  • Manage and enhance the Vulnerability Management Program using Tenable; provide SME-level threat intelligence to proactively track emerging vulnerabilities and drive the implementation of security patches, configuration changes, and targeted mitigations.

  • Conduct regular risk assessments, support penetration testing (external & internal), and compliance audits to enforce adherence to industry frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, GDPR, SOC 2), while actively supporting all security audit and regulatory requirement initiatives.

  • Develop and continuously refine security playbooks, incident response plans, and threat-hunting methodologies to strengthen detection capabilities and organizational resilience.

  • Monitor, analyze, and respond to incidents via Azure Sentinel; provide SME-level support to analysts using CrowdStrike and Azure Sentinel for advanced threat investigations, while crafting SIEM use cases tailored to the current threat landscape.

  • Lead IR efforts-including containment, eradication, and forensic analysis-while executing a strategic vision to develop innovative approaches that accelerate threat response and remediation and continuously refine incident response plans and threat-hunting methodologies.

  • Harden CAAT environments against AI/ML-based attacks; provide technical mentorship to junior security engineers and analysts; and clearly communicate security risks and mitigation strategies to stakeholders.

  • Ensure adherence to industry standards (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, GDPR, SOC 2) and actively support security audits and regulatory compliance initiatives.

  • Communicate security risks and mitigation strategies to stakeholders, collaborate cross-functionally with IT, development, and operations to embed security across the organization, and manage multiple concurrent projects while applying strong analytical and problem-solving skills, working autonomously with excellent written and verbal communication.

  • Integrate secure coding practices into the SDLC; conduct SAST, DAST, and IAST; perform secure code reviews; and provide tailored remediation guidance to development teams.

  • Manage WAF and related security solutions against OWASP Top 10 threats (SQLi, XSS, insecure deserialization); enforce API security (authentication, authorization, encryption) alongside OAuth, JWT, and MFA; and conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to identify application weaknesses.

  • Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines to automate vulnerability scanning and compliance checks; utilize SCA to track and mitigate thirdparty dependency risks; implement secrets management to eliminate hardcoded credentials; and enforce zerotrust principles across DevOps workflows.

  • Partner with development teams as an Application Security SME to foster a securityfirst culture, promoting proactive ownership of security controls throughout software development.

  • Rapidly acquire skills in fastmoving domains (AI, ML, Quantum); understand attacker exploit techniques and remediation methods; maintain expertise across infrastructure, network, endpoint, and mobile security; and provide technical mentorship to junior security engineers and analysts.
