Build and maintain the organization's security framework, including policies, controls, and governance practices that protect systems and information.
Drive vulnerability identification, patch coordination, and remediation tracking to reduce exposure across the environment.
Coordinate security operations such as monitoring, incident triage, response activities, and required communication related to regulatory obligations.
