- Partner with engineering, cloud, IAM, and application teams to support a smooth rollout and operational readiness.
- Help define workflows, reporting, and remediation processes aligned to continuous threat and exposure management cycles.
- Document integration steps, platform behavior, and operational procedures to support long-term program maturity.
- Identify and map internal and external attack surfaces across cloud, network, application, and SaaS environments.
- Detect unknown, shadow, misconfigured, or abandoned assets that increase exposure.
- Monitor changes in assets and maintain ongoing visibility into evolving environments.
- Prioritize remediation based on threat activity, exploitability, data sensitivity, criticality, and compensating controls.
- Support remediation planning, track progress, and confirm exposures are fully resolved.
- Contribute to program governance, metrics, reporting, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Work with IAM teams to assess privilege misuse, identity sprawl, and authentication weaknesses.
