* Analyze solution architectures, network and data flows, trust boundaries, authentication models, integrations, external connectivity, and security controls
* Perform threat modeling to identify realistic threat scenarios, attack paths, trust-boundary concerns, and potential security weaknesses
* Identify cybersecurity risks and assign appropriate risk ratings using established enterprise risk methodologies combined with senior-level professional judgment
* Clearly articulate the technical and business implications of identified cybersecurity risks
* Define required and recommended security controls and practical mitigation strategies based on identified risk
* Produce concise, defensible risk documentation identifying the exposure, potential impact, risk rating, mitigation requirements, and residual risk
