PROFILE
Miha Purg
Worked extensively on the ComplianceAsCode/content repository, delivering security hardening and compliance automation for Ubuntu systems. Over 14 months, implemented CIS and STIG-aligned controls, enhanced SSH and PAM configurations, and improved audit rule coverage using Bash, Ansible, and YAML. Developed robust test automation and templating to ensure reliable policy enforcement and reduce misconfigurations. Addressed system hardening through file permissions, ownership validation, and network security improvements, while refining CI/CD workflows for consistent deployment. Focused on maintainability by refactoring code, aligning profiles across Ubuntu versions, and resolving packaging and configuration issues to support regulatory compliance and stable, auditable environments.
