Unwana Essien is a security-minded infrastructure engineer with 10 years’ experience delivering resilient IT and cloud environments across finance, entertainment, retail and managed services. Currently bridging hands-on Second Line support and Cloud Security Architecture, he designs hardened Azure deployments, automations and detection rules while leading incident response and platform stability for fast-scaling organisations. He has a track record of reducing phishing and data leakage, cutting incident resolution times through playbooks and automations, and guiding post-merger infrastructure expansions with zero residual impact. Comfortable from PowerShell and Python automation to Sentinel KQL tuning and Zero Trust controls, he combines operational rigor with strategic security leadership. Holding an MSc in IT with Cybersecurity, Unwana is as likely to author clear runbooks and train teams as he is to hunt threats or pen a custom detection rule.
