• Apply threat informed prioritization using CVSS, EPSS, CISA advisories, exploit intelligence, and business impact to reduce critical risk and mean time to remediation (MTTR).
• Operate, tune, and optimize vulnerability scanning platforms, asset discovery, and reporting pipelines to ensure accurate coverage and actionable findings.
• Partner with Infrastructure, Engineering, DevOps, Application, Cloud, Threat Intelligence, and Automation teams to drive remediation, establish secure baselines, and respond to zero day or imminent threats.
• Produce and present technical and executive level reports, dashboards, and metrics highlighting remediation SLAs, risk reduction, and program maturity.
• Contribute to security best practices, secure coding standards, threat modeling, and risk assessments for application and infrastructure initiatives.
• Stay current on emerging vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and vulnerability management tooling to continuously improve program effectiveness.
