## Description

Security must be architected, not bolted on. You understand how to embed security into every layer of an enterprise system, from data pathways to identity flows, to network segmentation and cloud control planes. We are seeking an Enterprise Security Architect to design security solutions for clients with complex network, platform, and data-protection needs by implementing solutions that withstand advanced cyber threats. In this role, you will help define, enhance, implement, and maintain security solutions for one or more networks and technology platforms while guiding adherence to information security policies and procedures.
