Hi, my name is Dustin. Since 10+ years, I’m focusing on Microsoft technologies and software development. During the last years, I have specialized in security and compliance in the Microsoft 365 & Azure cloud ecosystem. Accordingly, I like to work on Entra ID identity protection and governance, Conditional Access, lifecycle processes, enterprise application management, the Microsoft Defender suite (Defender for Office 365 / Defender for Endpoint / Defender for Cloud Apps / Defender for Cloud), automated investigation & response with Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview data lifecycle management with retention policies & labels, information protection with MIP sensitivity labels & DLP policies, and even more.
Whenever possible, I really enjoy to automate processes using PowerShell, Azure Automation Runbooks, Azure Logic Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, or whatever technology fits best.
Accordingly, Microsoft cloud security & compliance as well as automation is exactly what you will find on this blog.
In the past, I gained detailed experience in Microsoft collaboration services including SharePoint Online, SharePoint 2010/2013/2016 On-Premises, Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for Business. In this regard, I focused on data migrations (either on-prem-to-cloud or tenant-to-tenant), the development of customer-specific extensions like SharePoint webparts or Teams apps with SPFx / PnP / React, the implementation of business applications and workflows with the Power Platform & Azure development stack, and the usage of APIs like Microsoft Graph API & SharePoint REST API, for example.
From time to time, you may find some of my blog posts being related not only to security & compliance but also dealing with SharePoint, MS Teams & Azure development.
Currently, I’m employed as Senior Consultant for Cloud Security & Compliance at a consulting company based in Germany. Here, I’m happy to help our customers to improve and harden their IT environments.
