You will also support BCG’s growing AI security coverage by helping identify exposure across AI and LLM workloads, cloud services that support AI‑enabled applications, and emerging AI‑adjacent attack paths. You will work with more senior team members to interpret risk, elevate priority issues, and provide clear, actionable guidance to engineering and platform teams. You will: Monitor, triage, and investigate findings across CNAPP capabilities, including CSPM, CIEM, KSPM, CWPP, IaC security, secrets detection, SCA/SBOM, API security posture, external attack surface management, and AI workload exposure. Apply contextual risk reasoning to cloud and AI‑adjacent findings, considering exploitability, attack path reachability, effective permissions, data exposure, model access, and potential blast radius. Help identify toxic combinations across cloud, identity, workload, API, and AI service configurations that may create meaningful exposure when chained together. Investigate zero‑day and critical vulnerability exposure across cloud workloads, containerized services, inference endpoints, orchestration layers, and supporting data stores. Monitor AI and LLM workload risks such as exposed inference endpoints, overly permissive model access, unsafe secrets handling, vector store exposure, and LLMOps pipeline misconfigurations. Support remediation by translating findings into clear, developer‑actionable guidance, tracking open items, following up with asset owners, and escalating aged or blocked issues with clear risk context. Contribute to shift‑left security by reviewing IaC and CI/CD findings, supporting security guardrail adoption, and helping reduce recurring cloud and AI workload misconfigurations. Write scripts, improve saved queries, update runbooks, and contribute observations that improve CNAPP signal quality, automation, and operational consistency.
