Collaboration & Communication:
  • Work closely with IT, engineering, legal, compliance, and product teams to address security issues, design security solutions, and mitigate risks within both traditional and cloud-based environments.
  • Communicate security risks, vulnerabilities, and threats clearly to senior leadership, collaborating to define and execute remediation plans.
  • Serve as a primary liaison with external partners, vendors, and regulatory bodies during incident response engagements.
Training, Mentoring & Leadership:
  • Provide training and mentorship to junior security team members, fostering a culture of detection and response excellence.
  • Conduct tabletop exercises, simulations, and prototyping of security solutions.
Compliance & Regulatory Requirements:
