Cloud Security Consulting (AWS & Azure)
Cloud Security Consulting for AWS and Azure
Digvijay Parmar is a cloud security consultant who defines cloud security controls and leads on-prem-to-Azure security assessments at enterprise scale, with AWS Solutions Architect and Azure AZ-500 Security certifications and 12+ years securing Fortune 100 environments.
What cloud security consulting should deliver
Cloud security consulting should produce defensible controls, posture, and architecture for complex multi-cloud deployments — not a checklist. The work defines cloud security controls, maps them to your regulatory constraints, and validates they are enforced across AWS and Azure.
My cloud security work is grounded in real enterprise deployments. At Altice USA I defined cloud security controls and led on-prem-to-Azure security assessments at enterprise scale, applying deep TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, NAT, and VPN expertise to architect and troubleshoot secure networks that span on-prem and cloud.
Cloud security with AI on top
The platforms I build — FirewallIQ and the AI-Driven Security Investigation Platform — are designed to integrate with cloud surfaces. FirewallIQ's connectors include AWS, Azure, and GCP alongside Splunk, ServiceNow, and Jira, so cloud firewall and security group policy is governed with the same set-mathematics and reachability graphs as on-prem firewalls.
The AI-Driven Security Investigation Platform correlates firewall policy, Cisco ISE / NAC authorization logs, and BGP/OSPF routing data — including cloud routing — to automate investigation and validate segmentation across hybrid estates. It cut diagnostic latency by 75%.
Certifications and depth
I hold AWS Solutions Architect and Azure AZ-500 Security certifications, alongside Cisco Security Core, CCNA/CCNP, and PCNSE. The combination of cloud certifications and deep network security experience is what makes cloud security consulting credible for enterprise and financial environments — cloud controls do not exist in isolation from the network and identity layers.
I also hold an M.S. in Cybersecurity from DePaul University (2018) and wrote The Gen AI Security Playbook and Architecting Zero Trust with AI, the latter covering AI-augmented Zero Trust architecture for hybrid and cloud environments.
