    • Misconfigurations
    • Policy violations
    • Security control gaps
  • Partner with engineering teams to drive remediation of CSPM findings, ensuring:
    • Clear ownership
    • Risk-based prioritization
    • Sustainable fixes
  • Support tuning of CSPM policies and rules to reduce noise and improve signal quality.
  • Collaborate with the Risk Operations team to ensure CSPM findings that are not automatically remediated are tracked as Risk Issues.

Security Operations & Risk Enablement
  • Collaborate with Cyber Defense, Incident Response, and the Integrated Risk Management team to ensure cloud security controls support operational and risk objectives.
  • Provide input into cloud-related risk assessments, audits, and security reviews.
Assist with security investigations and incident response activities involving cloud environments.
