• Assess GenAI and agentic solution designs for model security, data protection, prompt integrity, provenance, and safe orchestration of agents.

• Author and maintain ADRs, patterns, and reference architectures—including GenAI system integration, LLM usage, and multi-agent frameworks—clearly documenting options, controls, and trade-offs.

• Define and evaluate security controls for GenAI systems, including model access, data boundary protections, prompt injection defenses, and guardrails for autonomous or multi-step agent behavior.
