About

Hello, and Welcome to Ayo Dada’s Blog.
Since starting my first blog on 21st July 2013, the IT community has inspired and empowered me. Giving something back makes me feel good. I was a technical architect specializing in Microsoft Windows Enterprise Management (Hemis/SMS/ConfigMgr, a.k.a. SCCM) and Operating System Deployment solutions (MDT) for a decade.

Over the past few years, I have been at the forefront of the evolving Microsoft Cloud Architecture, navigating the changes within Cloud Identity, Hybrid Cloud or Mobility, Security for Enterprise Infrastructure, and Cloud Management.

My blog will show best practices for Microsoft’s cybersecurity capabilities and how they integrate with existing security architectures and capabilities.

I will also focus on best practices for the modernisation and effectiveness of cloud security.

I am sharing notes from the field and working with common use cases I have seen enterprise organisations use to help define a target state for cybersecurity capabilities.

Key Industry References will be applied, like Zero Trust principles, Cybersecurity Framework, and CIS benchmark tailor-made for Microsoft Modern Security Strategy will also be shown.

With over 18 years of experience, I have extensive knowledge of large-scale enterprise cloud transformation projects in authentication, authorisation, user management, IAM, Security, and compliance.

I have designed and implemented solutions that have significantly enhanced the operations of many clients across various industries, such as Allen and Overy, Deutsche Bank-DWS Group, Alstom Transport Group, Uniper Energy, Mondelez International, and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as the solution provider Microsoft, Avanade Microsoft 2022 Global SI & Advisory Digital Transformation, and BAE Systems Applied Intelligence.

My work has consistently delivered tangible results, instilling confidence in the effectiveness of my solutions.

I am deeply passionate about technology and have a relentless drive for learning. My collaboration with Microsoft on various programs, such as Partner Cloud Solutions Architect (CSA), Azure Advisor, and Microsoft TAP/CEP and Preview Programs, further highlights my industry recognition and expertise.

My passion lies in problem-solving and leveraging technology to deliver superior business services and value. This dedication ensures I am always fully committed to finding the best solutions for your enterprise-scale projects.

If you are implementing a Microsoft Cloud Architecture, focusing on Enterprise-Scale Hybrid, MultiCloud and Edge, Security, and Infrastructure management in your environment, I am here to offer my guidance and support. Let’s work together to ensure your success! That is my job — to make sure everything is excellent.
