* Collaborate with teams to integrate security best practices into solution development.
* Ensure compliance with ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, and GDPR requirements.
* Oversee third-party security service providers and maintain up-to-date knowledge of emerging threats.
Ideal Candidate Profile:

* Strong knowledge of PowerShell scripting, Azure Policy, and infrastructure-as-code.
* Experience with tools such as VMware, Commvault, SolarWinds, WAFs, and Microsoft 365 stack.
* Track record of security automation, threat detection, and forensic analysis.
* Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and agile delivery environments.
