I make sure the right people have the right access, and that you can prove it.
At Excellenta Cyber, I design and run identity security for organisations that need access to be secure, auditable, and invisible to the people doing the work.
About
I'm Albert, an IAM Engineer at Excellenta Cyber, based in Mauritius. I help the firm's clients design, implement and tune identity platforms, from first Okta tenant to mature, governed access across the Microsoft security stack.
I bring a background that runs from network engineering and database operations through to senior systems administration. That breadth means I think about identity as part of the whole environment, not a login screen bolted on top.
I hold an MSc in Business Information Systems Management from Middlesex University, which is a fair summary of how I work: technical depth, pointed at business outcomes.
