• Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor and ensure adherence to established security policies and industry standards. Develop pragmatic solutions to address identified security risks and fulfill compliance requirements.
• Research emerging data security technologies and industry trends (e.g., AI-driven threat detection) to recommend innovative protective solutions that enhance organizational security posture.
