• Review privileged access requests, applying least-privilege and risk-based decision-making, and conduct periodic access reviews for sensitive systems.
• Coordinate external penetration testing and vulnerability assessment engagements; validate, triage, and integrate findings into the vulnerability management program.
• Conduct proactive threat hunting to identify potential compromises, misconfigurations, and emerging risks ahead of formal alerts.
• Evaluate and select security and business applications/software prior to deployment, including endpoint/EDR tooling, by building vendor scoping documents, leading vendor evaluation sessions, and assessing third-party/vendor security risk.
• Produce and deliver a monthly security metrics and dashboard report to leadership summarizing vulnerability management, incident, and program status.
• Partner with leadership on annual planning to identify and prioritize the coming year's security initiatives.
• Partner with and mentor IT associates on security best practices, helping to elevate the organization's overall security posture.
