Speaker Bio: Anthony Porter
Anthony, affectionately known as Anto, hails from Perth, Western Australia. With over 16 years of IT experience, Anto has spent the last 6 years specialising in Microsoft cloud technologies. Currently, he serves as a Cloud Security Architect at Canon Business Services ANZ, where he leverages his expertise in Microsoft Intune and Defender XDR to enhance security and streamline operations.
Anto’s career journey began in Microsoft Cloud Managed Services helpdesk, progressing through various cloud infrastructure projects, and ultimately focusing on cloud security. He is a strong advocate of the “KISS” model – Keep It Simple Stupid – ensuring that solutions are secure and effective, while still being admin and user-friendly.
Outside of his professional life, Anto enjoys spending time with his family, tinkering with his Subaru, and collecting Hot Wheels.
He is also a regular turned co-organiser at the Perth-based Microsoft Security Meetup user group, where he shares his knowledge and insights with the community.
Connect with Anto on LinkedIn for collaboration and discussions on cloud security.
