canadian presence) cloud hosting company that has services similar to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud etc. Particularly per-minute pricing on instances, autoscaling and load balancing, object storage, API-driven deployment, etc.

Any suggestions or experience with this? cacloud.com is the only one I could find, any experience with them?

AP hat die Woche einen eindrücklichen Bericht darüber geschrieben wie intensiv #Israel kommerzielle AI-Produkte im Krieg in #Gaza & #Libanon etc. nutzt um Ziele zu markieren und dann zu töten. (Etwa von #Microsoft #OpenAI #Azure #ChatGPT
Die Kriegsführung mit AI wird dadurch nicht präziser sondern vor allem leichter durchführbar und tödlicher.
