• Support security monitoring and detection capabilities and help improve visibility across the technology environment.
• Participate in vulnerability management, security assessments and remediation activities.
• Support security elements of technology projects, migrations and integrations.
• Assist with security evidence and technical controls supporting frameworks such as SOC 2, CIS Controls and ISO 27001-aligned practices.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of security tooling, processes and automation.
