  • Experience integrating AI-driven tools for identity governance, adaptive MFA, or behavioral analytics.

  • Strong consulting presence and communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.

Preferred Skills

  • Knowledge of AI governance, model explainability, and ethical AI in security contexts.
