- Support AI governance and risk management processes, including security reviews, monitoring requirements, incident escalation, and lifecycle controls.
- Assess solutions against applicable security frameworks and standards, including NIST, FedRAMP, and FIPS.
- Provide security guidance during technology evaluations, architecture reviews, security exceptions, and path to production activities.
- Work with cybersecurity engineering and operations teams on security capabilities involving SIEM, network security, endpoint security, data protection, and security configuration.
- Communicate security risks, requirements, and recommendations clearly to both technical teams and business stakeholders.
