What is a security tools engineer?

Security Tools Engineers are IT professionals who design, implement, and maintain cybersecurity tools and systems to protect an organization's digital assets. They work with a variety of security technologies, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scanners, and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms.
