others.
• Proactively identifying and resolving issues using vulnerability data to pinpoint root causes of
problems and implement automated solutions in collaboration with the engineering team.
• Optimizing platform tactics to enable rapid response and mitigation of vulnerabilities and suspicious
behavior; create incident response playbooks and, where possible, automated remediation

• Ensuring compliance through systemic monitoring of translated compliance requirements such as
NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS and OWASP into automated checks and controls.
