• Assess clients’ security posture, identify gaps and define pragmatic improvement roadmaps across applications, cloud platforms and development processes.
• Act as a trusted security advisor and propose modern solutions that improve security, automation and operational efficiency.
• Design and implement end-to-end controls for applications, cloud infrastructure, development pipelines and operational environments.
• Enable secure adoption of LLM-based solutions and Agentic AI.
• Define security guardrails and mitigate AI-specific risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, data poisoning, model abuse, insecure integrations and misuse of autonomous agents.
• Embed security into SDLC and SSDLC in cooperation with development, architecture and platform teams.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, APIs and cloud-native development environments.
• Perform application and system security assessments aligned with OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS and OWASP API Top 10.
• Conduct threat modelling for cloud-native, hybrid, distributed and AI-enabled architectures.
• Design and support secure architectures across Azure, AWS or GCP, including identity, network security, data protection and platform security.
• Secure containerized and cloud-native environments, including Kubernetes.
• Use automation and AI-powered tools to improve vulnerability detection, code and configuration analysis, threat detection and security operations.
• Translate complex security risks into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Help clients build long-term security capabilities and securely modernize cloud foundations, data flows, model integrations, inference APIs and IAM.
