Apply Zero Trust principles across identity, network, endpoint, application, data, and cloud security.
Analyze technical environments to identify security gaps and recommend practical improvements.
Translate security requirements and Zero Trust guidance into implementable technical solutions.
Configure, test, troubleshoot, and maintain security tools and controls.
Support secure access, authentication, authorization, segmentation, monitoring, and policy enforcement.
Collaborate with security architects, network engineers, application teams, infrastructure teams, and client stakeholders.
Assist with cloud security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, security monitoring, and system-hardening initiatives.
Develop technical documentation, implementation plans, standard operating procedures, and configuration guidance.
Communicate technical issues and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
