  • Manage CrowdStrike policies and endpoint protection
  • Configure Microsoft 365 security controls
  • Support controls for unapproved cloud storage and file-sharing services
  • Partner with Data Protection teams and Cyera-based data discovery/DLP

  • Monitor blocked events and policy violations
  • Continuously tune controls to close egress gaps while minimizing business disruption
  • Support both Linux and Windows environments
