  • Build and maintain relationships with technical leaders, engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to understand and evaluate implementation plans, business priorities and technical solutions to ensure risks are well communicated and understood by the key stakeholders.
  • Identify cloud-specific threat scenarios (control plane vs. data plane, IAM abuse paths, service misconfiguration) and evaluate proposed and approved cloud technical solutions for automation, resiliency, scalability, and security including appropriate tradeoffs, risks and opportunities.
  • Draft and communicate independent reports to inform broad audiences including engineers, executives, business leaders, product managers, board of directors, and regulators on the current cloud risk environment.
