  • Threat Modeling and Architecture: Guide engineering teams in secure design practices, identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities through proactive threat modeling and architectural review.
  • Incident Detection and Response: Build, manage, and improve incident detection tools and processes. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to investigate security incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and establish countermeasures to prevent recurrence.
