You have a strong background in information security and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) — you understand the complexities of securing advanced hardware systems and the importance of maintaining compliance with various standards. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working across disciplines to address security challenges effectively. Your experience includes hardening software platforms and deploying secure environments, ensuring that security and availability are prioritized in all aspects of development.

You are detail-oriented and proactive in managing security incidents and ensuring endpoint security — you have a knack for establishing baseline device configurations and guaranteeing technical compliance with information security standards. Your ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders allows you to advocate for security best practices across the organization. You are committed to continuous improvement and staying updated on the latest security trends and technologies.
