Summary
Alec Maly is a Senior Security Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience hardening Microsoft 365 and Azure estates for large enterprises, currently improving DTE Energy’s security posture through automation, custom audits, and enterprise-scale configuration changes. He blends software development and security research—building bespoke tooling and scripts (PowerShell, Python, TypeScript) to detect misconfigurations like non-expiring app secrets, unenforced MFA, and excessive guest sharing—and drives remediation across thousands of M365 assets. Alec’s background as a primary support and developer for SharePoint, Power Platform, and Teams gives him a practical appreciation for operational constraints, enabling pragmatic, security-minded solutions that reduce administrative overhead. He’s comfortable translating security findings into enterprise processes and has a track record of rapid prototyping (from Teams bots to COVID response systems) that deliver measurable impact. Based in the Charlotte metro, he pairs a BS in Computer Science with a curiosity-driven approach to tooling and research that surfaces non-obvious attack surfaces before they become incidents.
