• Develop and refine security incident response playbooks and procedures for various threat scenarios.
• Manage vulnerability identification, prioritization, and coordination with IT teams for patching.
• Perform security assessments and audits to ensure compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and HIPAA.
• Collaborate with network, system, and development teams to embed security best practices into the DevOps lifecycle.
• Create detailed post-incident reports and metrics to communicate risk levels and improvement strategies to leadership.
