  • Extensive experience with cloud security (AWS, GCP) and securing large-scale cloud infrastructures.
  • Proficiency in SIEM tools (Splunk, Elastic), vulnerability management platforms (Tenable, Qualys), and penetration testing tools (Burp Suite, Nessus).
  • Strong understanding of network security, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS), and encryption protocols.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps and experience securing containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes) in a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Ability to respond to security incidents swiftly and perform thorough forensic investigations.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
