- Security Auditing: Conduct comprehensive audits of authentication flows to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with NIST and ISO 27001 standards.
- Zero Trust Strategy: Spearhead the implementation of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles to minimize lateral movement within our network.
- Incident Response: Lead technical response teams during security breaches, specifically focusing on identity compromise and account takeover scenarios.
- Policy Development: Define and enforce strict authentication policies that balance security with user experience.
- Vendor Management: Evaluate and manage relationships with third-party security vendors to ensure optimal 2FA integration.
Qualifications
