Top SchoolRahul Sharma is a Security Architect II with 11 years of hands-on experience and eight years focused on information security, currently shaping defensive architecture at Akamai in the UK. He is a Cisco ISE subject-matter expert who has repeatedly led migrations and implementations across firewalls, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), SSO/MFA (Entra ID, Okta, Duo), WAFs, and endpoint management tools.
