You will perform security assessments and audits of our data, remediating any vulnerabilities or issues identified.

You will monitor and respond to data security incidents and events, conducting root cause analysis and remediation as necessary. Establishing and documenting repeatable processes to ensure proper use of encryption, key management, data masking, and data labeling technologies in the cloud will be part of your responsibilities.

Providing security training and guidance to cloud users and stakeholders for data protection will also be a key aspect of this position.
