Practice

Cyber Security, Avanade India

Location

Bengaluru / Delhi NCR (Hybrid)

Experience

12–14 years in the cyber security domain, with current, hands-on design and implementation experience across the Microsoft security platform — Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Entra ID, Intune and Purview

Role Summary

Avanade India’s Cyber Security practice is looking for a Security Architect with robust hands-on experience across the Microsoft security estate. This is a client-facing role for someone who can design a Sentinel and Defender architecture, work alongside a client SOC team on the detail, and present the design credibly to senior client stakeholders.

The emphasis is on breadth across the Microsoft security platform — threat protection, cloud security, identity and data security — and the ability to design them as one integrated architecture rather than a set of separately deployed products. You will lead the security workstream on client engagements, support pursuits as the security SME, and contribute to the practice’s standards and reusable IP.

Key Responsibilities





• Own the security architecture for client engagements — target-state design, Zero Trust design, control mapping and a prioritised security roadmap aligned to the client’s risk profile.
• Design and implement Microsoft Sentinel: workspace and tenant design, ingestion strategy, log tiering and cost optimisation, detection engineering in KQL, and SOAR playbooks.
• Support migrations from legacy SIEM platforms (Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight and similar) to Microsoft Sentinel — content and use-case migration, parallel running and validation.
• Design across Microsoft Defender XDR — Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Office 365 and Defender for Cloud Apps — covering deployment architecture, policy design, tuning and incident investigation.
• Design cloud posture and workload security with Defender for Cloud — CSPM and CWPP, secure score improvement and regulatory compliance dashboar
