- Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Communications teams to support breach notification and regulatory response obligations during significant security incidents
- Drive security operations strategy through vendor management, operational metrics, and cross-functional initiatives spanning IAM, vulnerability management, DLP, and exposure reduction
