Drive Governance, Risk, and Enablement: Translate compliance requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2) into actionable cloud controls. Empower engineers by leading threat modeling sessions, facilitating architecture reviews, and publishing reusable security patterns. Evaluate and Integrate Security Tooling: Lead the evaluation, selection, and strategic integration of modern cloud security platforms (e.g., CNAPP, CSPM, CIEM) to provide measurable value and actionable insights.
